How we do it

Plan & Scope

Our process begins with an intake call with the leadership team to define target profiles, including locations, industries, and company sizes. We then map talent and determine key criteria and competencies for the ideal HR profile, creating a scorecard to rank candidates. We align on the interview panel and process, ensuring an effective candidate experience, and co-create the position description for clarity and consistency.

Research & Reporting

We identify candidates through LEAD3R networks, company websites, AI-enabled profiles, professional associations, and industry publications. We collect data on experience, accomplishments, and leadership skills to assess fit and refine roles. Benchmark profiles are provided for calibration.

Screening, Selection & Placement

The LEAD3R team screens and interviews candidates, creates a diverse short-list and refines it based on feedback. We expedite desirable candidates, schedule interviews with the client, and provide ongoing candidate care. For final round interviews, we partner with the client to develop case study materials, coordinate interviews, and facilitate debriefs for selection. We manage the offer process, conduct reference checks, and hold debrief sessions with non-selected finalists.

I have had the distinct pleasure of partnering with Kurt and the Enspira team on a pivotal talent management project for our growing organization. Throughout our collaboration, Enspira has served as a trusted consulting partner while functioning as an extension of our People and Culture team. From the very beginning, they have effectively engaged with key stakeholders across the organization to gather input and diverse perspectives while truly listening and assessing the evolving needs of our growing organization. Enspira’s demonstrated range of expert knowledge and decades of experience in this space has been invaluable. I look forward to our continued partnership and our next collaboration!

As Itamar Medical strives to lead the integration of sleep apnea diagnosis and management into the cardiac and direct-to-consumer patient care pathways, the Enspira team has helped ensure our talent practices best enable our growth goals. I’m pleased to have the opportunity to work with Vickie Maurer and Kurt Landon at Enspira, who were my former HR business partners at Johnson & Johnson. They listen, are responsive and provide practical solutions tailored to our unique needs.

–  Gilad Glick, President and CEO

At the GreenLight Fund, we are focused on delivering results for the people and cities we serve. The Enspira team has been a great partner and collaborator as we grow and evolve as an organization. They are people and relationship-centered, incredible listeners and experts at helping us develop and implement a broad HR framework tailored to our needs. Kurt and his team quickly came in and won the trust and confidence of everyone on our staff. We were very impressed with the way they listened—deeply and broadly—so our staff, at every level, felt their viewpoints were being considered. The process they used has created an environment of openness, trust and confidence, which will enable us to make the positive changes needed to support our people, mission and values for many years to come.

Enspira is an instrumental consulting partner for us at Purple Carrot. In addition to providing ongoing HR advisory services to us, they are actively engaged on a critical talent project for us on the topic of career pathing, leveling, and titling. Kurt and Enspira are experienced, sensible, pragmatic, and flexible in their approach and we highly value our collaboration.

–  Sarah Siegel, Head of People Operations

Over the past year, Kurt has been an insightful and thoughtful advisor on performance management design and best practices, compensation strategy, and scaling general people operations programs across the business. What is unique about Kurt and Enspira is he both advises and provides you with examples and/or templates of how to implement. As we grow to 200 people this year, I’m excited to continue working with Kurt and the Enspira team.

–  Stephanie Mardell, Chief People Officer

As a nonprofit organization whose mission is to help and inspire people through running, New York Road Runners is thrilled to collaborate with Kurt and the Enspira team on HR function optimization and relaunching our new employee-centered programs.
