Titus Talent Strategies

Finding the right person for a role can significantly impact a team’s trajectory, but too often, the hiring process stops at filling the vacancy. Titus Talent Strategies takes a broader view, blending AI-powered technology with a relationship-driven approach. Its “high-tech, human-touch” model combines automation for building candidate pipelines with genuine human engagement to deliver faster placements, stronger hires, and lasting team performance.

Titus focuses on understanding people, not just positions. Tools like the talent diagnostic assess team dynamics, reveal gaps, and guide long-term, purpose-driven performance. The company delivers end-to-end recruitment services, including executive search, key role hiring, and fractional recruitment, across industries such as construction, legal, and manufacturing.

Titus’ proprietary Hire 4 Performance® process focuses on “whole-person hiring,” looking beyond resumes to evaluate cognitive and behavioral strengths, values and motivation, and relevant skills and experience. It replaces traditional job descriptions with outcome-driven “performance profiles” that define success by results, not tasks. The goal is long-term success and the creation of high-performing teams.

Our goal is not just to help a company hire the right person today. It is to ensure they have the right people, in the right roles, working well together for years to come

Beyond talent acquisition, Titus provides optimization services that include consultation, training, and development tools, all tailored to align with each client’s goals. Over 1,100 organizations have benefited, with strong satisfaction and retention. Its 150-person team, spread across 25 states, embodies the same high performance it delivers.

From Pain Points to Performance

Many clients turn to Titus when a critical gap, like a missing executive, a new department to staff, or a team suffering from high turnover and low productivity, is affecting overall performance. The engagement starts with a talent audit that uncovers the immediate vacancy and any deeper organizational challenges.

Jonathan D. Reynolds, CEO and Visionary at Titus, compares the methodology to a doctor visit. If a patient comes in with a swollen knee, the physician would address the urgent problem first and then investigate the cause. Similarly, Titus often begins by filling the critical role while also diagnosing cultural or structural issues that, if unresolved, could lead to future turnover.

The audit results form the basis of a roadmap for optimization, covering recruitment, onboarding, engagement, and performance management. Clients may choose to implement the plan themselves or have Titus oversee it.

“Our goal is not just to help a company hire the right person today,” explains Reynolds. “It is to ensure they have the right people, in the right roles, working well together for years to come.”

Long-Term Partnerships that Deliver

One of the company’s earliest and longest-running partnerships began in 2010 with Milwaukee Tool. The well-known brand was struggling to reach the highest-performing candidates. Titus identified top talent from competing organizations and evaluated them using its “head, heart, and briefcase” approach, which examines cognitive and behavioral strengths, values and motivation, and relevant skills and experience.

Fifteen years later, Titus serves clients in industries including healthcare, manufacturing, and non-profits. In healthcare, for instance, long-standing work with Froedtert Medical Group in Wisconsin has brought in physicians and specialists who might not have applied otherwise, engaged through a mix of advanced AI tools and personalized outreach.

The relationship-driven approach generates hundreds of referral clients annually, keeping Titus on the Inc. 5000 list for six years. Its partnership model replaces one-off fees with ongoing relationships, enabling unlimited hires and a strong talent pipeline.

To preserve the integrity of these partnerships, Titus limits its client roster to avoid conflicts of interest. If the company is already working with an organization in a given market or industry, it will not take on a direct competitor. This exclusivity makes its services highly sought after in certain regions.

Organizations that partner with Titus gain more than access to advanced technology. They benefit from a deeply human recruitment process that focuses on relationships, long-term fit, and measurable success. The company upholds a singular promise that every client engagement will earn the kind of satisfaction that compels a referral, a commitment that has laid the foundation for lasting partnerships across industries.
