At Turning the Corner, our approach to recruiting begins with a belief that work is one of the most dignified acts we perform as adults in our society. It shapes identity, stability, confidence, and opportunity. The interview process itself reflects the values of the organization. How a company hires says as much about its culture as how it leads. And how hires are onboarded and integrated into the company can set a strong foundation for a long-term employee. Our belief has shaped our process, and makes us different.

When a company calls us, it is usually during a moment of transition. A new leadership role is being created, a founder needs to step out of daily operations, or a business is expanding into unexplored territory. Hiring at this stage is critical for shaping the infrastructure that will support the next chapter.

For Boulder’s growing companies: You need to know that your people strategy is a direct contributor to sustainable profitability and long-term success. We've seen this as the case from working with over 450 companies over the past 15 years with a 97% retention rate on our placements, and training over 4,000 managers to be great leaders. 

If you're navigating growth, and need a critical hire, we would welcome a thoughtful conversation, and are also happy to extend a 10% discount on recruitment services and/or strategy to our fellow chamber members.

More about our process:

Because we're an HR firm first, we don't isolate recruiting from the broader employee lifecycle. We begin by creating a strong understanding of company values, culture, mission, outcomes, structure, and leadership capacity. We assess compensation structures, how the role will be onboarded, how performance will be measured, and whether the leadership team is equipped to support success. 

Then we hunt! We don't wait for applicants to appear. We proactively identify and pursue both active and passive candidates who are capable of thriving in growth environments. We engage professionals who may not be scrolling job boards, but who are open to a meaningful opportunity. We evaluate candidates not just for experience, but for judgment, motivation, and alignment with the company’s values; using structured interviews with uncommon questions, and validated assessments to understand how someone will operate under real pressure.

We also remain accountable beyond placement. Structured onboarding support, post-hire check-ins, and guarantees reflect our belief that a successful hire is not the end of the process; it's the beginning of the employment relationship. When we include 12-weeks of leadership training as part a search, it's because we know even the right hire can struggle without the right support.

What organizations ultimately gain from working with us is stability in a critical function, and alignment between role design and business goals. The result is stronger performance, protected culture, and growth that feels intentional rather than chaotic.

Recruiting, viewed through the lens of dignity and employee lifecycle integration, becomes so much more than a search. It becomes an investment in the long-term health of both the business and the people who choose to build their careers there.
