You Keep Hiring Reactively.
And It’s Costing You.
- Making the same hiring mistakes—and expecting different results
- Losing top talent while you wait to feel “ready”
- Gambling with each hire—no data, no system, just vibes
- Hiring into broken structures with unclear expectations
- Stuck in the ghost town of failed hires who never truly fit

“There is no way you can truly take your company where you want to go unless you make the right hires—recruiting people who fit your culture and have what it takes to go into the unknown and grow with you.”
Alec Broadfoot

FAQs
What is the People Plan™ Workshop?
The People Plan™ Workshop is a one-day deep dive with your leadership team to help you clarify your company’s long-term vision (3-10 years). During the workshop, we’ll work with you to assess your current leadership team, identify gaps in skills or roles, and discuss the challenges you’re facing. We’ll use proprietary tools to evaluate your current structure and map out the key positions you need to reach your goals.
How soon can we schedule the People Plan™ Workshop?
Typically, the Workshop takes place 2-4 weeks after the initial Discovery Call. This allows us time to prepare and customize the workshop to your unique business needs.
What will we get from the Workshop?
After the Workshop, we will deliver a Custom People Plan™ Proposal, which outlines the key positions needed to achieve your 3, 5, and 10-year goals.
This proposal will also include a suggested timeline, payment options, and how many positions VisionSpark can help you source and hire.
How is the People Plan™ different from just hiring a recruiter?
While a recruiter focuses on finding candidates for specific roles, the People Plan™ takes a more strategic approach. We help you map out your long-term vision, identify the roles that will help you achieve it, and then assist in sourcing, hiring, and integrating the right people to scale your business.
It’s not just about filling a position—it’s about building a proactive hiring strategy that aligns with your company’s growth.
Do we have to commit to hiring all the positions outlined in the People Plan™?
No, the People Plan™ proposal provides flexibility. After receiving the custom plan, you can decide on the level of commitment that works best for your business. We’ll help you prioritize the roles and hiring timeline that align with your current needs and budget.
How do we implement the People Plan™?
Once you’ve received your Custom People Plan™, you can choose to implement it with your internal team or partner with VisionSpark to execute the hiring process. As your expert hiring partner, we will assist and guide you through every step, ensuring you hire the right people at the right time, without the stress.
What happens after the Workshop?
After the workshop, we deliver a detailed People Plan™ Proposal. This outlines who, when, and how to hire the right people, based on your vision and goals. From there, we help you implement the plan and provide ongoing support throughout the hiring process.
What if we don’t know exactly who we need to hire yet?
That’s completely fine! The People Plan™ is designed to help you clarify your vision, identify the roles that will help you scale, and determine the right timing for each hire. We will work with you through the workshop to define your needs and map out the hiring process step by step.
How does the People Plan™ help with company culture?
The People Plan™ is about more than just filling positions—it’s about ensuring that the people you hire are aligned with your company’s values and culture. We use our proprietary Talent Impact Profile™ (TIP™) assessment to measure key factors like natural tendencies, leadership styles, and core values alignment.
This helps us identify candidates who not only have the skills to succeed but also fit seamlessly within your company culture.
By prioritizing cultural fit alongside skillset and experience, we ensure you scale your business in a way that preserves the essence of what makes your company unique, all while building a high-performing team that shares your vision.
Can VisionSpark help us hire for roles outside of the People Plan™?
Yes! If you need assistance with roles beyond the scope of the People Plan™, VisionSpark can help. We specialize in executive search and key team member recruitment and can work with you on other positions as your company continues to grow.
Is the People Plan™ only for fast-growing businesses?
No, the People Plan™ is for any business looking to take a strategic approach to their hiring. Whether you’re scaling quickly or experiencing growing pains, the People Plan™ helps you proactively build a team that supports your long-term goals, without waiting for a crisis to arise.
How does VisionSpark support us during the hiring process?
Once we’ve agreed on your People Plan™ and prioritized the roles to hire, we act as your expert hiring partner. We’ll guide you throughout the hiring process, from writing job descriptions to interviewing candidates. We take the stress out of hiring by handling the heavy lifting and ensuring you make the right hires on time.
What if we decide not to move forward after the People Plan™ proposal?
While we hope to continue partnering with you to execute the People Plan™, there’s no obligation to move forward after receiving the proposal. If you decide not to proceed, you still have a customized roadmap to help you make the right hires when the time is right.
