I'm super appreciative of Matt parachuting in to help us interview. My co-founder Nick and I learned a bunch from shadowing him in just one interview. I’m now way more analytical, persistent, and focused on data gathering in interviews. This really helped me reset.

VP, BizOps & Strategy @ Scale.ai
Working with Jordan gave me a superpower in talent: I've hired a couple dozen people since leaving Palantir with very few not accepting their offer. This comes from candidates feeling rigorously 'seen' and wanting to work with someone who cares about who makes the cut. You opened my eyes to this way of interviewing—thank you.

I am a managing partner for a PE firm with 7 portfolio companies. We had Jordan train all of our CEOs as part of a workshop and I believe the learnings were impactful in every one of the organizations.

Talgo showed us a methodology that completely changed the way we approached interviews, enabling us to uncover the true depth of candidates' experiences. As a result, I was able to build one of the strongest marketing teams in the industry at Chainlink—a team that's now renowned globally for its excellence. I can't recommend Talgo highly enough.

Matt and Jordan respond with alacrity to questions big and small and adjust their coaching to the scope and the person with indefatigable enthusiasm. The methodology is sound and the results undeniable – even the candidates we reject compliment our interviewing process! Worth every penny you can invest in it.

Single best training I have ever attended in my life. Hats off for running an amazing business. Will certainly send along your website to a few friends/colleagues. Worth every penny. I don't understand how someone would responsibly run a startup without this.
