CEO, Cape
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.
David Kinsella
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.
Aleem Choudhry
Co-founder and MD, Crane Street
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.
Adelyn Zhou
CMO, Chainlink Labs
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.
Elena Pantazi
Partner, Northzone
It was fantastic partnering with the Talgo team on a workstream and in-person workshop. We had great feedback from our investment team and would recommend them to other VCs and management teams.
Eliza Eddison
VP Operations, FabricNano
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.
Erin Petersen
Head of Talent, Great Hill Partners
“I’ve been in talent acquisition for 35 years and I’ve never seen anything quite like the Talgo interviewer training. Definitely a cut above, especially for a sophisticated, fast-paced audience.”
Julie Bell
COO, Emergence Capital
"The session you guys led was outstanding—a really powerful balance of concept and tactical, that will impact us in a myriad of ways. I've been interviewing and hiring for 25+ years and I shook my head at how much better I could have been doing it."
Mark Lorion
CEO, Tempo
The training has completely changed the way I organize and conduct interviews. It's given us a better view of candidates, and that leads to a better fit.

"Jordan's hiring skills class is the most valuable training I've taken in my career, and we've brought him back again and again to train our team as it's grown. Jordan is our secret weapon."
Kevin C.
CEO & Co-founder, Ossium Health
The training was awesome. Super concrete, actionable material at just the right level of generality. After the first session, I immediately asked other senior members of my team to sign up."

"I personally have seen the new tools and procedures greatly streamline the entire recruiting practice. We move faster and get it right more often."
Kai K.
CEO, Biofire
"We’ve been able to attract and hire amazingly high-caliber talent that wouldn’t normally work at an early stage startup. And we avoided some mis-hires that we would have made with a less rigorous process."
Lauren Dunford
CEO & Co-founder, Guidewheel
"Talgo's training was fantastic for us in terms of putting a great process in place. And for me personally, I felt it made me a much better interviewer, both in building rapport and asking the kind of questions that can get really great information. I would highly recommend the course for anyone looking to become a better leader and builder of teams with great talent."
Samuel Baker
Director of Product, Underdog Fantasy
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.
Woody Glier
Head of Federal Delivery, Scale.ai (now at 8VC)
Hiring Talgo was the single best investment I made for my people when growing Scale’s federal team, and has been the thing I’ve been thanked for more than anything else since leaving.
Eric Osman
CEO, Mockingbird
"The Talgo workshop changed my entire approach and thinking surrounding recruiting and interviewing. We still regularly quote it in all of our internal recruiting discussions. This workshop is truly one of the highest ROI investments a team can make."
Mike Anello
Co-Founder & Managing Director, M33 Growth
"The Talgo team has helped transform our approach across the board: building the Target, architecting the right process, and asking the right questions to truly assess candidate quality. These practices have driven significantly better outcomes for both our portfolio companies as well as our own firm."
Vijay Chandrasekhar
CEO & Co-founder, Cosmos Innovation
