Built by Recruiters. For Recruiters.
Recruiting Advisors (RA) is a boutique consulting firm that helps large, complex organizations design and execute high-value, transformational, Avature-enabled Talent Acquisition (TA) technology deployments.
These high-impact initiatives require a strategic, analytical approach paired with creative thinking that reflects leading industry practices and evolving marketplace changes.
Since each of our projects is uniquely structured to the specific needs of our customers, we bring a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary delivery model.
Combined team experience spanning Fortune 50 enterprises, global COEs, and technology start-ups.
Every type of deployment — CRM, ATS, hybrid, global, startup-scale, and everything in between.
Jim Schnyder is a two-time SourceCon Grandmaster Champion and regular conference keynote speaker.
We have served talent acquisition teams across North America, EMEA, and APAC.
Core Capabilities
Most of our engagements utilize a specialized mix of these core capabilities:
Process Design
Re-engineering workflows and processes to maximize recruiter efficiency and usability.
Advanced Technical Configuration & Integrations
Advising upon or delivering tailored data models, automated workflows, portals, and complex third-party system integrations.
Project Management
Driving execution through a robust, flexible methodology that seamlessly blends both waterfall and Agile elements. While most of our clients prefer to use their own established methodologies, they frequently supplement them with high-impact elements of our frameworks.
Comprehensive Change Management, Testing & Training
Structuring stakeholder engagement, business use-case testing, and readiness strategies to ensure seamless user adoption.
What Makes Us Different?
Recruiting Advisors stands completely apart from generalist consulting firms in five distinct ways:
Trusted by Global Market Leaders
Despite our nimble, boutique size, Recruiting Advisors has earned the absolute trust and confidence of some of the most sophisticated and recognizable global enterprises in the world. Our amazing enterprise clientele features industry giants like EY, Wayfair, Manpower, Home Depot, and Virgin Media O2 — proving that complex, high-stakes organizations consistently choose us to handle their most critical talent acquisition assets.
We Only Do Avature (Laser Focus)
Our specialization is absolute. We do not implement other software or expand into competing platforms, meaning our depth of technical knowledge is best-in-class. This single-platform focus is why we are recognized as the premier "go-to partner" for Avature excellence.
We Have Sat in the Recruiting Leader Chair
Our consultants aren't just IT configuration specialists; they are industry veterans with 15+ years of domain leadership inside some of the world's largest organizations. Having directly managed strategic sourcing and global systems for enterprise giants like PepsiCo, we understand exactly what recruiting leaders need because we have walked in your shoes.
"We Make Avature Dance"
Our clients routinely choose us because we know how to extract maximum capability and ROI from the platform. Whether streamlining a complex multinational onboarding flow, automating hourly hiring processes, or dropping cycle times by 30–40%, we turn Avature into your ultimate competitive advantage.
Deep Partnership & Community Embedding
We maintain a strong, eight-year partnership with Avature that allows us to accelerate technical resolution times, access elite product resources, and directly influence product direction. We are deeply embedded in the Avature ecosystem, leading the Global System Administrator meetings and regularly presenting on stage at Avature Upfront conferences across both the US and Europe.
Unbiased, Client-First Advisory
Roughly half of our projects include a mix of RA and Avature personnel, while the other half require little to no Avature corporate involvement. In either scenario, we always provide completely unbiased advice focused entirely on what works best for your business. Additionally, we maintain strategic relationships with specialized TA vendors to seamlessly introduce supplementary functionality that Avature does not natively offer.
How We Work
A proven four-step engagement model built on transparency, accountability, and lasting results.
Discovery
We start by deeply understanding your organization, current state, challenges, and goals.
Strategy
We develop a tailored roadmap aligned to your business objectives, culture, and technology stack.
Execution
Our team works alongside yours — hands-on, in the system, and accountable for outcomes.
Optimization
We don't disappear at go-live. Continuous improvement, training, and partnership are built into every engagement.
