“THE RIGHT RELATIONSHIP CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING”

The Pivotal Fit®

Every hire is a high-stakes decision — and an opportunity to raise the performance of the entire team.

At Tartan Group, we’ve developed The Pivotal Fit®, a signature four-step process designed to bring greater precision and confidence to executive hiring. It reflects our commitment to quality, long-term success, and the belief that great outcomes start with great alignment.

Rooted in Six Sigma rigor and shaped by our deep expertise in organizational psychology, The Pivotal Fit® goes far beyond reviewing résumés for skills. Much like an FBI profiler, we dig deep to understand the role— not just qualifications, but we dig into the subtle interrelationships between skills, experience, culture, and the unique dynamics required for success in the role. This disciplined approach helps ensure we place the right individual in the right pivotal role — one who doesn’t just fill a position but elevates the team.

Our work doesn’t stop at the offer letter. We help clients implement a tailored 90-day onboarding strategy and take a holistic view of fit — one that ensures the organization is as aligned to support the new hire as the hire is to the organization.

If you’re looking to add a pivotal person to your team, The Pivotal Fit® delivers a process — and a result — that goes beyond conventional search. It’s not just about hiring. It’s about getting it right.
