Fix What’s Broken. Build What Works.

Good ideas are easy to claim.

Results are harder to fake.

GBS works with organizations that expect employer brand, media, and research to do something—not just look good in a deck.


The proof of our work shows up in:

Hiring performance

System clarity

Candidate alignment

And teams that stop guessing and start deciding with confidence

What our work delivers

Across consulting, employer brand builds, research, and media, GBS clients consistently experience measurable improvements in how hiring systems perform—not just how they look.
In practice, this work has contributed to:


  • Reduced time-to-fill in hard-to-hire and priority roles by improving candidate clarity and self-selection


  • Stronger candidate alignment, resulting in fewer mismatches and downstream drop-off


  • Higher-performing career sites, with clearer navigation, stronger engagement, and improved completion behavior


  • More efficient recruitment media, where performance improves as clarity increases—not just spend



  • Greater recruiter and hiring manager adoption, because messaging reflects reality and is easier to use


These outcomes are not the result of isolated tactics.

They emerge when strategy, psychology, and execution are designed to work together.

This work has been recognized by the Communicator Awards, Davey Awards, Webby Awards, and Shorty Awards, reflecting excellence in experience design, innovation, and performance.

Custom Research & Talent Intelligence

When research is designed to be used, it changes decisions.

GBS-led research engagements have helped organizations:


  • Identify hidden sources of hiring friction before they became costly
  • Pressure-test assumptions around EVP, candidate experience, and messaging
  • Make high-stakes decisions with greater confidence and credibility
  • Build strategy grounded in evidence rather than anecdote


In many cases, this research becomes the backbone for employer brand strategy, activation, and media optimization.

Clients work with GBS because we:

01

Lead with diagnosis, not deliverables

02

Ground recommendations in psychology and evidence

03

Design systems teams can actually operate

04

Stay accountable to outcomes—not optics

We don’t disappear after the strategy is signed off.
We stay close to execution—because that’s where most things break.

If you want proof that strategy, psychology, and execution can work together—we should talk.

What this means for you


If you’re evaluating GBS, the question isn’t whether we can do the work.

It’s whether:

01

Your current systems are working as hard as they should

02

Your employer brand reflects reality—or just aspiration

03

Your media spend is driving confidence—or confusion
