The way to build companies and teams has changed.

How hiring works now is rigid

A hiring approach that favors specialists slows down founders and leaders' ability to dynamically build their team and pivot in response to changing needs

The future of hiring is flexible

Building a talent stack that is skilled, agile, and adaptable requires embracing a new approach. At oAT, we've developed a unique, flexible operating model to fill critical gaps in your organization. We embed multifunctional generalists who execute as experienced and embedded team members.

oAT's operating model leverages the power of generalists. Generalists are operators with both deep and broad skill sets, owning both strategy and execution.

Traditional Specialist Model

Specialized hiring is rigid and costly, requiring companies to enter long-term engagements and contracts with narrowly defined responsibilities and outputs.

oAT Generalist Model

Hiring oAT's generalists allows your organization to remain capital-light and flexible. Our responsibilities shift as your business evolves and the world changes. We drive impact where and when you need it most.

oAT's model solves three core problems:

Problem 1: When your company has multiple unmet functional needs and limited resources

Traditional Specialist Model

Hiring an agency, marketplace, or full time specialist works only when scope, role and responsibilities are clearly understood and unchanging. Investing time and money into these resources puts pressure on you to 'get it right' from the start, and you lose the ability to learn by doing and nimbly adapt as your unique needs come into focus. The result is either a doubling down in the wrong direction or high switching costs to go back and hire the right person.

oAT Generalist Model

Embedding an oAT generalist with experience in your functional area of need allows you to tackle the things you know you need today while doing the work to identify what you need tomorrow. Your generalist builds the foundational processes of a function and flexes with your business as new demands emerge. When your needs shift more, seamlessly tag in another oAT generalist with different skill sets, equipped with all the learnings and context of the first.

Problem 2: When your business is in a state of change and requires a flexible operating layer

Traditional Specialist Model

Companies are now facing a talent gap. They know they need more hands on deck but finding and hiring the right people takes too long and costs too much. The recruiting and hiring process is lengthy, expensive, and error-prone, especially as you hire for roles before you fully understand how they fit your long-term strategy.

oAT Generalist Model

oAT generalists can start working within a week of being hired - reducing your time to value and de-risking an expensive hiring mistake. By the time you're ready to hire a FTE, your embedded oAT generalist will have shaped the contours of the role with you, creating a clear and informed hiring profile.

Problem 3: When your best people are being slowed down by work that doesn't match their value

Change the way you build
