We've spent hours filtering resumes only to get on Zoom call with someone who skimmed the job post but memorized the salary...
We’ve hired the “Best candidate” who crushed the interview, then froze when things got real...
We’ve played babysitter instead of business owner, jumping from crisis to crisis, cleaning up someone else’s work, and the list goes on...
But because of our mistakes, we've learnt the system on what it takes to make and break top employees in real estate, and want to share it with other business owners so they can scale but without the scars like we did.
But who are we? We’re Eddie Rosefield, Steve Richards, and Jerry Statham, aka the founders of Team Architects. After a combined 50 years in the real estate space, we have experienced every hiring mess you can imagine.
But, we’ve also seen what happens when you get hiring right. The kind of hires who own their role that move fast, think smart, and never need to be micromanaged.
We didn’t find those people by luck. We each had our system around it, one that came from tons of failing and then figuring out what actually works. So together, we combined our systems into what we call the TA-12 System, which has created hundreds of successful hires for real estate business owners.

Because DISC gives four traits but not 4 usable skills, so you’re left guessing if they can actually perform or just sound good to talk to in interviews....
Kolbe hands a score of how someone approaches problems, but not if they can solve them, so you hire based on preference, not proof....
And Myers-Briggs calls someone an "ENFP-A" or "INTJ-T" personality, which sounds smart until you realize it tells you nothing about how they’ll perform in your business.

And Myers-Briggs calls someone an "ENFP-A" or "INTJ-T" personality, which sounds smart until you realize it tells you nothing about how they’ll perform in your business.
Because if someone might be calm and analytical, but if they can’t communicate clearly or make fast decisions under pressure for their role, you're just going to end up either stepping in, fixing their mess, and doing the job you hired them to handle.
That's what makes our TA-12 System a whole different ball park compared to DISC, Kolbe, Myers-Briggs, and every hiring tool in the market. With our TA-12 System, you're able to assess 8 personality and cognition traits so you’re not just hiring someone who seems like a good fit, you’re hiring someone who’s ready to perform without micromanagement.
The process starts once a candidate completes the application, where their results are instantly compared to a role-specific avatar (built from your job description). The system then scores and color-tags each candidate, where green means interview, yellow means maybe, and red means don’t waste your time. That alone can cut your hiring time by up to 80%.
What used to take weeks of back-and-forth with different candidates can now take a single day.
But Team Architects doesn't stop there, the TA-12 Hiring System also gives you custom interview questions based on each candidate’s profile, so you're not stuck asking surface-level questions like “What’s your biggest weakness?” ever again to qualify.
Instead, you're digging into their brain on how they think, operate, and perform under the role. But finding the right candidate for the job is only half the battle. If your systems to onboard, train, and manage fall apart after the offer letter, that “great hire” won't last.

"We worked with Team Architects on hiring a Director of Operations and Sales Manager. The process was smooth and seamless. They were able to help with assessments for all applicants as well as in house staff to make sure we have everyone in the right seat. They helped with the job description, posting, and pre-screening applicants. We found two perfect fit candidates in half the time as expected. I highly recommend Team Architects for all hiring and HR assistance."


"We have struggled for years to hire good people. Eddie, Steve, and the entire team at Team Architects made the process simple. We now have a proven process to send candidates through. We no longer waste time on unqualified people and only hire ROCKSTARS. Thanks guys."


"In one conversation, we made a quick decision to hire Team Architects and use the system to find our COO. We had PTSD from bad hires in this role, but we went for it. We found the PERFECT candidate and this one guy has been a life-saver for our business. I cannot recommend you guys enough."
Traditional interviews are mostly guesswork—based on gut feelings, charisma, or who “seems like a good fit.” The TA‑12 System flips that. We use data-backed insights and objective scoring to measure how someone actually thinks, solves problems, and performs—so you’re not just hiring who interviews well, you’re hiring who can win in the role.
We don’t run your final interviews—because no one knows your business and culture better than you do. But we do take care of the heavy lifting beforehand. Every candidate we send your way has already gone through a live Zoom pre-screen with our team, where we vet their experience, qualifications, and fit for the role. So by the time they reach you, you're only spending time with top contenders—no sorting, no guessing, just high-quality interviews that move fast.
Most clients cut their hiring time by 80%—and save around $45,000 per hire by avoiding bad fits, endless interviews, and costly turnover. The best part? TA‑12 usually pays for itself with your very first great hire.
You’re not alone—that’s exactly why we built the TA‑12 System. We made the same costly hiring mistakes ourselves, and we were tired of guessing. This system was built to fix that. It doesn’t matter how many misfires you’ve had—TA‑12 gives you a clear, proven way to finally get it right.
We’ve got 15+ proven role profiles ready to go—from Lead Managers and Executive Assistants to COOs, CFOs, and Acquisitions Reps. But if you’ve got something more unique, no problem. You can request a Custom Role profile, and we’ll build one for you—for a small fee. Either way, you’re covered.
Absolutely. TA‑12 doesn’t stop at hiring—we give you onboarding frameworks and role-specific training guides that turn new hires into productive team members, fast. So you’re not just filling seats—you’re setting people up to succeed from day one.
Retention starts with the right fit—and that’s exactly what TA‑12 delivers. We help you hire people who are built for the role, not just good on paper. Plus, we give you tools to manage and lead them based on how they think and work best. When people feel aligned and set up to succeed, they stay.
It depends on the role—but most clients see qualified candidates ready for interviews within 4 to 6 weeks. C‑level hires may take a bit longer, but roles like agents or managers move fast. Whether you use our done-with-you service or self-implement with the platform, the process gets quicker and sharper with every hire.
