Go From Chaos to Confidence! Hire and Train Top Talent 80% Faster With The TA-12 System
5-Star Reviews From 5-Star Hiring Results
We’ve Made Those Hiring Mistakes—So You Don’t Have To
In the past, we’ve spent dozens and dozens of hours filtering through resumes only to get on Zoom calls with someone who either fluffed up their entire resume - or only cared about how much money they could make and how many vacation days they get…
We’ve hired the “Best candidate” who crushed the interview, then ended up underperforming and over-complaining…
We’ve played babysitter instead of business owner, jumping from crisis to crisis, cleaning up someone else’s work and the list goes on and on…
But because of our mistakes, we’ve developed a tried and true system to find, hire, onboard, train, manage and lead top tier talent in order to build a high performing team to both run and scale your business and we want to share it with other business owners so they can scale but without the scars like we did.
Team Architects (TA) was built for business owners, by business owners. The founder of TA are serial entrepreneurs who went from excelling in corporate America, to starting and operating dozens of successful businesses over the last 30 years.
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 systems. Ones that came from tons of trial and error until we found what worked. So together, we combined our systems into what we call the TA-12 System, which has created hundreds of successful hires for business owners.
We Tried Predictive Index Too—And Still Hired the Wrong People…
At first, it felt like a breakthrough. Predictive Index gave us behavioral patterns and cute charts that seemed to make hiring feel smarter.
But then we realized something: It told us how someone might behave—but not if they could actually perform.
We made hires who looked perfect on paper—“High A,” “Low D,” “Analyzer” types—and still ended up stepping in to fix their mistakes, rewrite their work, or re-do the job altogether.

Because PI doesn’t tell you if they can think on their feet, make smart decisions under pressure, or solve real problems inside your business. It’s personality insight—not performance prediction.
And when you’re trying to build a high-performing team, that’s just not enough. That’s why we built something better.
If you're serious about hiring a team to scale, you can't keep depending on these tools that hire just on personalities and not cognitive performance as well.
The TA-12 System digs deeper. It measures both personality and cognitive traits so you’re not just hiring someone who seems like a fit—you’re hiring someone who’s actually equipped to win in the role.
Right from the application, candidates are scored against a role-specific avatar built from your actual job description. The system flags each one green (interview), yellow (maybe), or red (pass), so you don’t waste time guessing who might work out.
Our clients say it cuts their hiring time by 80%—and more importantly, it helps them finally hire people who stick, perform, and take ownership from day one.
And we don’t stop at the hire... TA-12 becomes your playbook after they join the team.
Each candidate’s report breaks down how they think, communicate, and make decisions—so once they’re hired, you’re not starting from scratch. You know how to lead them, how to train them, and how to get the best out of them from day one.
It’s like having a user manual for each team member—no more one-size-fits-all management or trying to guess what makes someone tick.
Because getting the right person in the door is only half the battle. Keeping them aligned, engaged, and performing? That’s where most companies drop the ball—and exactly where TA-12 keeps you ahead.

Here’s What Happens When You Hire the Right People with TA‑12
Tom Rauen
"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."
Dwight Harrison
"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."
Alex Gerhart
"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."
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from traditional interviewing?
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.
Does Team Architects interview candidates for me and my business?
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.
How much time and money will this save me?
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.
What if I've made several bad hires already?
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.
What roles do you have profiles for? I'm looking to fill a few key positions in my company.
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.
Will this help with onboarding new employees?
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.
How does this help with retention?
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.
How long until I see results?
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.
