Argyll & Co.

Since venture capital firms, talent search companies or traditional human resources departments generally do not have human diagnostic experts on staff, the smart ones retain us to provide cognitive data, beyond [the invisible biases factored into] the time honored “smell test.” Our algorithms and methods are based on a cache of data collected over six decades by our partners at Birkman International and a strange brotherhood of geeks, shrinks, nerds and suits ranging from: software engineers, statisticians, behavioral economists, consultants and business school professors to help our clients to see well beyond powerful resumes and confident interviews. Metrics provide an unbiased (no BS) view of the candidate's true "internal operating system" and work-style preferences. We help managers and teammates to use this information to make real game changing decisions. Argyll & Co. is a privately held Cognitive Matching Consultancy, which operates very discreetly within other firms & organizations; our forte is talent strategy for executive search firms, venture capital deals and within merchant families. To ensure the confidentiality of all our clients and engagements. We do not work with any marketing or other third party sales organizations.
