Start a Training Project Conversation

Whether you need a single chapter reviewed, a full test bank developed, or ongoing SME support for an industrial training program — start here. The more context you can give about the project, the faster we can confirm fit and get to work.

Typical response within one business day. Most projects begin with a short scoping call to define deliverables and timeline before any commitment on either side.

How Projects Start

01

Response within one business day

You'll hear from Griffin directly — not a project manager or intake coordinator. If there are clarifying questions about scope or fit, they get asked upfront.

02

Brief scoping conversation

Most projects benefit from a 20–30 minute call to confirm the deliverables, format requirements, timeline, and any style guides or templates you use. No commitment required at this stage.

03

Proposal or direct agreement

Depending on scope, either a short written proposal or a direct agreement — clear deliverables, timeline, and rate. No vague retainers or undefined scope.

04

Delivery

Work delivered on schedule, formatted to your specifications. Technical accuracy backed by real floor experience — not just standard familiarity.

Submit a Job Specification

Tell us what you're looking for. The more specific you are about the role, the shop environment, and any non-negotiable skills, the better the profile we can deliver.

Profiles delivered within 5–10 business days. Expedited available (2–3 days) — note it in your message. Payment discussed after we confirm we have a fit in the pool.

After You Submit

01

Same-day acknowledgment

You'll hear from Griffin directly — not an automated confirmation — to confirm we received your spec and discuss any clarifying questions.

02

Pool match or fresh sourcing

We check the existing talent pool first. If we have a match, we move immediately. If not, we'll tell you and begin targeted sourcing — timeline may extend slightly.

03

Profile delivery

Within 5–10 business days (2–3 for expedited), you receive a complete Talent Readiness Profile — assessment results, competency scores, readiness rating, and practical notes.

04

You take it from there

Contact the candidate directly, schedule your own interviews, and handle all employment paperwork. We are not involved in the hiring relationship.

Prefer to call or email directly? That works too.

Join the Talent Pool

No fees. No catch. You complete our technical assessment, I personally review it against real shop floor standards, and if you meet the threshold, your validated profile enters our pool and gets matched to manufacturer openings as they come in.

You stay in the pool until matched. You'll hear from us when there's a real opportunity — not generic job board noise.

How It Works for You

01

We follow up directly

Griffin reaches out to discuss your background and walk you through the assessment process. No automated intake — a real conversation.

02

Complete the technical assessment

Online evaluation covering your trade's core competencies — welding processes, machining, safety, blueprints, quality standards. Practical components arranged where needed.

03

Personal review by a practitioner

Every result is reviewed and scored by Griffin — a CAWI with 10+ years on the shop floor — against real production standards. Not a software algorithm.

04

Matched to real opportunities

Approved candidates enter the talent pool and get matched to manufacturer requests as they come in. You'll hear from us when there's a real fit — not just noise.

You are never charged anything. Candidates pay nothing to apply, complete the assessment, or be matched to opportunities. The manufacturer pays for the profile — not you.

Get in Touch

Whether you have a training project in mind, a consulting question, or just want a straight read on something — start with a conversation. Most engagements begin informally and define scope from there.

Based in Western New York. Serving clients locally and remotely across the United States.

How Engagements Start

01

Initial Conversation

Tell us what you're dealing with. No lengthy intake process — just a direct conversation about what you need and what you're trying to solve.

02

Scope Definition

We define the work clearly — what gets delivered, what it costs, and what the timeline looks like. No vague retainers or open-ended engagements without defined deliverables.

03

Delivery

Fast turnaround. Clear deliverables. Work that actually gets used — not filed away because it doesn't reflect how things really run.
