What We Do
AI Strategy & Implementation
We help staffing firms identify, build, and deploy AI solutions that improve performance across recruiting, sales, and operations — turning emerging technology into measurable competitive advantage.
Strategic Growth Advisory
We embed with ownership and leadership teams to diagnose what's limiting growth, build the right strategy, and implement the operational systems needed to scale with clarity and confidence.
Workforce Performance Systems
We build the frameworks, training architectures, and performance systems that turn recruiting and sales teams into consistent, high-output producers — with measurable results from day one.
Proprietary Platform Development
SBG designs and builds technology platforms purpose-built for the staffing industry, including Drivio and Orbis — giving firms tools their competitors don't have and can't easily replicate, resulting in an escape from the commodity trap.
Private Equity & M&A Advisory
We partner with staffing firms to accelerate performance, support acquisitions and integrations, and build the operational infrastructure required to scale toward a successful exit or PE backing.
Technology-Enabled Transformation
We help staffing firms modernize how they operate — replacing outdated processes with AI-assisted workflows, smarter data, and scalable systems built for the way the industry works today.
Why SBG Consulting
We've Run Staffing Companies
We don't advise from the outside. Our team has built, scaled, and operated staffing firms — which means we understand your business from the inside and know exactly what good looks like.
We Build the AI. We Don't Just Talk About It.
SBG develops proprietary AI platforms for the staffing industry. Drivio and Orbis aren't third-party tools we recommend — they're products we built, which means our advisory is backed by real technology depth.
Trusted by PE-Backed Firms
We understand the expectations of private equity — measurable outcomes, operational clarity, and systems built to scale. Our engagements are structured to deliver results that satisfy both operators and investors.
Senior Experts. Every Engagement.
When you work with SBG, Scott Fleckenstein and Dr. Matt Kolinski are in the room. You get 25+ years of staffing industry expertise directly — not a junior team running someone else's playbook.
Proven Frameworks That Actually Work
Our ALIGN, RISE, and AIM frameworks have been developed and refined through real engagements — giving staffing firms repeatable systems for growth, recruiter development, and operational performance.
Boutique by Design. Senior by Default.
SBG is intentionally small and selective. Every client gets our full attention, direct access to senior consultants, and an engagement built around their specific business — not a repackaged generic framework.
