Most hiring problems are not talent problems. They are structural ones.
Founders call us about a hire. What we usually find underneath: unclear roles, managers promoted without support, and a structure the business outgrew a year ago.
So we start with a diagnostic, not a job post. When hiring is the answer, we place the right person. When it isn't, we build the structure the team actually needs.
Three ways in.
Founder People Check
A short diagnostic that names your top bottlenecks — hiring, structure, managers, or founder dependency — and gives you one clear next step.
Start here →Hiring Clarity Sprint
One important role, done properly. Role definition, interview structure, shortlist support, and a steady hand through the offer.
Explore hiring support →Founder People Advisory
Monthly strategic support for the decisions that keep landing back on you — structure, managers, performance, and the next hire.
View advisory support →Ten minutes. A clear read on what is slowing your team.
The Founder People Check is a short, structured diagnostic. You answer honestly. We review it personally and tell you what is actually going on — no pitch.
Evidence, not promises.

Lainey Marindo
Founder & Workforce Advisor
Lainey spent seven years as a People and Culture leader at Bukhash Brothers — the company behind #ABtalks. She grew the team from 10 to 95 people across three entities, managed recruitment end-to-end, and built the people infrastructure from the ground up.
That experience gave her direct exposure to the realities of scaling a business: hiring at pace, building structure, supporting managers, and keeping the team aligned as the company grows. She has worked inside a fast-moving creative business and understands the operational and people-side demands that come with growth.
Paige and Purpose was created from that experience. It supports founder-led businesses with flat-fee talent placement and strategic workforce advisory — helping them hire well, strengthen structure, and build teams that can support growth.
"Structure isn't the opposite of culture. For a growing team, it's how you protect it."
