People decisions you can't afford to get wrong.
We help founders and PE-backed operators get people decisions right the first time.
Three ways of working
AI-native talent tech stack
We rebuild your talent systems with AI. This makes hiring faster, cuts risk, and keeps compliance from depending on someone's memory.
Fractional talent leadership
A Head of Talent runs your talent function for a set time. It starts with Eryn and grows into a small team of trusted operators.
Board and executive search
We search for the few roles that can change your company's future.
Judgment in the room, not a sales pitch
Footprint uses AI better than most firms in this field. We reach for it whenever it makes the work faster or sharper for you. But AI is one tool, not the only one. We've run talent teams with too few people and a board that wants results now. That's the lens we bring to every project.
We're known for good judgment. Eryn ran her own search firm for eight years. Then she spent eight more years inside PE-backed companies, building their talent teams from scratch. Bring us a problem, and we'll tell you how we'd solve it — not just write you a proposal.
