The Aldridge Group

What The Aldridge Group does

The Aldridge Group (TAG) is a privately held US-based talent management consulting firm organized around three service lines: Recruitment, Selection, and Development. Founded approximately in 1998 by John "Skip" H. Aldridge, Jr., Ph.D. and led today by CEO Casey C. Burns, the firm is headquartered in San Diego, California (820 Reed Avenue) while its copyright notice and founder base remain in Cleveland, Ohio, and it serves clients across all major US regions (Midwest, Southeast, Southwest, West Coast, Northeast, and Mid-Atlantic). Customer targeting is horizontal by company size, spanning Fortune 100 corporations seeking sophisticated high-potential identification and small-to-medium businesses seeking an alternative to traditional recruiting firms that typically charge 15-30% of first-year compensation. Industry exposure is similarly broad, including manufacturing, technology, finance, healthcare, government, and public safety.

The firm's core proprietary offering is the Job Fit Index™, a registered brand identity and algorithm that ranks candidates by fit-to-job by integrating cognitive measures with personality factors and leadership competencies, differentiating candidates who appear qualified from those statistically likely to excel. Job Fit Index is supported by an online assessment platform (tagassessments.thealdridgegroup.com) that administers a library of validated instruments including the 16PF, Hogan Assessments, MBTI, DiSC, EQ-I 2.0, 360-degree feedback, and interest inventories, with processes designed to comply with EEOC and OFCCP guidelines. The Selection practice combines these tools for hiring and promotion decisions; the Development practice adds executive and leadership coaching, 360-degree feedback, and one-on-one coaching delivered by a bench of ICF-credentialed (PCC/ACC) coaches.

The business model is B2B professional services with a sales-led go-to-market: engagements are direct-consulting, tailored to client needs, and priced on a project or retainer basis (no public pricing). Delivery combines a small core staff (11-50 employees) with a substantial network of independent contractor coaches and assessment consultants, enabling nationwide reach without proportional full-time headcount growth. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, no external funding rounds or M&A activity are present in the record, and ownership remains founder-controlled. Marketing relies on a content website, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and direct phone/email contact rather than paid acquisition or channel partnerships.
