What G2 Solutions does

G2 Solutions is a privately-held, founder-led technology talent recruiting and consulting firm based in Raleigh, North Carolina, operating with a 12-person team. Founded by Mike Strickland (Chief Talent Officer), the firm targets high-growth companies, visionary technology leaders, and hiring managers seeking senior talent in Software Engineering, Cybersecurity, Data Science, and Cloud/Infrastructure. Its go-to-market is sales-led, delivered through three website pathways: client services for direct hires, consulting services for project staffing, and candidate services for job seekers, with founder-direct consultation booking as a deliberate relationship-building channel.

The firm's core product is the G2 Intelligent Delivery System (G2 IDS), a proprietary 8-step methodology — Discovery, Data Mapping, Engagement, The Sieve, The Interview, Delivery, Onboarding, and Retention — built around a DNA Scorecard of top-performer traits and a 7-factor evidence-based assessment that filters out the bottom 90% of candidates. Retention is supported through a structured 12-month milestone check-in program. Alongside recruiting, G2 Solutions sells a parallel consulting services line covering Modern Data Architecture, Cloud Governance, Data Warehousing, Azure Implementation, Enterprise Consulting, and Cyber Security/IAM, positioning the firm for project-based delivery beyond pure placement.

G2 Solutions generates revenue through professional services fees from direct-hire placements and project-based consulting engagements, operating on a quote-based, bespoke pricing model with no publicly disclosed rates. The company is founder-owned with no institutional investors, no parent company, no disclosed funding, and no disclosed customer logos; all distribution is U.S.-only via direct website engagement and founder-led outreach.
