Three operators who spent their careers on the hiring side.
ATLAS Workforce is being built by people who made the screening decisions this platform is designed to fix. We know exactly how the guess gets made, because we made it a few thousand times.
ATLAS Operations Group LLC.
Houston, Texas. Three founders, each carrying a defined lane.
Anthony Harris
Thirteen years on the hiring side of a Fortune-ranked manufacturer, most recently leading process improvement and training. MBA, MHA, Lean Six Sigma Black Belt. Founder of Legacy Careers LLC, where 2,500 placements and an 87 percent placement rate produced the methodology underneath this platform.
Owns: product, process design, assessment architecture, compliance, and the CareerBridge channel.
Maggie Baird
Enterprise sales and partnership leadership. Builds the pipeline into HR and CHRO buyers, negotiates the contracts, and runs the beta employer cohort that calibrates every benchmark on the platform.
Owns: enterprise sales, pricing, partnerships, and beta employer recruitment.
Carly Baird
Operations leadership and delivery planning. Runs onboarding, vendor and contractor management, financial controls, and the customer success standard that keeps a pilot from quietly stalling in week three.
Owns: delivery operations, vendor management, financial controls, and customer success.
We are not guessing at the problem. We caused it.
Anthony spent thirteen years reading resumes and deciding who moved forward. That is roughly 2,500 decisions made on a document nobody verified, under time pressure, with a hiring manager waiting.
The failure mode is not laziness. It is that no tool existed to check the claim before the interview, so everyone learned to interview more people instead. ATLAS exists because the check is now cheap and the guess never was.
Legacy Careers LLC has spent the years since on the other side of the same problem, coaching candidates whose real ability never survived the screen. Both halves of that experience are in this product.
The resume is the only document in business we accept without verification, and we use it to make one of the most expensive decisions a company makes.
Anthony HarrisFounder and CEO, ATLAS WorkforceRevenue first. Platform second. On purpose.
We are not asking anyone to fund a science project. The sequence below is designed so the market pays for the build, and so the first employer contract matters more than the first line of code.
Phase 0 · Foundation
Entity, operating agreement, IP assignment, compliance counsel engaged, item bank specification for the first 20 modules. CareerBridge sold manually through the existing Legacy Careers delivery system. No platform required, so no platform spend.
Phase 1 · MVP to market
VerifyIQ with 20 validated modules. PeopleStack core. Cost-to-hire analytics. Resume parsing and LinkedIn import. SOC 2 readiness work begins. Target: the first ten paying employer accounts.
Phase 2 · Scale
AtlasMatch full release with ATS connectors. Modules 21 through 100 rolled out by department. SOC 2 Type II audit completed. Sales function hired against a repeatable motion, not a hope.
What we have not solved yet.
Every prototype flatters itself. Here is the part that does not.
- No engineer on the founding team yet. Three operators, zero people who write production code. Resolving that is the single highest priority.
- The item bank does not exist. Twenty validated modules is real work with an industrial and organizational psychologist, and it is the long pole in Phase 1.
- Benchmarks need a pool. Percentiles mean nothing until enough candidates have sat each module. The beta cohort exists to solve exactly this.
- Founders are part time today. That is workable through Phase 0 and it is not workable past it. Any institutional conversation starts with which founder goes full time.
If that list surprises you in a diligence meeting, we did something wrong. Better here.
Come look at the working parts.
The prototype is real, the delivery track record is real, and the gaps are written down. Whether you are an employer, an advisor or an investor, that is the conversation we want.
