What We Look For
We hire the way Microsoft hired.
We're a small team, so every hire matters. The competencies above aren't aspirational. They're the same attributes Microsoft used to evaluate, develop, and promote its best people for decades. We look for people who already operate this way.
Our Culture
The culture here comes from the same place the competencies do: 18 years inside a company that expected intellectual honesty, rewarded results over activity, and promoted people who made the team better.
We operate with zero layers between the work and the decision. No committees. No consensus theater. If you have the data and the conviction, you make the call. If you're wrong, you own it, fix it, and move on.
We are direct with each other. Feedback is immediate, specific, and never personal. The goal is never to be right. The goal is to get it right.
We measure everything that matters and nothing that doesn't. Vanity metrics, activity reports, and status updates for the sake of status updates don't exist here. Results do.
We treat client problems as our problems. Not "we'll get back to you" problems. Not "that's outside our scope" problems. If a client is stuck, we are stuck, and we don't go home until it's solved.
We hire slowly, trust completely, and never micromanage. If you need someone looking over your shoulder, this isn't the place. If you thrive with autonomy, accountability, and the freedom to do your best work, it is.
Our Philosophy
The values that drive The Brushton Group didn't start in a boardroom. They started generations ago.
"The difference between stumbling blocks and stepping stones is the way you use them."
— Matthew O'Connor, Brendan's great-grandfather
That conviction, that obstacles are simply raw material for progress, has shaped how we work, how we hire, and how we deliver for clients. It's the same philosophy that built some of the most enduring technology companies in the world.
"We are patient and relentless. We keep working and investing and listening to our customers and improving our products. We never give up on good ideas."
— Bill Gates
"We're going to bet on our long term. We don't do things for the short term. And if we don't at first succeed, we keep trying. Leaders have to set the tone that says, 'We'll be patient.'"
— Steve Ballmer
Patience. Tenacity. A long view. These aren't slogans. They're how we operate, how we think about client engagements, and how we expect every member of this team to show up.
Current Openings
There are no open positions at this time.
When we hire, we hire for the competencies above. If you believe you belong here, the best time to make your case is before we post a role.
We're selective by design.
Engagements are lean and standards are high. When the right opportunity creates the need, we know exactly who we want. If you think that's you, make the case.
