I worked for a large corporation when I moved to South Carolina in 2010. I called up to “corporate” one day to ask for a few hundred dollars to sponsor an event for a local non-profit.

“Matt, we just don’t get involved at the local level.”

I remember this conversation as clear as day. My family and I were putting down roots in South Carolina and wanted to be a part of the community. For us, this meant supporting the causes we care about and being a part of a company that cared about our community. 

When I couldn’t find a company in my industry that aligned with these goals, we created our own. 

We give away 5 percent of our company to local charities. That includes three percent of all revenue, one percent of our product, and one percent of our time volunteering (come serve with us!).

We grew frustrated with how digital marketing agencies treated us and their ability to produce results. We built our own process, 10xed our leads, and started replicating the process for others. Small business marketing simplified.

I was so proud when my company finally grew enough to offer health insurance to my team. I thought I was being a great employer.

Then one of my employees told me bluntly: "It would be more expensive and worse coverage for me to use our plans."

That stung. But what really opened my eyes was talking to one of our clients who was trying to recruit against companies like Facebook. They were showing potential hires age-banded plans and getting beat every single time.

I realized this wasn't just my problem - small businesses across South Carolina were losing the talent war because of benefits.

I knew you couldn't have a PEO in South Carolina without Blue Cross. In our state, they're the only carrier that matters. So I didn't just find a solution, I built one.

It wasn't easy. Blue Cross has strict size requirements and won't work with just any agent. But I was determined to give small businesses the same buying power as Fortune 500 companies.

Today, we've helped hundreds of South Carolina businesses compete for top talent, saving an average of $50K annually. 

Our biggest win? 

A 21-employee nonprofit that we saved $120K per year - money they used to hire a new teammate to grow their mission instead of padding insurance company profits.

If you're tired of losing talent because your benefits can't compete with big corporations, or you're spending too much on insurance that your employees don't even value, let's talk.

Every dollar you save on benefits is a dollar you can invest back into growing your business and taking care of your team the way they deserve.

Matson Madrid Consulting

Talent Management consulting, guidance, and solutions for organizations who want to win the battle for talent.

The "battle for talent" is not about recruiting or hiring the purple unicorn candidate. 

The "battle for talent" is how a firm optimizes its people processes. It's how a firm plans for future workforce needs. It's how a firm retains the key employees - while developing even more of these type employees.

Founder

Capgemini

In leadership at Capgemini I engaged with our talent for the entire people lifecycle. 

Recruiting. Hiring. Onboarding. Training. Developing. Managing. Leading. 

As the People Lead for some of our key Practices, I established a community of People Managers to improve the employee experience for over 500 associates in North America. The People Managers grew in skill and scale through a supportive network and improved processes. 

My experience with talent development opened the door to being the Program Manager for our North America Campus hire (Nurture) program – chartered to grow our Next Generation Talent across Financial Services. The program became a scalable, repeatable early career professional academy. We used a process-based approach and leveraged all aspects of the talent management lifecycle.

Senior Director

TCube Solutions

People and Process became my full-time job in this role. Building on 20 years of people leadership and process implementation/improvement, I led our resource (talent) teams. We implemented a standard performance management process, performance improvement plans, individual goal and objective setting, internship-to-FTE processes. These skills and experiences enabled our successful talent growth, resulting in a talent workforce that not only executed at the top of their game, but became very attractive to the industry market. TCube Solutions was acquired by Capgemini in March 2017.
