Guided by you
You or someone in your team guides the talent. We train them and stay close. This costs less. It fits when you already have someone who knows the work and has time to pass it on.
FOR CLIENTS
Young talent that grows into your team.
You want young people in your company. They bring the new tools and a fresh look at how you work. They keep your company young, and they keep it new.
But you do not have a year to train them. Or the budget for a senior.
At Rising you work with young talent trained on the real work. For every budget, also when you are small or just starting. You grow together.
One conversation. No pitch, no deck.
Who guides the talent? You choose.
Every Rising Giants learns from someone who has done the work. That can be a Rooted Giant. Or it can be you.
Guided by a Rooted Giant
An experienced professional from Rooted Giants guides the talent on your work, every week. You get the speed of a senior next to the energy of a starter. Costs a little more.
The training. Who pays, and what it gives you.
Every riser keeps learning while they work. Someone pays for that training.
Built into the track
The Rising Giant works as a freelancer on a track rate while they learn, and the training is part of that track. Never an upfront fee, never a loan. You pay for the work. No debt for them, lower cost for you.
You pay
You pay for the training. After the track the talent can join your team, with no take-over fee. You trained them, they can stay.
Lower rates than a senior. A solution for every budget. What it costs depends on who guides and who pays the training. You hear it in the first conversation.
FOR CLIENTS
The world moves fast. Your team feels it.
You see it every day. AI is rewriting the work, and the people you have are already full. It is not a talent problem. It is a speed problem.
We solve it at the source.
We train the next generation on real projects, inside eight years of proven methodology, before they ever reach you.
What you get:
- Talent pretrained on the real work. No year of warming up. They fly out of the starting blocks and help you integrate AI, Tech, Brand, Data, Marketing and conversion at pace.
- Talent that works as a freelancer. Every riser is an independent freelancer on your work, guided by a Rooted Giant or by you. After the track you can hire them yourself.
- Coaching that does not stop when the work starts. We keep coaching the riser while they work for you, so they keep growing and they stay.
- A pipeline instead of loose searches. A steady flow of young freelancers, instead of fighting every vacancy from scratch.
And you invest in more than an assignment. Your money trains the next generation. That is a story your own employer brand can carry.
First we listen. Then we match.
We do not send you a pile of CVs. We look for the one who fits.
01
The conversation
You tell us what has to happen and what you can spend. We ask what sits behind it. Half an hour, no script.
02
The match
We pick a riser who fits the work and your team. We agree who guides and who pays the training.
03
The work
The Rising Giant starts on real work. They learn, you get output, we stay close. After the track you and the riser decide: they join your team, or they rise elsewhere.
Four generations. One room.
Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z. They sit in the same company and still miss each other. The oldest carry the mileage. The youngest carry the new tools. Between them, the work leaks speed.
So we built the one programme where both doors open into the same room. Your team and our risers, working together on how each generation thinks, what it needs and what it brings. The young learn how experience decides. The experienced learn how the new generation builds.
You book it for your team. Our risers join the room. Everyone leaves stronger.
A workforce that spans generations can lift GDP per head by 19 percent over 30 years. OECD, 2020.
Who holds the field.
Jeffrey Hamelink
Jeffrey Hamelink started in leadership at 17. At 24 he joined Coolblue and sat across from Microsoft, HP and Apple. The owners gave him room to grow and to make mistakes. His potential got ignited before he saw it himself. That is what he passes on now. His second company became Small Giants: 10 Mio+, 50 FTE, 250+ companies helped, and a leadership team that runs it without him. For now Jeffrey runs Rising. Your first conversation is with him.
The next generation is ready to learn. You decide how they grow with you.
