Who We Are

Wildfire Group is a human systems and hiring risk advisory focused on how organizations scale hiring in an era of automation, AI, and increasing scrutiny.

We work with leadership teams to surface where hiring systems quietly accumulate legal, operational, and reputational risk as volume, tooling, and complexity increase. Our work provides clarity, control, and defensibility at moments when organizations can no longer afford ambiguity.

Wildfire operates at the intersection of operations, technology, and governance.

We provide structured visibility into hiring systems so leaders can act before risk becomes exposure.
