People-First Leadership. Built Into Everything We Do.
Founder Story
Built by a Leader Who Has Been on Both Sides.
TAC Workforce Solutions was founded by Kim Eckels — a business leader with over a decade of experience building, managing, and developing high-performing teams across marketing operations, contact centers, and human resources functions.
Kim holds a Master of Science in Management and Leadership and a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Human Resources Management. Her academic foundation combined with real-world leadership experience in small, midsize and enterprise corporations gives TAC a perspective that most workforce solutions companies simply don't have — the view from inside the organizations she now serves.
But TAC wasn't built from a boardroom. It was built from a deeply held belief that the way most companies hire and develop people is broken — and that fixing it requires tools that are smarter, fairer, and more human than what currently exists in the market.
That belief didn't come from a textbook. It came from years of leading teams, navigating workplace culture firsthand, and understanding that the right person in the right role — supported by a culture worth staying in — changes everything for a business and for the individual sitting in that seat.
Why TAC Exists
Most behavioral assessment tools were built for enterprise companies with dedicated HR departments and six-figure budgets. Small and mid-size businesses — the ones making hiring decisions on gut instinct and resume stacks — were left to figure it out on their own.
At the same time, the individuals navigating those hiring processes — candidates from every background, every education level, every industry — were being evaluated by tools that weren't designed with them in mind. Tools that assumed a certain vocabulary, a certain cultural familiarity, a certain kind of polish that not everyone has been given equal access to.
TAC was built to solve both problems simultaneously.
For businesses — affordable, accurate, actionable behavioral insight that levels the playing field between small companies and enterprise competitors.
For individuals — a fair assessment experience that reflects who they actually are, regardless of where they came from or how they were educated.
That dual commitment is not a marketing position. It is the foundation every product decision is built on.
How We Lead
TAC's approach to workforce solutions is a direct reflection of the leadership philosophy its founder has practiced for over a decade.
Compassion over intimidation. Accountability without shame. Honest feedback delivered with genuine care for the person receiving it. The belief that every individual — regardless of their current title, their background, or the opportunities they've been given — carries potential worth developing.
That philosophy shows up in how TAC assessments are designed. Questions reviewed for cultural bias. Plain language available for every candidate. A personal Growth Profile delivered to every individual who completes an assessment — because they deserve to know what their results reveal about them, not just the company that hired TAC to evaluate them.
We believe the workforce gets better when people are in the right seats. We believe cultures get healthier when leaders have honest data rather than gut instinct. And we believe that a fair hiring process — one that gives every candidate a genuine shot at being seen accurately — is not just the ethical choice. It is the smart business choice.
