About SeekBuild
A note from Stephen Daniel, Founder
I spent years evaluating people for a living, and since 2015 I have spent as much time helping managers work through the problems that arrive after the hire. What both taught me is that most of what goes wrong inside a company is already obvious to the people doing the work, and almost never obvious from the top.
So SeekBuild does the unglamorous part. We sit down with your people one at a time, we record the conversations, and we turn what we hear into a picture you can act on. Not a survey score. Findings we can trace back to the conversation they came from, ordered by how many unrelated people raised the same thing.
What happens next depends on what we find. Sometimes it is articulating values nobody ever wrote down. Sometimes it is crystallizing the direction you're heading. Sometimes it is one leader who needed to see themselves clearly, which is what the leadership cohort is for. We build what the evidence says you need, and we build it to keep running after we are gone.
If something in your company feels off and you cannot quite name it, that is the conversation I want to have.
Stephen Daniel, Founder & CEO
How we work
We listen before we recommend.
Nothing gets proposed that did not come out of the conversations. We do not arrive with a framework and look for places to apply it.
We show our work.
Every finding traces back to something a person actually said, and we can point to it. Findings are ordered by how many unrelated people raised them, not by who said it loudest.
We build it to run without us.
The measure of the work is whether it holds after we leave. That means your people own the rhythms, not us.
The people behind SeekBuild.
Stephen Daniel
Founder & CEO
Stephen's work sits where people and process meet: talent acquisition, manager coaching, and people process implementation. He built SeekBuild's method so that what a leadership team acts on comes from what their own people said, rather than from whoever was most persuasive in the room.
He also runs the Evidence-Based Leadership Cohort, where a small group of leaders works through that same evidence-first approach on themselves.
Kristy Nuckolls
People Strategy Consultant
Kristy helps leaders make better people decisions. Through team development, leadership support, and the MAP Assessment, she helps organizations understand individual strengths, motivations, communication styles, and team dynamics so performance becomes more consistent and less reactive.
While much of her work begins with people, it often extends into the systems and processes that support them. Kristy builds practical HR and operating frameworks that improve consistency, strengthen accountability, and support sustainable growth.
Her approach combines insight into human behavior with practical implementation, helping organizations translate good intentions into leader-usable tools and lasting results.
Kristy brought structure, clarity, and efficiency to our HR processes. The improvements made a meaningful difference for both our leadership team and employees.
Steven Havely
Chief Technology Officer
Steven builds the technology that strips away the administrative monotony, so leaders can spend their attention on the people decisions only they can make.
He is the reason we can bring assessment results together with what people tell us in the diagnostic as quickly as we do.
