The Team Photo Audit
Five checks to run on your company directory today. Two minutes, no signup. Give your team one point per check it passes.
The 3-second test
Open your team page and scroll at normal speed. Would you trust each face at feed-scroll distance? Recruiters and patients decide in about three seconds, before they read a word.
PASS: Every photo reads as confident and current while scrolling.
The match test
Pick any two teammates. Same light? Same background? Same retouch level? Mismatched photos read as a mismatched company.
PASS: Any two people, side by side, look like the same organization.
The vintage test
Count how many photos are older than two promotions, one haircut, or five years. Outdated photos quietly say "we do not update things here."
PASS: No photo older than roughly two years.
The surface test
Check one person across your website, LinkedIn, the badge, and the internal directory. Four surfaces, one photo? Or four different people?
PASS: One approved photo everywhere the person appears.
The new-hire test
What does someone get on day one? A scheduled photographer three months out, a hallway phone photo, or nothing at all?
PASS: A real headshot exists before the first all-hands.
Your score
5 / 5 · Rare. Your image system works. We mostly meet teams here after an acquisition doubles their headcount.
4 / 5 · Solid, with one leak. Fix the failing check before it spreads to the others.
3 or less · Your photos are costing you trust you never see: candidates who do not apply, patients and clients who pick someone else, a brand that looks different on every surface.
The fix is not a memo about photo guidelines. It is one pilot day: a self-service studio in your lobby, every headshot to one standard, the gallery delivered the same day.
