Your kid is about to make a $200,000 decision. Do they know anything about themselves?
My Signal Path is a 20-minute AI interview that identifies the specific environment where your student is wired to thrive — before they commit to a school, a major, or a path. One interview. One instant report. $59.

A real map of how they're wired.
"It pinpointed for him that he could fall into a path of sticking with 'good enough' — and then a year has passed and he still doesn't feel fulfilled. I've been trying to put that into words for a while to tell him."
Everyone helps your child get in. Nobody helps them figure out where they'll actually thrive.
They pick a major because it sounds practical. They choose a school because their friend is going. They commit to a direction before they have any understanding of how they actually think, work, or create value.
I've watched this play out time and time again from the other end. Smart, capable people sitting across my desk at 28, 34, 42 — starting over because nobody helped them understand how they were wired before they started making decisions.
Today's students are under pressure to decide early.
My Signal Path is the step that should come first.
One interview. One instant report. One complete map of how they're wired.
Take the Interview
12 open-ended questions designed the way I've run my best professional interviews for three decades. The interview adapts in real time, follows up on the interesting threads, and surfaces patterns your kid has never been able to see in themselves.

What Your Family Gets
A report this specific doesn't exist anywhere else. Every Signal Snapshot is built from scratch from your student's own words.
This isn't for them. It's for you.
Your kid didn't find this website. You did. Because you're the one lying awake thinking about whether they're going to pick the right school, the right major, the right path — or whether they're going to drift into something that doesn't fit and spend years figuring out what you already sense: they don't really know themselves well enough to make this decision yet.
You've tried talking to them about it. They shrug. They say "I don't know" or "I'll figure it out." And you know that "figuring it out" means four years and $200,000 of trial and error.
Your kid spends 20 minutes answering questions nobody has ever asked them before. They get an instant report that makes them say "How did it know that about me?" — built entirely from their own words, by an AI trained on 30 years of recruiter pattern recognition. Both the Tyler and Danielle case studies were produced this way. No human review. Just the interview and the snapshot. Read them and decide for yourself.
The most useful thing you can give them before they make decisions that are hard to undo.
You wouldn't invest $200,000 in a company without doing due diligence. Why would you invest $200,000 in your kid's education without understanding how they're wired?The Signal Path Thesis

Who is Brian Hughes?
Nearly 30 years as a professional recruiter. Thousands of interviews. Hundreds of placements. Founded Great Bay Staffing Group in 2008. Father of three high schoolers in New Hampshire.
I built Signal Path because the same pattern kept appearing in my recruiting work: smart people making expensive career mistakes because nobody helped them understand how they were wired before the decisions started. The interview methodology is built from 30 years of reading people for a living. The AI does the work. The results speak for themselves — read Tyler's story or Danielle's story to see what the interview surfaces without any human involvement.
