What you get from working with me.
30 years of experience.Thousands of relationships.
Those relationships are where your search starts. I have nearly 30,000 LinkedIn connections as of November 2026. Past candidates and hiring leaders still pick up when I call.
One person on your search
The person you talk to on the first call is the person who runs your search. That's me.
A shortlist I vetted myself
I read every résumé and talk with every candidate before you meet them. No AI screens, ranks or rejects anyone.
Tools built for your search
I build my own software. AI helps me define the role and map the market, so your search plan comes together sooner. If your role needs a tool of its own, I build one.
Quick answers
When you ask me something, you hear back from me quickly, and the answer is mine.
A straight read on every candidate
If someone isn't right for your team, I tell you why, even when it's a candidate I like.
Candidates who hear back
Everyone in your search gets a follow-up from me, whatever the outcome. A no gets an answer too.
Where I will push back.
A search goes better when you know my limits before we start. These are the ones that come up.
I won't contact candidates until we've written the bar together.
The screening questions and the definition of a strong answer come first. That takes time from your team at the start.
I won't judge technical depth for you.
I don't review code. I read for ownership and for how a person reasons. Your engineers judge technical depth against the criteria we agreed on.
I'll tell you when a candidate isn't right.
That includes candidates I like. You'll hear my reasons along with the answer.
I won't share a candidate's details without their yes.
I describe your role to the candidate first. Nothing about that person reaches you until they tell me to go ahead.
I won't oversell your role.
On your search I work for you. I still tell a candidate when the role isn't right for them.
If nobody gets through, I'll question the process.
We reconvene and look at the screen and the expectations, yours and mine. We also ask whether the process was fair to candidates.
So you knowI would rather lose a deal than make a bad match. My reputation depends on placements that last.
Tell me about the role.
A 30-minute conversation is enough to tell whether a search makes sense and which engagement type fits. You'll be talking with me. If I'm not the right person for your search, I'll tell you that on the call.
