Our Team

About Us


Our 25+ years of diverse and executive-level experience in Talent Acquisition & Management spans a variety of industries including creative, technical, manufacturing, professional services, municipal, non-profit and beyond.

Our team reflects that diversity in perspective... but each of us reached the same conclusions on our own:

There has to be a better, more durable and systematic way of identifying, engaging, and hiring top talent.

We need to think about recruiting as a marketing exercise because candidates are consumers.

The greatest factor in achieving corporate success will actually be winning the war for great talent.
