You’re making big decisions without a clear perspective
A reorg. A new hire. A team that’s starting to strain. You need strategic input, not just advice from inside the building.
You’re the COO. And the recruiter. And the coach. And more
You’re wearing too many hats. What you need is a partner who gets it and knows how to help.
You’ve worked with search firms before. It felt like a black box
You didn’t know where candidates came from. You weren’t sure who was doing the work. You felt like you were guessing at every step.
You got resumes, not context
You were handed a list and asked to decide. No insight. No alignment. Just more work on your plate.
The new hire looked great on paper. That’s where it ended
They checked every box. But the fit, the communication, the ability to lead through real challenges…it just wasn’t there.
Every hire feels like a fire drill
You’re always reacting. The role is urgent. The search is rushed. You feel like you’re choosing the best of what’s left.
There’s no pipeline. No plan. Just pressure
You know who you need today, but not who’s ready next. There’s no bench and no backup.
