What We're Looking For

7+ years of recruiting experience with a meaningful portion focused on executive and senior leadership searches
Track record closing high-caliber candidates at the VP level and above in competitive markets
Deep network across at least one or two functional areas — engineering, product, finance, or operations
High judgment — you quickly distinguish signal from noise and know how to assess leaders, not just candidates
Polished, confident communicator comfortable engaging with founders, board members, and senior executives
Discretion and professionalism as a default — you handle sensitive searches without leaking signal
Ability to operate independently with minimal structure in a fast-moving environment
