Hiring senior HR talent is harder than it looks. The role is part strategy, part operations, part culture-keeper — and the candidate market is full of people who can talk the role without delivering it. We place HR leaders who can do both.
Roles we place
We work across all levels — from specialist and hourly roles up through C-suite leadership. Direct hire, contract, contract-to-hire, and project staffing.

Our approach to HR searches
We brief deeply on the team an HR leader is joining — its size, its growing pains, its political dynamics. A CHRO walking into a hypergrowth scaleup needs a different profile than one stabilizing a post-merger integration. We calibrate the search to the actual job, not the title on the org chart.
Every candidate we present has gone through our STEAM evaluation — seen three times by our team, tested for cognitive and personality fit, evaluated on video, accountable through a single recruiter, and measured against a 90-day placement guarantee. We do this same work on every search; the depth is built in.
Industries we serve
- Growth-stage technology
- Financial services
- Manufacturing
- Healthcare services
- Professional services
If your industry isn’t listed, that’s not a deal-breaker. Reach out and we’ll tell you honestly whether our network is a fit for what you’re building.
What makes our human resources searches different
We backchannel every HR candidate through their actual peers — not the references they hand us. HR is the function most often hired on charisma; we’re structurally allergic to that.
We also operate on a 24-hour response standard — every status update, every piece of candidate feedback, within one business day. If a search isn’t making daily progress, you’ll hear from us about why.
Engagement models
We work across three engagement structures, depending on the role and the urgency:
- Direct hire. Permanent placements with a 90-day replacement guarantee. Most senior human resources searches run this way.
- Contract / contract-to-hire. For roles bridging headcount approvals, project work, or de-risked senior hires.
- Project staffing. Fixed-duration engagements for system implementations, M&A diligence, audits, and major initiatives.
Have a human resources search you’d like to discuss? Start the conversation. We respond within 24 hours.
