I’m a “Head-Hunter”.

I specialize in recruiting for technology startups.

I am a generalist - I handle positions at all levels and in any department.

The hiring company pays my fee (not the job-seeker).

I work on Contingency (“contingency” means that the hiring company does not owe me a fee until a person I have presented to them for consideration has accepted an offer of employment and has started work)

* Executive and technical contingency recruiting for small technology firms since 1995

* I handle positions at all levels:
“C” level - VP - Director - Manager - Individual Contributor ("Techie")

* Departments:
Engineering, Software, I.T./I.S., QA, Web, Marketing, Sales, Business Development, Finance, Project / Program Mgmt, Operations, H.R., Professional Services, Legal, etc.

WHY YOU SHOULD WORK WITH ME:

1) Customer service
"Old-fashioned good manners"

2) Focus on Quality
When I do a search, I look for the whole package: smart, talented, energetic, articulate, productive, motivated

3) High Quality match = reduced turnover
My approach directly impacts the bottom line, as high quality matches between company and candidate greatly reduce turnover rates.

4) No Pressure
My pressure-free approach gives the company and the candidate breathing room so each party can see if the 'chemistry' is right.

5) Competitive fees
I charge 8% (rather than the standard 20-30% that most other search firms charge) and I make it up in volume over time.

(case in point, I've placed over 110 people since Sept. 2000 at client)
