We work with Agency Recruiters, Independent Headhunters, and Search Firm Owners from start-up through scale-up to niche domination.

If you are starting a brand-new practice, moving from a contingency model to a retained one, trying to scale-up an existing practice, or just need to revitalize your marketing systems and upgrade your existing staffโ€™s sales skills, we can help you.

After close to two decades years in the search business,I created The Digital Headhunter to help recruiters and firm owners compete (and win) against the big-name brands.

Our method has been deployed in 400+ recruitment firms all over the world, including our own firm. In short, we practice what we preach, and we've built a grass-roots community of thousands of independent headhunters and search firms all over the globe, in the United States, Canada, The United Kingdom, France, Germany, South Africa, Singapore, Japan, and Australia.

A business thatโ€™s sustainable, scalable, with rock-solid foundations and is market-proofed from any economic collapse.

...and if you want to scale, being the search firm of choice for top recruiters who want to plug into your system.

But we won't feed you lines about a "flood of inbound clients," or "no more cold-calls ever," or "clients on demand!"

We think that's BS too...

Let your competitors take the lazy road.

The greats know the path to excellence is through the fire.

If that's you, and you're built for speed, then you're our people. If not, we can refer you to some other agencies that may be a better fit.
