She has staffed US companies from coast-to-coast with highly technical, successful and sought-after talent.

A retained search is an exclusive collaboration with your organization. We team up with management , human resources and members of engineering to do a deep dive into your company culture, tech stack, and operations. Together we identify exactly what kind of candidate will offer the most value and create a long lasting, positive impact for your organization.
Sometimes a long-term, full-time engineer is not what an organization needs. Instead, they may just need a highly qualified individual who can come in, work a little magic to clean up a project, or perhaps offer some needed guidance. We have a large resource of candidates who are specifically interested in short-term, contract opportunities.
We start by digging into our large database of candidates we have spoken with over the years and identify those that would be the best fit for your opportunity. We match them technically and geographically (if possible). If they are committed to projects they can’t leave, these same candidates often refer us to passive candidates whom they believe would be a strong technical match for your opportunity.
