About

Most searches don't stall because of a talent shortage. They stall because something in the middle got unclear — the role definition, the communication, the alignment between what the company needs and what the candidate is actually hearing. I've spent 10+ years in recruiting across healthcare, skilled trades, construction, logistics, supply chain, and operations. What I've learned is that the best hires don't come from moving faster. They come from slowing down long enough to get honest on both sides. That's what Relationship First Recruiting is built around — not just filling roles, but making sure the right conversations are happening early enough to matter. I work best when both sides are invested in the relationship — not just the outcome. If you're navigating a hard-to-fill search or want to think through what's getting in the way, feel free to reach out.
