Hire the one you're sure of.

Most companies hire against a basic job description, then settle on a candidate they're not sure of. We define the seat first, then find the person who fits it.

Most searches start in one of three places.

A seat has sat open too long.

You've tried internally, and the right person hasn't appeared.

You're growing.

A new site, lane or customer needs experienced people who can build.

Your recruiters are stuck.

We work alongside your internal team on the seats it can't reach.

Who you work with

“An unqualified candidate isn't a placement. It's a delay with a fee.”

I started HartFelt Careers after watching agencies send candidates they knew weren't qualified, just to keep a fee in motion. We do it the opposite way: every candidate we submit has been interviewed against the role you designed with us. The person you talk to on the first call is the one who runs the search.
