When Ashley and I travel, we love staying at boutique hotels. There’s something special about them — the charm, the sense of place, the local ownership, the small touches that make a stay feel memorable. The food is often sourced nearby. The design reflects the region. The hospitality feels a little more human.

In a lot of ways, working with a boutique search firm isn’t so different.

Candidate vetting is one of the most under-appreciated and under-discussed skills in recruiting.

It’s not just about finding people—it’s about knowing how to qualify them for the right roles, in the right way, for the right clients.
