We’re deep in a search for a ‘Purple Squirrel’ … a very specific technical position, that requires a certain type of commercial skill, from a certain type of company, in a remote location, with a very specific degree requirement ….. etc.

We’ve worked on ‘Purple Squirrel’ searches before.

But this search is so unique, that it’s a ‘Purple Squirrel with Pink Paws’ … truly one of a kind.

We found THE candidate! Vetted them. Introduced them to the client.

Some time passed …. the candidate ‘fell off’.

Through some excellent recruiting and influence … we were able to get them back into the boat (12 – 15 conversations, emails, text messages, days passed …. hard, skillful work).

Now, the candidate is interviewing, and things are progressing.

It’s too early to tell if this one will go through to placement … but the fact we were able to find this person, and then get this person back into the process is the reason why a great third party recruiting partner is invaluable

Just as is a great physician, attorney, real estate agent, insurance broker, etc. … anyone who delivers White Glove Service.


No better feeling than to be part of a team, that helps our clients build their teams.

53-71, sunshine.

Make it a great day, everyone!
