Networking Executives

The right connections. The right opportunities. The right time.

But how do you know where to be and when?

Networking Executives removes the guesswork by curating local, industry-specific events, so professionals spend less time searching and more time connecting.

Regional Recruiting Manager

Business is personal, and great recruiting goes beyond just filling roles.

It’s about understanding people, solving real-world problems, and building lasting relationships.

At Talent Executives, we help companies build exceptional teams through high-impact leadership searches and hard-to-fill niche roles.

As a trusted recruiting partner, we operate as an extension of our clients’ teams, delivering results with speed, clarity, and intention. Our approach is collaborative, transparent, and rooted in trust.

Clients and colleagues often describe our work as:

🔹Trusted partners who help companies hire with confidence
🔹Strategic and straightforward, yet grounded and approachable
🔹A partner who shows up, follows through, and delivers

That same philosophy drives Networking Executives, a curated platform helping professionals find and attend local, industry-specific events. 

It’s built around meaningful conversations, authentic connections, and the belief that showing up matters.

For companies and professionals who value heart, strategy, and results, this is where it all comes together.

Let’s build something great!

 Amy Sulgrove

In-Person Connection Hits Differently

The skyline was spectacular
But the story happening inside was even better.

Leadership isn’t about the view from the top.
It’s about the vision you share with the people beside you.

It’s amazing how much clarity comes from stepping into someone else’s world for a day.

A fantastic trip to NYC to visit a client
And a reminder of why in-person connection still matters.

Talent Executives Group

Hiring Leaders Who Elevate Culture and Performance 🔹 Executive and Leadership Search for Mid-Market and Enterprise Companies 🔹 Relationship-Led Recruiting With Transparent Metrics

In the last few weeks, I’ve attended more networking events than I can count.

But here’s the truth:

Networking isn’t about how many people you meet. 

It’s about how many meaningful conversations you have.

The best connections aren’t transactional. 
They’re built on curiosity, shared experiences, and genuine interest.

Some of the most impactful business relationships I’ve built started with conversations that had nothing to do with business.

Networking isn’t collecting contacts. 
It’s cultivating relationships.

Leadership Recruiting, Mid-Market to Enterprise Companies🔹Grounded in Relationships, Driven by Results🔹Backed by Transparent Metrics🔹Passionate About Professional Networking and Real Connections

Yesterday was one of those mornings that makes you check your phone twice.

7:15am text: SVP Marketing offer accepted.

7:28am email: VP Financial Planning & Analysis offer signed.

Two positions closed.
Before most people had caffeine, we had two offers accepted.

Huge shoutout to our Talent Executives Group team!  Clear expectations, real transparency, and organized communication make all the difference. That’s what gets leadership hires across the finish line.

Not a bad way to start the day and a solid way to head into the last 8 weeks of 2025!

With budgets being finalized for 2026, if you’re adding to your leadership, we’d love to help!

Winning in business starts with the right people.

And for our clients to win, we have to be:
⚡️ Quick to act
🎯 Right on target

Every placement builds two futures:

🔹 A future for the candidate, by pairing them with their next company
🔹 A future for the client’s team, by bringing the right leader into the fold

That’s not just recruiting.

That’s transformation.

Recently, I had the privilege of attending a @Best Buddies event.
An organization dedicated to building friendships, opportunities, and unforgettable experiences for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

The joy, energy, and authenticity in the room was beyond words.

It was a reminder that inclusion isn’t a corporate initiative. 

It’s human. 

It’s about creating spaces where everyone is seen, heard, and valued.

Sometimes the most memorable moments come from simply showing up and being present.

Looking forward to becoming a Best Buddy and creating special memories.

Proud to support an organization doing such important work.

Thank you for the invite Kevin Naylor ! Great evening all the way around! Dylan M. Rafaty, MADR, CDP (deaf/HoH) , MADR, CDP (deaf/HoH) it's always great when we get to catch up! And that view off the balcony... incredible!

The best recruiting work?
You’ll never hear about it.

No dramatic fallout.
No toxic hires.
No rescinded offers.

→ Because the damage never happens in the first place.

Last week, we pulled a candidate right before the client ever met him.

🟢 On paper? Solid.
🟢 Initial screen? Smooth.
🟢 Next round was queued up.
 
But in our prep calls?

🔴 Dismissive.
🔴 Unresponsive.
🔴 Just enough ego to raise concern.

He would’ve impressed in the interview room.

But we saw what the hiring team never would’ve.

And that’s the point.

The best recruiters aren’t just matchmakers.

→ We’re filters.
→ We’re protectors.
→ We’re your early warning system.

If you only see the finalists…
It’s because we’ve already blocked what could’ve cost you.

Think your social media isn't your resume? 

Think again! 

With 70% of employers reviewing social profiles before extending offers and 51% deciding against candidates based on their online presence, your digital footprint is more crucial than ever.

You can't afford to overlook the impact of your online persona.

Sharing a phenomenal concept in action, from my good friend of 30 years, David Weitzenfeld.  I’ve had an opportunity to try it out and the ease of the platform is fantastic!  Kudos on the CareerSpawn.com, Dave!

Tech-driven business leader, CPA, Lawyer | GenAI Process Enablement | Executing innovative solutions to transform organizations and drive business growth.

I sat down with the CEO of a successful online business yesterday.

He told me about a job he recently posted — Head of Operations. Great salary, benefits, options — the works.

In just 24 hours, he received 1,400 resumes.

Not one person included a simple cover letter or even a few bullets explaining the value they could bring.

Not one resume was customized for the role.

It was clear that most people were just throwing resumes over the wall, hoping something would stick.

That’s exactly where CareerSpawn.com
 comes in.

We help candidates stand out — by instantly tailoring each resume to the job description.
