Ethical Recruitment Leader | Mid to executive-level placement | Helping Qualified Candidates Grow Their Careers by Matching Them with Thriving Companies

Six months. That’s how long a construction firm searched for their next Director of Operations.

Hundreds of resumes. Dozens of interviews. Zero results.

When the CEO finally called me, he was exhausted. The business was growing, but without the right leader in place, he was stuck in the weeds, running operations himself instead of focusing on scaling the company.

Here’s what happened next: I clarified the role, tapped into my hidden network, and within six weeks placed the leader they’d been chasing for half a year. That hire streamlined operations, stabilized the team, and gave the CEO his time back.

This is what I do.
I help mid-market and growth-stage businesses—in construction, real estate, healthcare, and e-commerce—find the executives and senior managers who can turn chaos into clarity and growth into something sustainable.

Not by flooding inboxes with résumés.
Not by recycling candidates who happen to be “looking.”
But through our Right-Fit Recruiting Method™️: deep discovery, targeted headhunting, and cultural alignment that ensures leaders don’t just stick, they scale with you.

Here’s why clients come back:

8 years recruiting across industries that don’t tolerate mistakes

92% retention rate at the 12-month mark for senior hires

A reputation as a trusted advisor to CEOs and founders who are serious about growth

One client put it best:
“Joel didn’t just send resumes, he delivered the leader we’d been searching for. His process saved us months of wasted time and gave us the confidence to scale.”

At the end of the day, I’m not just a recruiter. I’m a headhunter.
I don’t stop until the right leader is in the seat.
I don’t just fill roles, I help companies build futures.

Outside of work, you’ll find me with my family and involved in my community. That same people-first mindset drives everything I do: relationships first, results always.

Looking to make your next senior hire the right one? Let’s talk about how we can find your perfect fit.

Executive Level Recruiter

I once worked with a company that was thriving.
Tight-knit team. Clear values. Energy you could feel when you walked in.

Then they made one bad hire.

On paper? Brilliant.
In practice? Toxic.
Dismissive in meetings. Cutting corners. Making “me” matter more than “we.”

It only took a few weeks for the atmosphere to shift.
The energy drained.
The team stopped speaking up.
People who used to love their work started quietly checking out.

That’s how fast culture can change.

Because when you hire, you’re not just adding skills.
You’re adding someone’s habits.
Their values.
Their definition of what “good work” looks like.

The wrong hire weakens a culture in weeks.
The right one strengthens it for years.

Skills can be taught.
Culture is contagious.

Decision-making used to drain me.
I’d overthink every move.
Circle the same options for weeks.
Talk to five experts, read ten articles — and still feel stuck.

My inner loop sounded like this:
→ “What if I fail?”
→ “What if it’s the wrong call?”
→ “What will people think?”

But after years of watching leaders, founders, and candidates wrestle with the same thing, I realized something simple:

Clarity doesn’t come before action. It comes from it.
You don’t think your way into certainty. You act your way into it.

Here’s what’s helped me (and the best leaders I know) decide faster and lead with confidence:

1️⃣ Default to movement.
You’ll never think your way into momentum — you have to move.

2️⃣ Cut the options.
Too much choice kills clarity. Limit the noise, focus on progress.

3️⃣ Set decision deadlines.
Small → 30 seconds.
Medium → 30 minutes.
Big → 30 hours.
Done is better than delayed.

4️⃣ Count to five and move.
When instinct hits, act before fear starts negotiating.

5️⃣ Follow the 70% rule.
Waiting for 100% certainty is waiting forever.

Overthinking is disguised fear.
But action? That’s leadership in motion.

Because once you take the first step, the path always starts to appear.

🔥 Question for you:
Are you chasing perfect decisions — or making progress?
