Why
Hiring got louder and messier. Good people get buried. This is the map.
aka Sherpa, I’ve spent over 25 years in IT executive search, providing guidance and support on critical hiring and career decisions.
Lost navigating this new market? 25+ years inside hiring and executive search. I help companies and professionals make better decisions.
You're not alone.
I can help →A NEW HIRING REALITY
More candidates and more polished résumés have made fit harder to judge, not easier.
More openings and more tools have made the right move harder to recognize, not easier.
I work on both sides of that decision.
The terrain got harder to read.
Hiring got louder and messier. Good people get buried. This is the map.
A clearer read on resumes, interviews, screens, roles, and signals.
For candidates, students, and companies trying to make better decisions.
Any software can find you a match. I’m here when fit matters.
The goal is not more resumes. It is a clearer path to the right hire.
Headhunting Solutions→A career can span forty years. It should not be managed as a series of disconnected job searches.
The goal is to understand what is working, what is not, and what to do next.
Personal Career Solutions→For students, career changers, and others trying to turn experience, effort, and potential into value the market can recognize.
The goal is to build evidence, confidence, and a process that holds up in the real market.
Open Resources & Training→Why RecruiterDave
I’ve spent my career evaluating technical talent, advising hiring leaders, and helping people navigate consequential career moves.
Enough technical fluency to get past keywords, titles, and résumé language and understand what actually matters.
No account manager. No junior recruiter handoff. No layers between the conversation, the search, and the decision.
