Kate Verdon

Co-Founder & Managing Partner

Meet Kate
Give me two weeks, and I’ll bring you the people no one else is talking to , the top performers who are thriving in their roles, loved by their companies, and not scrolling job boards. I pick up the phone, tell your story, and market your opportunity in a way that gets the best talent curious and excited. 
This is what I’ve done for more than 25 years. I built my career before LinkedIn existed, learning how to build trust, spark conversations, and ignite change in people. That old-school, personal approach is still what sets me apart today.
My approach is fast, targeted, and strategic. I get to know your culture, your leadership, and exactly who will thrive on your team and then I go out and find them.  I bring you top performers ready to talk. 
And here’s the difference: I meet every single candidate in person. I go deep, beyond the resume to understand who they are, what drives them, and why they’ll thrive on your team. That’s how I make lasting matches that stick.
