The people behind every search.

Between us we’ve founded and sold a company, run operations through an acquisition, recruited for some of the country’s largest employers, and led sales and technology at global banks.

Portrait of Adena Surabian

Adena Surabian

Founder and CEO

Adena began her career in the staffing industry, recruiting for Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies. The birth of her two daughters inspired her to found a baby goods company, which she grew into a multi-million-dollar business and sold in 2011.

She returned to staffing as a consultant to start-up ventures before founding her own agency. Twenty-plus years in recruiting, plus the experience of running a company of her own, taught her exactly how much rides on putting the right person in the right seat. She works with both major and boutique operations to find the people who fit their needs.
