History
It’s a story for the ages. A Founder with a traditional recruitment background starts a company using traditional headhunting techniques to fill mid-level manager and hard-to-find roles. After using traditional recruitment methods but finding more success using elevated job postings, the founder began to question everything he thought he knew about recruitment.
The team at Pivot + Edge went back to the drawing board and started to look at recruiting in a whole new light.
If you told a yellow cab company in New York City a decade ago that a small startup would come along and provide a better service more efficiently and for a fraction of the cost, they probably would have called you crazy — Uber did just that.
Just as Uber once did, Pivot + Edge’s trailblazing recruitment model is disrupting the industry — an industry that is decades behind in our opinion —and making hiring for startups smart, simple and scalable. At first, we were questioned by C-levels—but they quickly changed their tune and started to ask why they ever hired any other way.

Founder
After growing an early-stage company and selling it I joined another start up raising nearly $14M USD as a founding exec, I was responsible for building sales and marketing—with no clue where to begin. Like most startups, our first hires came from our networks, but scaling beyond that was a struggle. With 30+ years in recruitment and firsthand experience scaling my own tech ventures, I saw just how flawed traditional hiring is. That’s why we built Pivot + Edge—to fix it.

What I love most about P+E apart from working with my amazing team, would be the ability to fill talent gaps effectively while upholding valuable relationships with both our clients and candidates.
