Her Approach
Strategic
Identifying the leaders who will drive your company's growth successfully isn't guesswork. Paige combines 19 years of relationship-building with careful study of people and business — and leverages curated cross-industry recruiting relationships to find talent others can't reach.
Personal
Paige bridges the gap between founders and teams to breathe life into vision, culture, and community. Her programs are incredibly intimate — she takes only one client per product or service category, so there are never competitor conflicts.
Precise
Role clarity leads to title clarity. Every connection matches solid potential between a candidate's experience and goals and a client's strategic objectives. No guesswork. No doubt. Just clarity.
Strategic Advantage
Paige's Clifton StrengthsFinder Top 5 — Strategy, Empathy, Developer, Input, Maximizer — aren't just personality traits. They're the engine behind how she works:
- Strategy & Input: She studies the landscape before making a single call, building a deep understanding of your company, culture, and competitive position.
- Empathy & Developer: She sees potential in people and invests in their growth, helping candidates and clients alike navigate their next chapter.
- Maximizer: She doesn't settle for "good enough." She pushes for the right fit — the hire that transforms your team.
Beyond the search, Paige plays an unofficial business development role for her clients — using her social media presence and industry visibility to lend her trusted brand to theirs. She also helps clients design interview processes that attract and evaluate the right talent.
