We partnered with Jamie and Guild Talent to hire our Head of Operations. Time was of the essence. Jamie and Tom moved incredibly fast to fill up the pipeline with strong candidates, and we closed the search within just a few weeks. Jamie and Tom were there to support us 100% of the way. They implemented feedback quickly and continued to fill up our pipeline all the way until we made a decision.
We couldn't be happier with the outcome

Guild Talent for the win! I've worked with them now on a number of different leadership hires. The team there has a great understanding of the market, are easy to collaborate with, and turn around quick results. In a very competitive recruiting market and while working on some quite senior and critical roles for Elation Health they continue to deliver.
…can't speak highly enough of their team and capabilities



Jamie's Guild Talent was referred to me by one of our investors and we were blown away by the results. Aside from the fact that the search was beautifully executed and took less than a month to complete, the team was incredibly attentive, went above/beyond to own and run the process, and were friendly and generally great to work with. I'm glad to have found a great retained search partner in a world where there are many many sub-par options in market.
I'd welcome working with them again





We worked with Jamie and Tom on a recent search. They completed our search project in record time. Both are team players and exceeded expectations all round.
I highly recommend Jamie and would work with him again



Guild Talent crushed it for us at Scout. I engaged the Guild team to help with a combination of leadership & staff hiring within our Customer Success Org as we were going through some pretty serious growth, their process and results were second to none & I would welcome working with them again. I felt more than comfortable with Guild representing Scout and owning the recruiting process.
Strong recommendation



I was introduced to Guild Talent when FalconX was a Seed stage company that was still building our early team. As an early stage company without an internal recruitment team, it was incredibly helpful to have the Guild Talent team own the process, bring top quality candidates to the table, and ultimately help us continue to build a world class team and company!
Guild Talent helped us make 3 key hires that have since allowed us to accelerate as a business



Worked with Jamie and Guild Talent for our Head of Finance role, and they were fantastic. Brought us really high quality candidates every week and helped us close our search quickly.
Definitely recommend!




Jamie & Guild Talent were referred to me via one of our investors in mid-2019 to help with a VP level role we had open at BlueVine. It was a confidential replacement search for a senior role within our organization. Jamie and his team handled it perfectly and were great partners for us in completing the project. The Guild team was a delight to work with personally, and their recruiting efforts were just as great. They know the market quite well and were quick to identify how to approach the search, calibrate, & execute. Their process over the course of the project was crisp and streamlined and well organized; I've worked with enough retained search firms over the years to know the difference between the good and bad.
I would welcome working with Jamie/Guild again 100%!



Jamie & Guild Talent were the perfect exec search partner for Farmstead when hiring our Head of Operations. As an earlier stage company (series A, ~20 employees) we had a rough idea of what we were looking for but not exactly. Together we were quickly able to hone in on the ideal profile, build a strong pipeline of candidates, and ultimately navigate the process through to a successful outcome.
I'm looking forward to the next opportunity to work with the Guild Talent team again!



Jamie and Rance were fantastic partners on our VP / Snr. Director of Operations search. Working with them felt like we had an internal executive recruitment function befitting a much larger company (we were Series B / haver raised between $50mm - $100mm at the time). They quickly calibrated on our feedback and put matching candidates in front of us. At the end of the search, we had multiple candidates the team was excited about and we were able to work with Jamie on an effective closing strategy.
Highly recommend him and the team



Jamie and the Guild Talent team are outstanding. They come with a wealth of knowledge about the candidate and commercial market, their recruiters are dynamic collaborators, and the candidates presented meet the mark. They helped us fill a critical role within a competitive and nuanced space.
Highly recommend!



I worked with the Guild Talent team in 2019 to hire a Senior Director role within my org. After engaging Jamie and his team on retainer I was immediately glad that I had done so; my experience with Guild was one of the more well run, productive and successful projects I have been a part of as a client working with an outside executive recruiter.
Aside from the caliber of candidates they presented, their structure and organization were beyond expectation



Jamie and the Guild Talent team helped us in a key hire for our finance team. From beginning to end, extraordinary partnership! They attentive listened to our needs, introduced us to high caliber talent, and managed a well-run recruitment process.
They made a difference and I strongly recommend the Guild team!



Jamie has taken a career of finding and placing great talent, and built a community that helps each other in growing their businesses, and their careers. Because he is so competent at drawing out of technology leaders what they want in a hire, he is able to source top candidates that can deliver on that definition of success. From that, he co-founded Operator's Guild, to be a community of liked-minded operations and finance leaders for a place to brainstorm on creative ideas to big questions. He continues to pay it forward in making people more successful than if they tried to do things alone.
If you are considering retaining him, my simple counsel is to give him that shot, he won't disappoint

HOW WE WORK
Retained/Contained Search
Guild Talent focuses on leadership hiring (Director, VP, CXO and ‘Head of’ level) across Go-To-Market and G&A functions. The roles we work are often high impact positions within a company that deserve a proper market mapping and research exercise.
Personal Approach
We’re not a massive firm, in fact, we’re quite small and quite focused. We know the roles we’re good at and we know the ones we’re not. Each project has multiple sets of eyes on it, weekly pipeline reporting, and an expectation from us that our clients are equally involved in the process.
Startups & Large Orgs
With a collective 35+ years of recruiting experience that spans stealth startups to public companies, if you need to build out your team, regardless of company size, give us a ring. We won’t take on a project if we can’t add value.
Flexible Billing
Based on the seniority and specifics of each project, we’ll tailor our billing model to what makes sense. As a small and agile team, we can be flexible with our clients. And if you prefer to test out a candidate before hiring or have a short term project, worry not – we can help.
3x3 Promise
Our goal is to move the needle. Fast. At the outset of every project, we’re building a targeted candidate list, but that doesn’t mean it’ll take forever. Along with calibration calls, our aim is to have at least 3 candidates in process by the 3rd week.
Search Process
A big part of success in executive search is guiding both hiring teams and candidates through a well-designed process. Our method comes from completing hundreds of searches with all sorts of variables. Sticking to a process, but allowing for flexibility, drives to successful outcomes.
