Bio
Angie Fox
I initially hired Brian to help us fill a key sales role and he's become an extension of our recruiting team. We’ve now worked together on several openings and Brian continues to deliver high-caliber candidates and first-rate customer service. Brian is down-to-earth, incredibly responsive, and his reputation with candidates is second to none – he is the recruiter candidates call when they’re looking for a role in the self-funded space. As a growing organization with limited resources, I sincerely appreciate Brian’s willingness to share his knowledge of latest trends in the healthcare and labor markets. I’ve also called Brian many times to brainstorm about how I can improve our internal hiring practices. There aren’t many recruiters out there like Brian and I’m proud to call him not only a trusted advisor, but also a friend. If you’re looking for a top-notch sales recruiter, look no further.

I had the opportunity to work with Brian and found him to be a candid, integrity focused partner. Brian has a broad view of the market and his industry giving him a value that surpasses many of his peers. I would unconditionally recommend Brian for Executive Search or his expertise on how to build an extraordinary LinkedIn profile.
