Executive and technical search
Building innovative companies across the Mountain West
Your hiring...case closed
15+ years of building early and growth stage technology companies
Clients work with us because they are looking for a hiring partner...not a transactional salesperson. We listen, understand your business, thoroughly vet candidates, and take deep pride in our work (after all...we put our name on it!).
Strategic: We are a selective, low-volume search firm. Every engagement starts with a deep understanding of your goals, values, and business strategy. We partner with your team to ensure we find, assess, and hire the right people.
Specialized: We focus exclusively on leadership, operations, and critical technical roles for early and growth-stage companies.
Streamlined: We balance modern AI tools with data and human psychology to provide curated, vetted, high-quality candidates...quickly.
It's counterintuitive, but in today's AI-driven economy, people are more important than ever. Competitive companies have to get it right.
After years of building startups and multibillion dollar public companies, interviewing and hiring thousands of people -- we know how to build great teams and companies.
We started Warson Search because we've worked with dozens of search firms, and we knew we could do things differently.
Deep partnership. Flexible. Independent. Knowledgeable. No transactional sales. No handoffs.
