How we work
Four steps, and a person you can actually reach at every one
The intake call
Thirty minutes on the seat, the team, and what "good" looks like here — not a job description read back to you.
The shortlist
A small number of genuinely qualified people, each with a written Brennan Snapshot explaining why they fit.
Interviews
We schedule, prep both sides, and debrief after every round so nothing stalls.
The placement
Offer guidance, resignation coaching, and a check-in once they have started.
What people say afterwards
★★★★★
Brennan found us a controller in under a month after two other agencies spent four months on it. The difference was that they actually pushed back on our job description instead of just sending resumes.
CFO, manufacturing client
★★★★★
I have worked with a lot of recruiters and most of them disappear once you are placed. My recruiter here called me three months into the job to see how it was going. That tells you something.
Senior Accountant, placed 2025
★★★★★
They told me one of their own candidates was not right for the role. I have never had an agency do that. It is the reason they get every search we run now.
VP Finance, professional services
