Where Michael's searches go deepest

Four fields where senior candidates are scarce, the vocabulary matters, and a keyword match is not enough.

Fields

Four fields, each with its own talent pool

Field

Engineering

Software and hardware engineers from senior individual contributors to staff, principal and engineering leadership. These are people with options who rarely respond to a job posting, so the search is built around who they are and what they work on.

Field

Semiconductor

A small, specialized talent pool where everyone knows everyone and generic outreach gets ignored. Searches here depend on understanding the technical vocabulary well enough to tell real depth from adjacent experience.

Field

Construction-tech

Roles that sit between software and the physical world of building. The best candidates understand both, and they are hard to find by title alone.

Field

Healthcare

Technical hiring for healthcare companies, where domain context and the weight of the work matter to candidates as much as the stack.

Use cases

Situations where this fits

If you are

A founder making your first senior engineering hire

You need someone who can set direction, not only write code, and you do not have a recruiting function yet. A full-cycle search gives you one person owning it.

If you are

A hiring manager with a role open for months

The posting has produced volume but not the right people. A sourcing engagement goes to the candidates who are not applying.

If you are

A talent acquisition lead short on senior capacity

Your team handles the pipeline well but cannot go deep on a niche. A specialty search adds depth without changing your process.
