We Find The People You Can't

The best candidates usually aren’t applying for jobs. They’re already working, performing, and being taken care of somewhere else. We go find them.We help companies hire proven professionals and leaders through Direct Hire, Contract-to-Hire, and Executive Search. We learn the business behind the job description, understand what success actually looks like in the seat, and then actively recruit people who fit.

DIRECT HIRE

For critical permanent roles where getting the hire right matters. We identify, recruit, vet, and deliver experienced candidates who have the background and ability to make an impact.

CONTRACT-TO-HIRE

Get the talent you need now without immediately adding permanent headcount. Bring someone into the business, see them perform in the real world, and convert them when you know they’re the right fit.

EXECUTIVE SEARCH

Leadership hires are different. We discreetly identify and engage proven executives who often aren’t actively looking and would never show up through a traditional job posting. We bring you people worth meeting.

What our Clients are saying

“We’ve worked with plenty of recruiting firms. Most send you a pile of resumes and hope something sticks. 1522 actually took the time to understand our business, the personalities involved and what we needed the person to accomplish. The difference in the candidates was obvious.”

– CXO

“I’m pretty protective of who we allow to recruit alongside our internal team. 1522 has been easy to work with because they don’t create more work for us. They listen, move fast and send people who are actually worth interviewing. That sounds simple, but it’s surprisingly hard to find.”

– VP of Talent

“What I appreciate about 1522 is that they understand the cost of getting a hire wrong. They’re not trying to collect a fee and move on. They’ve talked us out of candidates, pushed back when necessary and helped us make better hires. That’s why we continue using them.”

– CFO

“We had been trying to fill this role for months and were honestly exhausted with the process. We had interviewed plenty of people, worked with recruiters, posted the position everywhere we could think of, and kept coming up short. There were candidates who checked the boxes on paper, but once we met them, we knew they weren’t the right fit. At some point you start wondering if the person you’re looking for is even out there.

When 1522 brought us the person we ultimately hired, I remember telling my team, ‘This is literally an answered prayer.’ They understood what we needed beyond the job description. They vetted the personality, experience, leadership style, and the little things that are hard to put into words but matter when someone is joining your team. What impressed me most was that they didn’t overwhelm us with resumes. The people they brought us made sense. They had clearly done the work on the front end instead of making us do it for them. The person we hired has been an incredible addition to our company, and looking back, I wish we would have called 1522 months earlier.”

– Hiring Manager

“I’ll be the first to admit that I was skeptical. We’ve used recruiters before and had the same experience over and over again...a great sales pitch followed by a bunch of resumes that technically matched the job description but completely missed what we were actually looking for.

1522 was different. They wanted to understand the business, why we were hiring, what wasn’t working today, what this person needed to accomplish in the first year, and even the type of personality that would work with our leadership team. They pushed back on a few things we thought we wanted and, looking back, they were right. The candidates they brought us were noticeably different. We weren’t wasting time interviewing people just to fill an interview schedule. Every conversation was with someone we could legitimately see joining the company. We ended up hiring someone who has exceeded what we originally thought we could find for the role. The biggest compliment I can give 1522 is that I don’t really think of them as a recruiting company anymore. When we have an important seat to fill, I call them before we even post the position.”
