"I've successively scaled 5 companies. I know what great leadership looks like, because I've had to embody it and identify it in hundreds of executives."
David founded PSP to fix what search firms get wrong, after building and leading companies across manufacturing, consulting, and nonprofit sectors. He stays hands-on across every search, from C-suite to VP and director roles, because he has been in both the candidate's shoes and yours.
Hiring senior leaders is where growth stalls.
A bad executive hire is expensive in salary and far more expensive in lost momentum. Most firms make it worse, not better.
Slow searches that drag
Weeks pass with no qualified candidates, while the role sits open and the work piles onto your team.
Resume floods, no vetting
Generic profiles land in your inbox and the real work of screening gets pushed back onto you.
Hires that don't fit
The person looks right on paper, then can't lead the team or carry the company through what comes next.
Most firms send resumes.
We send the right person.
We move fast, but never at the expense of fit. Every candidate is screened, interviewed, and tested before they reach you. If we wouldn't hire them ourselves, we won't present them.
Aligned from day one
Every search starts with your business goals, not a job description. We define what success in the role actually looks like, then go find it.
Vetted and tested, not just sourced
We interview for leadership style and team fit, then benchmark with Hogan and Chally. You see assessment results, not just a track record.
A curated slate in 25 days
Within 25 days you receive a short slate of fully vetted finalists with briefs, testing, and side-by-side comparisons. No inbox flooding.
Backed by a guarantee

The firms who hire with PSP don't go back.
I've worked with five recruiting firms over five years. All of them were terrible. PSP is the complete opposite. They only introduce you to high quality candidates you can hire swiftly.
We needed to move fast, and our requirements were highly specific and non-negotiable. PSP delivered candidates who not only met those criteria but exceeded them. We hired a leader who's driving real impact.
PSP helped us build our entire sales and delivery team. They took the time to understand our business and moved fast, consistently delivering talent we never would have found on our own.
Built for the lower middle market.
We know what great leadership looks like in the industries where the right hire is hardest to find.
Leaders who create value
Operating partners, portfolio-company CEOs, CFOs, and the operators who turn a thesis into returns, placed with discretion.
Operators who scale
Plant managers, VPs of operations, and continuous-improvement leaders who bring order, accountability, and throughput.
Leaders who deliver care and growth
Executives across healthcare and medical technology who can balance outcomes, compliance, and a path to scale.
