Fit-Based Access

Not every inquiry becomes an engagement.

I don’t take every search or Sherpa request. I’ll look at the situation first and decide whether I’m the right fit to help.

What fit review means For searches, I look at the role, market, urgency, process, and likelihood of success. For Sherpa, I look at goals, readiness, fit, and whether the structure is likely to help.

Quick Checks

Not sure where to start?

Use these quick checks. If you still are not sure, send a confidential inquiry and I’ll route it from there.

Do you take every search or Sherpa request?

No. Search assignments and Sherpa access are fit-based. I review the request first so I can decide whether the timing, goals, expectations, and likely path make sense.

Should I book time or send a note first?

If you already know the right path, use the relevant Student, Client, or Sherpa page. If you are not sure, send a short private inquiry first.

Are you open to business collaborations or partnerships?

Yes, if there’s a real connection to recruiting, hiring, career development, technical education, or something else I’m already working around. Send me enough context to understand the idea, who it serves, and what you have in mind.

Do you offer group training or workshops?

Yes. I’m open to workshops, team sessions, student programs, hiring-manager training, and other group formats when the topic and audience make sense. Tell me who the audience is and what you’re trying to accomplish.

Are you available for podcasts, panels, webinars, or speaking?

Possibly. Send the topic, audience, format, and timing. If it’s something I can add useful perspective to, I’m happy to take a look.

Can we talk about a recruiting, career, or platform idea?

Absolutely. I spend a lot of time around recruiting systems, career tools, AI, hiring process, and technical education. If there’s a useful idea or potential overlap, send it.

What if what I need doesn’t fit any of the options above?

That’s what the general inquiry is for. Tell me what you’re trying to do and I’ll figure out where it belongs.
