instinctive search partners

eye in the sky, nose to the ground
The sound of a hawk fills a canyon, but with so much noise in the current battle for talent, it's hard to know who to turn to.
Hawk & Badger knows you've heard it all before, so we won't promise the obvious. Rather, we're outsiders with well-honed instincts and two decades of search strategy expertise. Our eyes are trained on evolving market trends, and we have an exceptional ground game for attracting individuals who often ignore recruiters.
With exceptional candidate response rates and proven experience across an expanse of domains, from technology to legal, IC to Executive, full-cycle recruiting to strategic sourcing, there's not many areas we haven't successfully supported. And if there is, we welcome a chance to solve that too.
Let us help you drown out the noise.
this is our nature
Let's be honest, when it comes to working with recruiters, results can vary wildly, so we pride ourselves in building trust early with hiring leaders.
It starts with listening ... really listening.
And after two decades' supporting a truly diverse ambit of searches, we've learned what to listen for. It's not just a job description but a business need, a pain point, or an urgency to solve a problem that may otherwise impact your team's objective.
We're not the first to use this approach, but we believe it's the right approach.
Listen
Discerning your true business need is where it all starts, so listening to a hiring leader's perspective means we dive beyond job descriptions and into the real marrow of the search.
Calibrate
We share a small number of select profiles to ensure we're tracking in the right direction, then using your feedback to dial in our approach, we get to work.
Search
In the quiet background, we research, identify, and gain the interest of compelling individuals open to exploratory conversations with your team.
Deliver
We don't throw darts at a board but pride ourselves in getting it right, early on. Expect accurate results straight from the start, as you'll see from the first submittal.
