Argyle Search Partners is a venture capital funded boutique recruiting firm founded by ex-management consultants from Bain & Company and McKinsey & Company. Argyle specializes in placing pre-MBA management consultants in senior entrepreneurial roles with emerging growth companies in technology.  We have experienced rapid growth and traction among our concentrated talent pool, with the goal of placing between 80-100 candidates this year.

Argyle Search Partners is disrupting the recruiting market by establishing a pipeline of experienced, top-tier professional talent for start-ups. Argyle’s unique offering targets an exclusive talent pool, as more and more management consultants eschew typical exit opportunities (e.g., business school, private equity, corporate strategy, etc.) for high-growth technology companies. With this unique approach, Argyle plays a critical role in the war for talent in Chicago, Los Angeles, Toronto, Boston, Washington D.C. and New York.

 Given rapid recent growth, the Argyle Board of Directors is searching for a Connector to manage the recruiting lifecycle, help to develop and execute a talent strategy for our start-up clients, communicate directly with candidates, and coordinate with our career advisory team. This role will receive direct mentorship from the venture capital associates and the Argyle Board of Directors.
