Our Name / Who We Are

We identify and place transformative talent to drive business success

Reflexion, the traditional spelling of reflection, means an informed, thorough, and intent evaluation. That is how we approach every search.

After 30 years in recruiting, we know what works: real partnership. We take the time to understand your organization, leadership, hiring managers, the open position, and where your company is headed.

We are a niche consultancy, small by design, not a resume mill. We find leaders who share your vision and values, and we fill the difficult roles you have struggled to recruit for. Throughout every search, we represent your company to candidates the way it deserves.

That work builds trust. As your company grows, we hope to be the partner you call again.

Our Approach

How Reflexion Works

We pair our experience and insight with a tailored approach to every search, so the candidates we present fit both the role and your organization.

Dedicated Search Services

We run a comprehensive search campaign for your company, with candidate reporting and full research into the position and how it fits within your organization. That's right: at the beginning of every search, we provide a comprehensive list of candidates that includes each person's name, organization, title, and a bio drawn from their publicly available information. This allows your management team or board to be confident that we are recruiting from the right talent pool and that the search will launch effectively and on time.

Talent Strategy Development

Good recruiting is more than one-off hires. We partner with you on a long-term recruiting strategy that strengthens your team, builds your brand, and drives success. For each search, we create a detailed company profile and job specification, shared after first contact to bring top prospects to the table. We also produce video versions that offer a more engaging introduction to your company and the opportunity. This matters because passive, currently employed professionals rarely take the time to research a new employer on their own. Your story also travels beyond the search itself. Even when a contact or referral source isn't right for the role, many find the story compelling, and in some cases our materials have led to new business development opportunities for our clients.

AI — Merging Proven Recruiting Techniques with New Technology

Artificial Intelligence is not the panacea for recruiting challenges. We consider it a great administrative and productivity tool, but it cannot replace the effectiveness of person-to-person communication. That's why a senior leader of our firm is part of every communication, even initial contact. Although AI-driven recruiting tools have only recently launched, potential candidates have already soured on them. So many false job postings have gone out to build candidate lists or to populate databases that passive candidates can now spot AI agents, and they are not responding. AI interviews are being rejected as well. What does this mean for you? Fewer responses, candidates dropping out of the process, and even no-shows on start dates. Let us be your partner in attracting quality talent and keeping candidates engaged throughout the process.
