About Shields Group Search

At Shields Group Search, our mission is to connect innovative startups with exceptional talent. We specialize in executive search for Seed-Series C companies, ensuring that your growing team has the right leaders to drive success.

About Shields Group Search

Our Focus

Early stage is our focus & niche. Our average client has 5-30 employees, has just raised a fundraising round, and needs top-tier talent to scale. 

About Shields Group Search

Startup Minded

We specialize in hiring executive, commercial, and engineering talent—especially for early-stage teams where each hire carries significant weight. A startup’s 5th team member has far more impact than a large company's 2000th, which is why getting the right fit is critical.

Proactive

We're scrappy, proactive, and deeply research-driven. We leave no stone unturned to find the best possible fit. This approach is especially critical in technical and executive searches, where candidates are plentiful but true top-tier talent is elusive. We know the best people are often not actively looking—so we make it our job to engage them, tell a compelling story, and position the role as a clear step forward in their journey.

Flexible

We’re intentionally not overly structured—startup hiring is fast-moving and often unpredictable. Whether you fall in love with a candidate and want to move quickly, need to cancel an interview last-minute, shoot over a weekend request, or build a technical evaluation from scratch—we get it. Things move fast, and we’re built to move with you.


We’re flexible, responsive, and adapt to your workflow. Unlike large firms bogged down by process and red tape, we keep it personal and agile. I’ll personally take on your first few roles and work closely with you to find the right fit.
