Your recruiting partner
Warson Search is a professional search firm based in Denver, CO. I started Warson Search after 5 years at HashiCorp (Terraform, Vault, Consul) and 15+ years of technology startup recruiting.
I specialize in technical and executive recruiting for high-impact roles in technical organizations. Where I shine are complex, hard-to-fill roles, as well as complex technical environments.
I understand the challenges that companies face as they grow from Seed through IPO or acquisition, because I've been there, scaling companies from Seed/Series A through exit.
When roles are critical, and you have to find the right people...
That's when companies call Warson Search.
