Vertex Search - Ben Hanley


As the founder of Vertex Search, I have developed a unique and assertive recruitment strategy that stands apart in an industry often fixated on qualifying as many candidates as possible. My approach is different: I focus on discerning rejection, meticulously refining the candidate pool to present only a select few. This methodology ensures that you are not overwhelmed with options but are provided with a handful of exceptional individuals, each an ideal fit for your unique needs.

My philosophy centers not just on immediate profitability, but on a steadfast commitment to building deep and long-lasting relationships. I extend this dedication to all interactions, ensuring that I am always connected to the perfect candidate for any role. By treating every relationship with care and attention, I ensure the right candidate is always within reach.

In working with both VC-backed startups and large corporations, I understand that a one-size-fits-all approach is insufficient. Through close, often asynchronous collaboration, I design bespoke talent acquisition strategies, featuring customized candidate-screening processes. These are not merely about saving time; they are about grasping those unspoken needs that are never captured in a job description and the needs that clients themselves may not have realized. The real art of a true headhunter lies in reading between the lines – identifying those qualities that make a candidate truly stand out for your specific needs and for challenges my might not even be aware of yet.

My constant search for innovative ways to enhance relationship-building ensures that when you partner with Vertex Search, you engage with someone who embodies the spirit of recruiting.

Testimonials


Discover firsthand the experiences and success stories of our clients. Here's what they have to say about our partnership and the impact we've made together:

Cihan Ucar

CTO @ Lumo, Founder, Startup Advisor

Ben has played an instrumental role in the success of one of my previous startups (Flo). As the CTO, finding the right talent is one of the most critical aspects of building a thriving business, and Ben truly exceeded all expectations in this area.

Ben is a different breed; he will go the extra mile with no fear and utmost perseverance. He is great at attracting and sourcing passive talent, which in my opinion, sets him apart from other typical recruiters.

Brian Frackelton

VP of Engineering Technology at nVent

I have a long list of recruiters that call me and a short list that I call. Ben is on that short list. He's found his way on my list of top recruiters because he's consistently delivered with excellent candidates that not only fill positions but go on to become great members of the team (what matters to me as a hiring manager).

I've had good success with Ben placing Cloud and Mobile App software engineers. I'd definitely recommend Ben and plan to continue to call upon him when future needs arise!

Bennett Neale

Head of Technology at TrueCar

Ben Hanley has the hustle of three recruiters. I have worked with him on many occasions, and he just flat out gets the job done. I jokingly refer to Ben as the candidate whisperer, because he has a knack of cutting through the hundreds of messages potential candidates receive, and makes them respond to his inbound messaging.

He gets the psychology of recruiting, and takes the time to understand both sides so that he's making quality matches. I highly recommend you reach out to Ben.
