Specialized Recruiting & Staffing — Austin, TX — National Reach
Transformation requires new skills — we specialize in finding the people who bring them.
Talent across all business functions for companies evolving, scaling, or reinventing.
What We Place
The People Behind the Product
We recruit the operating layer of premium consumer brands. The categories differ, but the seats are the same: the people who carry a founder’s standard as the company grows.
Operations & General Management
COOs, VPs and Directors of Operations, and General Managers, plus the controllers and people leads who run the business behind the product.
Production, Manufacturing & Quality
Production, studio, and plant managers, Directors of Manufacturing, and quality leaders who protect craft and consistency as volume grows.
Sales & Marketing
VPs and Directors of Sales, marketing and brand leaders, and the growth, content, and creative roles that carry a brand’s voice to market.
Wholesale, Trade & Key Accounts
Wholesale and trade sales leadership, showroom managers, and key account managers who grow the retail relationships a brand is built on.
DTC, E-Commerce & Retail
E-commerce and DTC directors, retail operations leaders, and the customer and order operations teams that make the direct channel feel like the brand.
Product Development & Merchandising
Product development managers, merchandisers and planners, and creative coordinators who turn a founder’s vision into a line that ships on time.
Why Scherer Talent
What Sets Us Apart
We’re not a keyword-matching service. We’re a strategic partner in your talent decisions.
Boutique Attention
Every search gets principal-level focus. You work directly with the recruiter doing the work — no hand-offs, no black holes.
Domain Depth
We specialize in brands that design and make physical product. We know the difference between an operator who has lived premium consumer goods and one who has only run process.
National Network
Based in Austin, TX with deep roots in Los Angeles and relationships across the US. We reach the operators and makers who aren’t responding to job boards.
