Meet Peter
“For 25 years I've placed the operators, VPs, HR leaders, engineering directors, and venue teams who keep multi-unit brands, hotels, growth-stage tech, and pro-sports venues running. Based in Middle Tennessee, working nationally. If you need someone who's done the job, not just held the title, we should talk.”

What we solve
Hiring operators across 30 units is not a job-board problem.
When the search is a DM, a DOO, or a VP of Ops with real multi-unit P&L, the usual pipelines run out fast.
Multi-unit hiring across regions
Openings scattered across Nashville, Atlanta, and Dallas — each with its own market, comp band, and hiring manager. Job posts flood you with area GMs, not the regional operators you need.
DMs and DOOs who won’t answer InMails
The best District Managers already run a book of 20+ stores. They ignore cold outreach. Reaching them takes a network built over years — one referral at a time.
Concept-fit gaps burn hiring managers
A great fast-casual DM is not automatically a great QSR DM. Fine-dining Ops leaders stumble in franchised systems. We screen for concept fit before you ever see a resume.
How we engage
Three ways to work with us.
Three ways to work together — executive search at a flat 20% fee, RaaS (Recruiting as a Service) on a monthly retainer, or consulting by the hour. Priced the way operators budget for the work.
Executive search · 20% fee
Senior, confidential, exclusive
For VP Operations, Regional Directors, VP HR, CHRO, CIO, and other senior operator or executive placements. I run the search personally, back-channel-reference every finalist, and stand behind a 90-day guarantee.
- · Standard 90-day replacement guarantee
- · First candidate slate in 5 business days
- · Back-channel referencing on every finalist
RaaS · Monthly retainer
Recruiting as a Service
Embedded recruiting function on a predictable monthly fee. For growth-stage operators hiring across the org without a full-time TA lead. Weekly submissions, ATS + process optimization, executive-level reporting.
- · Predictable monthly cost, unlimited scope
- · No per-placement invoices
- · Avg 67% annual savings vs per-hire fees
*Pilot option available — monthly rate scales with the number of open seats we're running for you at any given time.
Consulting · hourly
Advisory + org-design help
For orgs that need my brain but not a full search — comp benchmarking, JD calibration, ATS + interview-loop redesign, TA-function audits, hiring-strategy sessions. Booked in blocks, invoiced hourly.
- · Comp + JD calibration for a specific seat
- · ATS + interview-loop audits
- · One-off advisory or strategy sessions
