Did You Know?

Each month, nearly 7 million people start new jobs—yet over 80% of positions are filled outside of online job boards. In fact, 37% of leadership roles are confidential searches and never publicly posted.

At the same time, more than 100 million job applications are submitted through platforms like LinkedIn and Indeed each month—yet over 60 million applicants never hear back, not even once.

That’s why top-tier candidates and executive talent are increasingly opting out of job boards altogether, choosing to partner with firms like Hunter Ambrose. We specialize in discreet, high-touch recruitment for leadership roles—connecting proven professionals with organizations where their impact will matter.
