Based on a recommendation from an experienced colleague, we entrusted Sean and Amplified Search in our search for our new CEO. We were very happy with the caliber of candidates that they brought to the table, and we met our schedule for the transition with a highly skilled, experienced hire. Communication is critical to the process and was handled expertly throughout the whole process. I’d have no reservations recommending Amplified to a friend or peer.

My experience working with Sean and AMPlified Search led to a life-changing career move. Sean is a gifted facilitator who quickly builds rapport through his thoughtful and service-minded approach. Perhaps the thing Sean does best is the hardest to articulate. Almost like an artist carefully preps a canvas, he helps frame authentic conversations for others to fill-in, finalize, and ultimately take ownership of. Focused on finding long-term fit, Sean is both intuitive and methodical in facilitating key milestones, and supportive in the moments in-between. He never loses focus on the big picture of relationship-building while helping guide the important day-to-day work. Our regular debriefs helped me both prepare for next steps and process previous ones, and ultimately stay grounded during what can often be a stressful process of interviewing for a new job. Ultimately, Sean’s attentive approach helped connect me with a dream job in the AEC industry.

I originally reached out to Sean on the advice of a friend in Chicago. I was considering making a change and needed advice on my options in the AE marketplace. I had not changed jobs in several years and did not have a good feel for my current market value. Sean was very helpful, asking great questions and acquiring an excellent understanding of my skill set, interests, and career goals. A few days later, he called me back and informed me that a client of his would be filling a position a few months down the line, and it seemed like I might be a good fit. He asked if I was interested, and I agreed to explore it. The rest, as they say, is history. I can’t say enough about how great an advisor and advocate Sean was throughout the process. He went out of his way to over-communicate with me about the opportunity, and he continued to ask great questions to help all parties gain confidence that this would be a good fit. Sean has great market insights and also understands the nuances of different roles within an A/E firm, and his analysis and advice on these topics was critical to my decision process. I would certainly encourage a friend to work with Sean and his team because he goes out of his way to understand both the job opportunity and the candidate and helps facilitate the discussions to help ensure a good fit all around. He takes a long-term view towards this process, which benefits all parties.
