WHO WE ARE

Calderwood Search Partners specializes in recruiting Technical Sales, Technology, Architecture, and Leadership talent for Cloud, SaaS, AI, IT Infrastructure, and other technology-driven companies across North America.


We combine the precision of executive search with the agility that modern technology companies require. We are not a volume-based agency. We are a strategic search partner focused on strengthening your culture, your performance, and your long-term results.


Every search begins with a deep understanding of your business, your goals, and the kind of talent that will make a lasting impact. Our approach is transparent, relationship-driven, and built on accountability. We identify and engage the best people available in the market, including top performers who are not actively applying.


Our work is built on trust, and we back that commitment with an industry-leading Five-Year Replacement Program. We believe that the right hire should stay and help your company grow.
