Meet Your Recruiter
Kurt Gundersen
Senior Recruiter
A few decades ago, Kurt accidentally wandered into recruiting and discovered he had a natural gift for solving complex hiring puzzles. He knows firsthand that sometimes the best career moves are the unplanned ones. With that extensive experience, he's become an industry expert who has successfully delivered over 2,000 quality hires across diverse sectors. He knows that finding exceptional talent requires skill, intuition, and strategic detective work. As a true generalist who's filled everything from specialized wine industry roles to cutting-edge tech positions, Kurt approaches each partnership like he approaches guitar playing: no rigid templates, just authentic conversations that help hiring managers articulate exactly what they need. His relationship-building style cuts through corporate formalities to get to the heart of what makes candidates and companies click, resulting in a 95% retention rate and saving clients an average of 60 days in their hiring process.
Kurt's collaborative approach ensures every placement feels like a partnership rather than a transaction, with hiring managers consistently praising his ability to understand unique company dynamics and deliver candidates who exceed expectations. When he's not solving staffing challenges, you'll find this musician releasing original music, hitting the trails for a run, or exploring Maine's wine scene. His philosophy reflects his adaptive approach: "Every company has unique needs. There's no cookie-cutter solution, and that's where I come in."
