About Provex Search

Built on expertise, not volume.

I didn't start Provex Search because I thought the world needed another cloud and platform recruiting firm. I started it because tech leaders and companies deserve better.

The story

So I built Provex Search to be the opposite.

After years in the industry, I had a front-row seat to how most agencies actually operate: high-volume outreach, surface-level understanding of roles, and a constant push to move faster rather than get it right.

Meanwhile, the clients I worked with were dealing with real challenges: hiring engineers to build and scale cloud infrastructure, finding platform talent who could actually run production systems, and bringing in leaders who could execute. And they weren't getting the level of service they deserved.

What we focus on

We specialize in recruiting for cloud & platform engineering, working with startups to mid-market companies in the Denver Metro Area and nationwide. These are not easy roles to fill — which is exactly why we don't spread ourselves thin.

I go deep upfront so the rest of the process actually works: the business, the technical environment, the gaps you're trying to solve, and what success really looks like in the role.

Most agencies juggle too many roles and too many clients at once. If I take on a search, it's a priority — every time.

“This isn't about filling roles. It's about helping you make the right hire — the one that actually moves your business forward.”

Process

How we work

A structured process — from first conversation to long after the hire — built to get it right every time.

  1. Intake & Discovery

    Role expectations, team dynamics, tech stack, and what "great" actually looks like.

  2. Market Intelligence

    Compensation, talent availability, and competitive positioning in today's market.

  3. Targeted Sourcing

    Proactive headhunting of relevant, high-quality candidates — not blasting job boards.

  4. Screening & Vetting

    Only candidates who are qualified, aligned, and genuinely interested.

  5. Interview Management

    Scheduling, feedback loops, and candidate engagement throughout.

  6. Offer & Close

    Offer strategy and counteroffers, with the experience to get it right.

  7. Post-Placement

    Long-term success after the hire — the relationship doesn't end at the offer letter.

  8. True Partnership

    Structure, insight, and execution at every stage — an extension of your team, not a vendor.

Let's start a conversation.
