I know someone you should meet.
That's how most of Kara's placements begin — not with a job posting, but with a person she knows and believes in. Clutch Recruiting is matchmaking for great workplaces: hand-picked people, real culture fit, and a recruiter who remembers the little things that matter.
Which one is you?
You're hiring — and this one matters.
You don't need 200 applicants. You need the right three — vetted for skill, character, and how they'll actually work with your team.
- Hand-selected candidates, many not on job boards at all
- Anyone who'd bring friction to a team? Already filtered out
- One committed search partner, invested until it's filled
- 10% success fee — only when you hire · 90-day guarantee
You're great at what you do. Be found for it.
Kara takes time to understand your strengths, your personality, and what you actually want — then advocates for you like it's her own career.
- Real conversations, not résumé black holes
- Only put forward where you can genuinely thrive
- An advocate through interviews, offers & negotiation
- A connection that lasts well past your start date
Because when it counts, you want someone who comes through.
People, not postings
Kara's "inventory" isn't a résumé database — it's a decade of genuinely knowing people and what they're great at.
Fit you can feel
Personality, working style, team chemistry — weighed before anyone reaches your desk. One bad fit costs more than a slow search.
Skin in the game
No upfront fees. Kara gets paid when you hire — and backs every placement with a 90-day replacement guarantee.
Roots that run deep
Years of leadership in Fraser Valley nonprofits, schools, and businesses — communities where your reputation is your résumé.
Four steps. Zero chaos.
We talk
Your team, your culture, and what success actually looks like — before any searching starts.
Kara searches
Network first, then active search. Every candidate personally vetted for skills and fit.
You meet the best
A short list worth your time. Kara stays close through interviews, references, and the offer.
It sticks
90-day guarantee on every placement — if it doesn't work out, the replacement search is free.
Don't take Kara's word for it.
“Kara has a great ability to remember little things that truly matter, and takes time to understand a person's strengths and personality… A year later, I'm still grateful. I highly recommend Kara to anyone looking for a recruiter who cares about finding a good fit for both the candidate and the employer.”
“Kara is a genuine and intentional leader who comes alongside and advocates for individuals throughout the whole process… she helped me find a life-giving job where I am both challenged and able to grow, while still being an equal contributor to the team.”

Your next great hire? Kara probably knows them.
