❤️ Care More

2025 didn’t start out as planned, but we are Dreamore! We remain purposeful and resilient.

In plainer English, if you were not already aware, our 10 acre property at the top of Malibu has burned completely in the Palisades Fire.

Our prior location the Malibu Dream House burned in the Woolsey Fire in 2018.

Embracing our Double Phoenix energy means that we’re stronger now, applying lessons learned from before, and continuing on this path to build businesses & gardens (the virtual kind AND the real ones too).

Fire energy is all about transformation and release. It’s tough to let go. But it’s the only way to grow.

As we support our startup/purpose-led clients with hiring and advisory needs, these themes are bubbling up all the time. When we say we are Bringing Humanity Back To Hiring, so far this year it means we can keep it real, recognize the pain everyone is going through right now, and stay empathetic but Never Give Up.

🤝 Support More

One of our allies set up a GoFundMe since many folks have wanted to contribute in whatever ways they could. Honestly, the timely gifts of encouragement in the inbox, randomly a hairbrush, gentle hugs, and a pair of fabulous cheetah print boots - those have meant as much or more as any financial donation. What we REALLY thrive on is helping clients with strategic hiring needs - building businesses and supporting other female/diversity/purpose-led companies - that’s our jam.

But if it doesn’t offend you, and you know that any funds go right back into our founder & creative community - here’s the link.

Clients are hiring! It’s not like the old days just yet, but definitely signs of improvement. Links to a few featured jobs, and much more coming in January:

Senior Director Engineering hybrid in Los Angeles

Operations Director hybrid in West Los Angeles

We are a targeted search firm with many deep relationships.

We recruit for startup and middle market clients who might only need ONE hire, or multiples, at any level/function in the organization.

Not just executive level, but any nuanced or challenging hire that is best served with a targeted, filtered approach instead of staffing, online job postings, or volume.

Share our info freely with others considering who/when/who to hire. Glad to help even if it’s just some friendly advice.
