About Us

My name is Scott Birkhead, and I'm the Managing Partner of Sensible Hire. My partners and I are dedicated to helping you make Sensible Hires - the ones that make your business go forward, not backward!

Who are we? Well, In the course of a career you meet people that see the world like you do, who are fun to be with and who won't shortcut the hard work necessary to reach goals - those are the people that make it worth it to get up and drive in every day.

That's who we are and why we work together. We're a group of friends and former coworkers who at one time or another have held roles as recruiters, recruiting managers internal HR staff, loan officers, management consultants and business owners. We've worked for:

1.         Headhunting agencies - small, local, temp, and national retained search firms
2.         Staffing companies - technology and administrative "rent an employee" companies
3.         Small private employers and large, publicly traded organizations in a variety of industries
4.         Non-profit trade associations and cooperatives

We want to help small companies learn to leverage the skills and tactics that make large companies effective at hiring and getting the most out of long-term talent.

1.         We believe hard working teams, filled with the right people, are the core of what make a company great and great to work for.
2.         We're entrepreneurs, friends and partners helping small businesses build teams like ours.
3.         We want to help you hire and manage well without killing your budget, your cash flow or your existing team.
4.         We exist to bring you any product, service or information we can find that will be useful to you, in any way possible.
5.         We want you to love working with us as much as we love working together.
