Our Story
Dominate Your Market. Capture Top Talent. Build a Legacy.
Most recruiters post jobs and hope. We hunt, engage, and secure the right talent before your competitors even know they exist.
At Engaged Headhunters, we don’t play the numbers game. We play to win because there's no room for guesswork when it comes to building elite teams. The best candidates? They’re not applying. They’re busy winning. And that’s exactly who we deliver to you.
What Makes Us Different?
We Don’t Wait. We Dominate.
Too many businesses leave money on the table while their competitors swoop in and hire the talent that should have been theirs. Why? Because they’re using outdated hiring methods, relying on job boards, inbound applications, and passive outreach.
We penetrate the market with a multi-layered, omnipresent talent acquisition strategy designed to capture the attention of high-value professionals even when they’re not actively looking.
How We Own the Talent Market
✔ Industry-Specific Niche Recruiters – Your search is led by experts who understand your industry’s hiring landscape and speak the language of your business.
✔ AI-Driven Talent Sourcing – We leverage Voice AI, Conversational AI, and automated agents to connect with passive and active candidates before they hit the market.
✔ Inbound & Outbound Recruiting Strategies – We don’t wait for candidates to come to us. We find them, engage them, and close the deal.
✔ Social & SMS Engagement – We reach candidates where they spend time on LinkedIn, Instagram, WhatsApp, text, and beyond.
✔ Proprietary Passive Talent Engagement – The best candidates aren’t applying. We cultivate relationships with high-impact professionals long before a job opens.
✔ Confidential & High-Touch Executive Search – To ensure a seamless transition, every placement is handled with discretion, professionalism, and precision.
The Engaged Headhunters Approach
Recruiting is Marketing. Marketing is Recruiting.
Your ability to attract and close top talent is like attracting high-value clients. It’s about:
🔹 Positioning yourself as the authority in your space so that the right people want to work with you.
🔹 Creating demand for your opportunities by knowing how to engage, sell, and convert top talent.
🔹 Make sure your brand is omnipresent so that you're their first choice when the best talent is ready to make a move.
That’s why we go beyond job boards and cold calls. We deploy multi-channel marketing strategies to ensure your company and your opportunities stay top of mind for the highest-performing professionals in your industry.

Meet Our Founder: James Pemberton
From Aviation Electronics to Executive Recruiting: The Mission is Always Precision.
James Pemberton doesn’t operate like a typical recruiter because he’s not a typical recruiter.
After 10 years in the Navy, working on F-14 Tomcats, completing three deployments, and learning the value of discipline, execution, and mission-first thinking, he entered the corporate world only to realize how badly the recruiting industry was broken.
Most recruiters didn’t know how to market.
Most marketers didn’t think about recruiting.
That’s when he saw the opportunity.
Since 2009, James has been mastering the art of talent acquisition. Since 2013, he’s been leveraging SEO and digital marketing to give businesses a competitive hiring edge.
And today? He’s built a recruitment firm that doesn’t just find people. It dominates the market.
Your Next Hire is Already Out There. We Know How to Find Them.
Recruiting isn’t about filling a position. It’s about securing the talent that will drive your company’s future.
We don’t cross our fingers and hope we hunt, engage, and convert.
