I had the chance to connect with Brian Phifer a few times over the past couple of months during my job search, and I'm genuinely grateful for those conversations. He shared market insights that proved quite useful, along with some creative ideas for getting my resume in front of hiring leaders. His knowledge of the market for communications, corporate affairs and investor relations leaders runs deep, which made him a helpful thought partner as I worked through my search strategy. Brian was generous with his insight in the time we spent together—he even carved out time to talk with me on his wedding day!—and I came away feeling more confident in both my approach and what I bring to the table.

I appreciated the time and the insights from Brian. Our conversation gave me a clearer read on the market, and I put his suggestions to work on my positioning. Sharp, candid, and genuinely helpful. I highly recommend for any senior leader thinking through a career move.

Just got off a call with Brian and I’m genuinely energized.
What stood out immediately was his clear, boots on the ground understanding of what is actually happening in the job market right now. Not the LinkedIn version of reality, but the real one.
As someone who speaks daily with leaders across media, communications, and executive recruiting, Brian has a rare vantage point. He understands where opportunity truly exists, how hiring decisions are really being made, and why so much of what we see online is misleading noise.
Even more valuable was the coaching itself. Practical. Tactical. Grounded in today’s realities. No generic advice. No recycled playbooks. Just smart, applicable guidance that reflects how recruiting and leadership actually work in this moment.
There are opportunities out there, and Brian knows how to find and unlock them. His insight, perspective, and principles are second to none, and I’m excited to put his coaching into action.
Highly recommended and genuinely grateful. Thank you, Brian.

Phifer and Company are one of the best recruiting firms that I have ever worked with. They've been my vendor at two fortune
500 companies. At both organizations, I hired multiple individuals that extremely impressed my C-Suite. We stopped using the big firms due to quality of candidates, Phifer is so well networked they uncovered talent we did not know existed. If I could Phifer & Company a 10-star review, I would!
