Troy Beane
I run your search.
Veteran-led. Built for owners.
"Troy found us the perfect candidate in days not weeks or months."
We run your search like a mission. Clear plan, named lead, written report every week.
Our search slate is veteran-only. Your company does not need to be veteran-owned.
First questions we ask
HVAC service manager
How many after-hours calls a week land on you right now?
Mechanical PM / estimator
Is the work union, open shop, or both? Has this person dealt with a business agent?
Construction PM
Do you need someone who runs the job, or someone who bids it?
Manufacturing plant manager
Who runs second shift today, and does that person stay?
Logistics ops lead to president
Is this person running operations, or being groomed to run the company?
Family business GM
Who in the family is in the business, and are they part of this plan?
The Journey
Four steps to the right hire. Diagnose. Design. Search. Place.
Leadership Diagnostic
We scope the seat properly before anyone sources a name, so the search is aimed at the real gap.
Scope and terms are set in a proposal after we understand the seat, not on a public rate card.
What the work gives you
We show the method in public. Terms come in a proposal once the role is scoped with you.
The seat scoped honestly
What the role has to carry, and what it will cost you if it stays empty or goes wrong.
A short list you can trust
A short list of people we would stand behind, not a volume of applicants.
A disciplined process
Structured screening and assessment, with status you can see the whole way.
A landing that holds
The first 90 days planned, so the hire takes hold instead of drifting.
Start a conversation about the role
One private conversation to scope the seat. No obligation. Terms are set privately after we understand the seat.
Frequently asked questions
What is a retained search with VXL?
It is an exclusive search where we scope the seat, design the search around your culture, run the market, and stay through placement. I run it with you from start to finish.
How is retained search different from posting a job?
A job post brings a stack of resumes. We bring a short list of people we checked out and would stand behind, with status you can see the whole way.
What roles does VXL fill?
We fill the seats that let a business run without the owner carrying every decision. For owner-led companies of 10 to 150 employees, that means service managers, plant managers, project managers, GMs, operations leaders, and branch leaders.
What do I get at the end of a search?
The right leader in the seat and a first 90 days planned so the hire takes hold. We stay through the close and the landing.
