Caymus Partners was originally founded in 2010 by Darci Crow to provide recruiting support to a startup firm. In 2022, longtime colleagues Darci Crow and Erin Taft came together with a renewed vision: to build a recruiting firm that prioritizes relationships, transparency, and long-term impact. Drawing on over 20 years of experience in executive and technology recruiting, the founders relaunched Caymus Partners to challenge the traditional agency model and deliver smarter, more strategic hiring solutions.

At Caymus Partners, we go beyond resumes and job descriptions. We take the time to understand the nuances of your business, the dynamics of your market, and the demands of each role — so we can advise with insight and deliver with precision. Whether you’re building your leadership team or scaling your organization, we’re committed to connecting you with exceptional talent and creating lasting value through every placement.

Our team is known for identifying talent others miss — whether by uncovering the true strengths behind a candidate’s experience or conducting deep, off-the-grid research to find professionals who aren’t actively job searching. We’ve helped clients fill mission-critical roles across the country, including C-level and executive leadership positions — and in some cases, placements that have unlocked entirely new markets for growth.

When working with organizations that already have strong internal recruiting teams, we often partner as an extension of their efforts — especially when the role is highly specialized, niche, or uniquely difficult to fill. We bring added horsepower and strategic insight to help teams reach beyond traditional candidate pipelines.

We approach every search with curiosity, creativity, and care. By blending business acumen with a relationship-first mindset, Caymus Partners helps companies grow stronger by hiring smarter.
