Company Description
Second Act is a niche recruiting venture dedicated to helping seniors and retirees continue meaningful work by connecting their experience with employers who value proven professionals. Launched in 2016 and co-founded by Jim Fisher and Penny Shuff, the organization emerged from a belief that retirement is being redefined and that older workers can fill pressing talent gaps with reliability, institutional knowledge, and flexibility. Based in West Michigan, Second Act uses a personal, relationship-led matchmaking process to understand each candidates skills, career story, and availability, then aligns them with employers seeking part-time, full-time, contract, project, or mentoring support. The team cultivates employer relationships and advocates for hiring from the 55+ talent pool, encouraging hiring managers to take a second look at qualified senior applicants in a tight labor market. Their job curation reflects practical, high-impact roles such as part-time telephone fundraising positions with nonprofit-focused providers and caregiver opportunities in home health, while also supporting project work and mentorship assignments that leverage decades of professional expertise. For candidates, Second Act offers a supportive path into encore careers, guiding resume submissions and highlighting transferable skills that match todays employer needs; for employers, it provides a trusted channel to dependable, work-ready talent that can step in to fill a need, take on a project, or coach younger team members. Through its Redefining Retirement content and events, Second Act shares data and insights on aging workforce trends and the benefits of age-diverse teams, while its direct resume intake streamlines introductions between candidates and hiring organizations. By combining permanent placement, temporary, and contract matchmaking with advocacy for age-inclusive hiring, Second Act delivers a practical solution that benefits businesses, communities, and experienced professionals ready for their next chapter.
