High Altitude Recruiting

High Altitude Recruiting is a boutique, nationwide executive recruiting partner focused on the Food & Beverage and Consumer Packaged Goods sectors. The firm delivers full retained search on a flat-fee model, replacing percentage-based commissions with transparent, upfront pricing so clients always know cost before a search begins. Each engagement is led end-to-end by a senior recruiter who embeds with the hiring team to understand culture, business goals, and role impact, then builds a targeted plan to win passive talent. Their process emphasizes true headhunting over job-board activity: market mapping, one-to-one outreach, and thoughtful storytelling that positions each client’s opportunity competitively. Candidates undergo in-depth screening—often 90 minutes or more—covering capability, motivation, and team fit before being short-listed, with clients typically seeing a curated slate of three to five ready-to-interview finalists. High Altitude Recruiting operates with full transparency through a client portal that shows outreach progress and pipeline status in real time, and every candidate is presented with a complete profile including resume, LinkedIn, recruiter insights, and compensation expectations. The firm reports industry-leading outcomes, including a 99% search fill rate and strong one-year retention, supported by more than 75 C-suite and 150 Director/VP placements. Known for its referral-driven growth and repeat partnerships, the team’s track record spans iconic beverage brands and scaling CPG companies alike, from venture-backed startups to mature enterprises. With an emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion, rigorous assessment, and practical, business-first advice, High Altitude Recruiting helps founders and executives build leadership benches that last—without inflated fees or misaligned incentives—so they can focus on growth while knowing each critical hire is being handled with senior attention and precision.
