About Us

Spinnaker was founded in 2012 in Paoli, PA, with a simple but powerful mission: to raise the bar in professional search by building true partnerships, not just filling roles. While our roots are in the Greater Philadelphia Area, we’ve successfully conducted nationwide searches while maintaining a strong commitment to localized recruiting. In 2022, we established an office in Orlando, FL, with the same dedication to building deep, trusted networks in Central Florida that we’ve cultivated in Greater Philadelphia. Our expertise spans direct-hire, contract/temp, and retained search engagements, supporting organizations from cutting-edge startups to Fortune 500 enterprises across multiple industries.

In an era increasingly driven by AI and automation, we believe that recruiting is still, at its heart, a human business. That’s why we’ve doubled down on our Relationship-First approach. For us, it’s not just about connecting candidates with jobs—it’s about fostering meaningful career opportunities that drive impact. Through the relationships we build and the connections we create, we’ve cultivated a trusted network of IT professionals who rely on us for guidance, insight, and long-term career growth.

At Spinnaker, we are more than recruiters—we are relationship builders and storytellers. We take the time to understand your team’s unique culture and challenges, so we can tell your story in a way that attracts the right talent. Let’s start a conversation and find the people who will help drive your IT organization forward.

Services

Spinnaker specializes in recruiting senior-level Information Technology talent on a direct-hire, contract/temp or retained-search basis. We are engaged by a diverse and selective group of companies ranging from start-ups to Fortune 500 across multiple industry sectors. We have built strong talent networks in the areas of Software Engineering, Infrastructure Engineering and Project Management, nationwide.

Our Process

Job descriptions and candidate resumes only tell half the story. Gaining a holistic understanding of the job opportunity and the culture of the team surrounding it is critical to identifying the right candidate. We know that a successful candidate is more than just their skills on paper – it is how those skills can be best utilized to make an immediate impact on the team’s goals. Our process is dedicated to cultivating meaningful relationships that grow companies and advance careers.

Testimonials

“There is only one partner that we rely on when we have important roles to fill and that is Spinnaker.

There is an art and a science to finding the right talent for companies while simultaneously guiding and advocating for that talent. Spinnaker has an uncanny ability to do just that in an authentic and consistent way. I have worked with vendors who have taken the order for a job, dumped resumes on me, and eventually found people to fill a role, but Spinnaker is not merely a vendor, they are a true partner. They take the time to ask the hard questions of us and helps think through our business needs and how the right people in the right role with the right guidance will succeed for us and for them. Understanding that people can make or break a team and helping to shape how that position will impact our business is invaluable. While we do not hire every candidate Spinnaker has sent us over the years, there has never been a candidate that we’ve interviewed who missed the mark on what we were looking for.

This is why the Spinnaker Team is our exclusive search partners for our most critical roles. It is rare to find this level of partnership, guidance and support. Even and especially in these unprecedented hiring times, Spinnaker keeps delivering for us.”
