Our Network
The Dimensional Search Network
People First HCM operates as a Dimensional Search franchise — part of the Sanford Rose Associates International network. That means our clients and candidates get national infrastructure with genuine local expertise.
The Foundation
What Is Dimensional Search?
Dimensional Search is the franchise network of Sanford Rose Associates International — one of the oldest and most respected names in executive search. With roots going back decades and a network that now spans 175+ offices across the United States, Sanford Rose Associates International is recognized as a Top 10 U.S. executive search firm.
The Dimensional Search model pairs the resources and infrastructure of a national search organization with the accountability and local market knowledge of independently owned and operated franchise offices. Each office brings deep expertise in their specific geography and specialty — and collaborates with the broader network to deliver searches that transcend local limitations.
The network launched 100+ new offices in under two years — one of the fastest expansions in the history of executive search — and continues to grow its footprint, combined experience, and collaborative reach.

People First HCM Within the Dimensional Search Network
People First HCM is a Dimensional Search franchise specializing in HRMS and HCM executive search across the Sun Belt. Within the broader Sanford Rose Associates network, we bring a specific expertise — HRMS platforms and the professionals who run them — and a specific geography — the Southeast and Texas corridor.
That combination of vertical specialization and regional depth makes us uniquely positioned to serve Sun Belt companies and HRMS professionals. We are not a generalist firm with a technology practice. We are an HRMS specialist firm with national infrastructure behind us.
When you work with People First HCM, you get both: the intimate knowledge and personal service of a founder-led boutique firm, and the reach and resources of one of the largest executive search networks in the country.
