For Employers
Find the HRMS Talent You Actually Need
CHROs, HRIS Directors, and VP HR leaders across the Sun Belt trust People First HCM to find the Workday architects, SAP consultants, Oracle leads, and HRIS directors that make their people operations work. We specialize in HRMS and HCM exclusively — so you get a recruiter who actually knows the difference.
Why Companies Choose People First HCM
Four things that make us different from every other firm you could call.
Pure HRMS & HCM Focus
We don't split attention across dozens of markets. Every search is HRMS or HCM — so when you call us, you're talking to someone who already knows your platform, your talent pool, and what a strong hire actually looks like.
We've Been in Your Seat
Our founder is a U.S. Army Major who led HR at the Director and VP level. We understand what a CHRO actually needs, what a bad HRIS hire costs, and what separates a competent consultant from an exceptional one.
Sun Belt Expertise
Charlotte. Atlanta. Dallas. Houston. Nashville. Tampa. We know these markets from the inside — not as a coastal firm flying in for a placement, but as operators who live and work in the region.
Dimensional Search Network
As part of the Sanford Rose Associates International franchise network, we have 175+ offices and national reach behind every local search. More access, more speed, more candidates.
How It Works
Our Search Process
A structured, transparent process from initial discovery through successful placement — and beyond.
01
Discovery Call
We start by understanding your organization, platform environment, team structure, and the specific capabilities you need. Not just the job description — the real requirements.
02
Candidate Search & Vetting
We activate our network, source from the Dimensional Search platform database, and conduct deep technical and cultural vetting. We don't forward resumes — we present qualified candidates.
03
Shortlist Presentation
You receive a curated shortlist with our assessment of each candidate — strengths, development areas, compensation expectations, and fit considerations.
04
Placement & Follow-Through
We manage the offer process, facilitate the transition, and maintain communication with both parties through onboarding. Our relationship doesn't end at the signed offer.
