We say the words “dream team” so frequently, it’s easy to forget how challenging it is to build one. Finding the right talent for a role can quickly turn from a careful and methodical search to a frantic and haphazard fill — and, as we all know, the hiring process can dramatically impact a company and brand’s success, both in the office and in the market. That’s why Amanda Mintz and her recruitment agency are such best-kept secrets. Amanda is remarkably skilled at immersing herself in an organization’s vision, making it easy for her to decipher the precise needs for that business and filter her network of connections accordingly. During her process, she considers all aspects of a company, ranging from the office culture to objectives for the role, before narrowing down her suggestions for sought-after talent. After decades of working with beauty, fashion, and more luxury category brands and finding staff for start-ups and iconic companies alike, Amanda has a truly exceptional roster of experts at her disposal. In fact, many of her clients believe she has a sixth sense for discovering unparalleled talent across a wide range of categories, including creative and marketing. Her track record speaks for itself, and it’s Amanda’s rare ability to combine carefully-honed expertise with an always-personalized experience that’s guaranteed her success. Though Amanda founded her business in 2010, she is newly invigorated by organizations that not only look good, but are genuinely doing good for their communities. After years of watching brands fall into the same toxic patterns for hiring, structuring, and measuring success, she is passionate about working with conscious brands and founders who have genuine intentions to have a positive impact on their communities. By working with teams who are interested in using their platform not just to start trends, but to create change on a global level, Amanda is doing her part to make the world a better place. Despite her profound knowledge of beauty and style, Amanda’s most important asset is her heart. As someone who works intimately with people’s goals, dreams, and values, she considers it her mission to find the sincerest matches between purpose-driven employers and talented employees. This alchemy results in true magic — personal and professional fulfillment for all involved. In addition to running her recruitment agency, Amanda leads a busy and active lifestyle. She loves to be on the move, whether that’s through dancing, skiing, or traveling around the world. Perhaps unsurprisingly, her innate talents for uniting people make Amanda a natural entertainer and host, whether she’s throwing a dinner party or moderating a workshop for entrepreneurs. Amanda also finds joy and meaning in advising and investing in businesses, mentoring others on their career journeys, and — most importantly — any and all time spent with her young daughter, Isabella.
