Strong leadership is at the core of every successful business. However, many startups face the challenge of finding talented leaders with the right experience. John Boehmer is an executive recruiter with 35 years of experience serving early, mid-, and late-stage software/SaaS/AI and Internet startups of various types. As the founder of the recruiting firm Accelent, Boehmer has matched qualified executives with startups, allowing up-and-coming businesses to find the talent they need to grow.
Accelent focuses on finding talent to deliver the impact required for a company to excel. They believe that world-class talent acquisition must include comprehensive talent integration. Using the innovative accelerated integrated methodology (AIM), Accelent seamlessly integrates talent acquisition and talent integration, optimizing the process while creating an immediate return on the company's executive talent investment.
Since opening its doors in 2010, Accelent has completed 135 searches with a 99% completion rate and a 98% stick rate, well above the industry average. Boehmer has kept Accelent small to focus on more hands-on customer service and availability. As a result, the company has achieved outstanding outcomes with its clients through innovation.
Looking to the future, Boehmer hopes to grow from a team of four to 10 to 20 employees while still maintaining the firm's high standards and customer service. Accelent continues to deliver impressive results to startups navigating the challenges of building a successful business. To learn more about what Accelent has to offer, visit
