StevenDouglas, a prominent boutique search and interim resources firm, has announced the promotion of Amanda Rassi to Managing Director of its National Human Resources Search Practice. This strategic move underscores the firm's commitment to expanding its HR search capabilities and adding recruiting experts nationwide in response to growing client demand. Rassi will spearhead the growth and development of the national practice, including building a dedicated HR search team and strengthening StevenDouglas' footprint across the United States. She will also be responsible for consolidating the firm's HR recruiting capabilities under a single national practice.
Elizabeth Jacobs, Executive Vice President of StevenDouglas, highlighted the significance of this appointment: "There is a significant opportunity to continue to grow our HR practice nationally and Amanda has built an exceptional reputation in the HR community and a strong national network of clients and HR leaders. This role gives her the opportunity to scale that success, grow the team and further strengthen our capabilities for clients across the country."
Rassi joined StevenDouglas in 2013 and has since developed an extensive national network of HR executives and business leaders. Her practice focuses on senior HR leadership roles, including CHRO, Chief People Officer, SVP and VP of Human Resources searches, as well as leadership positions in Talent Acquisition, Total Rewards, HR Operations, Talent Management, Organizational Development, and HR Business Partners. Her promotion reflects the increasing demand for HR leaders and professionals, which has made the HR practice increasingly visible for StevenDouglas in recent years, with critical C-suite and senior-level placements executed by the team.
The HR Search Practice at StevenDouglas already serves a diverse client base, ranging from emerging and middle-market companies to Fortune 500, privately held, and private equity-backed businesses. The practice offers both retained executive search and professional recruiting, allowing clients to engage StevenDouglas for their most senior HR leaders as well as the teams supporting them. This expansion is part of StevenDouglas' broader strategy to build specialized practices led by recruiters with deep functional expertise, combining strong local market knowledge with national search capabilities.
Rassi commented on her new role: "We have an opportunity to build one of the strongest national HR search practices in the country. By expanding our team and presence in key markets, while operating as one national practice, we are giving our clients access to deep HR expertise, market intelligence and talent relationships across the country." For Rassi, the promotion builds on more than a decade of developing the firm's HR search business successfully and building her network to service clients on a national scale.
The implications of this announcement extend beyond StevenDouglas. As organizations increasingly recognize the critical role of human capital in driving success, the demand for top HR talent has surged. By expanding its national HR search practice, StevenDouglas is positioning itself to meet this demand and help clients secure the leadership needed to navigate complex workforce challenges. This move also signals the firm's confidence in Rassi's leadership and its commitment to investing in specialized expertise.
