Roles you will not find posted
When a firm needs the right person before it needs a public search, Dennis can open a quieter conversation around the opportunity.
A quiet invitation for senior leaders
A quiet conversation about what comes next.
You do not need to be actively searching. You may be happy where you are and still be curious about whether the right firm, role, or rhythm exists elsewhere.
Your background caught Dennis’s attention because fit deserves more thought than a job-board message. This is a confidential conversation about your priorities, timing, and options, with no pressure to make a move.
No resume needed 10 minutes Not an interview
Dennis Piller
Founder, Top Performer Search
“The right next move starts with listening, not selling.”
A direct, human conversation for people who value discretion and fit.
A different kind of search
Fit comes before a move.
Dennis looks beyond title and compensation. He wants to understand how you work, who you serve well, and what kind of week you want your next role to create.
Personal fit attention
Culture and capability together
Technical strength matters. So do client focus, leadership style, workload, growth path, and the people you would work beside.
Support when you choose
Guidance without a commitment
If exploring becomes worthwhile, Dennis can help position your experience and prepare for the conversations ahead. You choose when.
What the 10 minutes covers
A useful conversation, even if you stay put.
01
What matters in your next chapter
Career direction, compensation, client work, leadership, location, time, and the parts of your current role worth protecting.
02
What would need to change
The conditions that would make a conversation worth having, including what would make an opportunity a clear no.
03
Whether moving is right at all
Sometimes the best answer is a better conversation with your current firm. Dennis will say that plainly when it is true.
Your timing stays yours
Ready for a private first step?
Send a short request and Dennis will follow up personally. If you are not looking right now, you can still choose to receive relevant opportunities and market updates. That choice is separate from permission to respond to this request.
Your information stays with Dennis.
No resume, application, or public profile is required.
A request is not a booked meeting. Dennis confirms the time privately.
