As Passover begins this weekend, we send warm wishes to all who celebrate. Passover is a time of reflection, remembrance, and resilience—a story of liberation, perseverance, and the enduring power of community. At Relate Search, we honor these values and the spirit of coming together to create meaningful change. To our clients, candidates, colleagues, and friends observing this holiday: may your Seder tables be filled with love, tradition, and the kind of conversations that connect generations. Chag Sameach from all of us at Relate Search! #Passover #ChagSameach #CommunityMatters #CelebratingTogether

At Relate Search, we’re big believers in building strong relationships—not just with our clients and candidates, but with each other. Since we’re a fully remote team, we make it a priority to connect in person every month with our local teammates. This time, our newest Houston associate, Karen Nino, took the lead and chose something a little outside the (Zoom) box… Pilates. Yes, Pilates. She’s a pro. The rest of us? Not so much. But we showed up, we sweat (a lot), and we laughed our way through one heck of a team workout. These monthly get-togethers are one of our favorite ways to deepen connections, step outside our comfort zones, and experience something new together—no laptops required. Shoutout to the Houston squad for showing up, stretching it out, and keeping the vibes high. #RelateSearch #LifeAtRelate #PeopleFirst #RemoteCulture David Armendariz, Hannah Barrier, Billy Whitaker

In her newest blog, The Art of Mentorship: Growth Happens in the Questions, Relate Search’s Recruiter of the Year, Jen Soerensen, reflects on what mentorship really means—and how it’s shaped her journey in recruiting, leadership, and beyond. From her earliest lessons in staying curious to the everyday insights she gains from her teammates, Jen reminds us that mentorship doesn’t require perfection—just presence, empathy, and a willingness to walk beside someone through the ups, downs, and everything in between. If you’ve ever been mentored, mentored someone else, or want to create a culture where growth is built on trust and curiosity—this one’s for you. What’s one lesson a mentor taught you that’s stuck with you? We’d love to hear your experience in the comments. #MentorshipMatters #CareerGrowth #LeadershipDevelopment #RelateSearch

In this clip from the Mixternal Messaging Podcast, Sara Takieddine Luther and David Armendariz reflect on what makes Relate Search special: It’s not just about individual success. It’s about shared success. A sense of ownership—without needing to be told. A natural camaraderie—fueled by putting people first. A team that truly feels invested in where we’re going. Even in an industry that can often feel solitary, the Relate Search team has built something collective. Something meaningful. And it shows—in every win, every collaboration, and every conversation. Watch the clip and share with us: How do you foster a sense of ownership within your team? #RelateSearch #MixternalMessaging #Leadership #PeopleFirst

Nearly half of IT leaders admit they’re afraid to own up to mistakes—and it’s costing companies far more than just missed opportunities. A recent report from Adaptavist reveals that cultures of blame and fear are stifling innovation, compromising cybersecurity, and crushing psychological safety across tech teams. It’s a quiet crisis happening in too many organizations: CIOs and IT leaders are walking on eggshells, unsure when—or if—it’s safe to speak up. At Relate Search, we know that the best leaders don’t avoid failure—they learn from it. And they create environments where others can do the same. It starts at the top, with leaders who model vulnerability, accountability, and trust. CIOs, how are you building a culture that encourages growth, not fear?
