Careers
We hire deliberately,
and rarely.
Halverson Reed grows by addition, not by accumulation. We are interested in hearing from senior consultants and operators whose work would extend the firm's tradition rather than dilute it.
How we hire
Halverson Reed is small by intention. The firm’s economics are designed to support partner-led engagements, and the recruiting follows from that. We hire principally at the partner, principal, and senior-engagement-manager levels, and we hire only when we can offer the new colleague the kind of work the firm exists to do.
We do not run a graduate program in the conventional sense. The two-year-out-of-MBA model that the larger consulting houses use would, in our judgment, dilute the firm’s discipline. We recruit junior colleagues selectively and only into roles where the bench supports the kind of mentorship the work requires.
The work, when we hire, is the work the firm is known for: partner-led engagements with mid-market leadership teams on the decisions that define the next chapter of the business. The expectation is high seniority, sustained client relationships, and the willingness to write — both for clients and for the firm’s Perspectives.

Have a candidacy worth a conversation?
Most of the people who join Halverson Reed do so through a sustained, often multi-year conversation rather than a posted opening. We are always glad to begin one.
