United Business Consultants (UBC) · Recruiting, HR and business consulting
The exact person. Not the best available applicant.
Most firms fill roles. United Business Consultants (UBC) finds the people who aren't applying, aren't browsing job boards and aren't on anyone else's radar, then brings them to the table ready to move. Retained search, scalable recruiting, white-label delivery and fractional HR from one partner-led team.

Why UBC
Small and precise. Built for high-impact hires.
Most agencies wait for applicants. We pair our proprietary AI with partner-led outreach to identify, engage and land the person you actually want, usually someone who wasn't looking. You work directly with the partners, and the people who run the company run your search.
Meet the firmYears of HR leadership from Greg Davis, our SHRM-certified strategic HR consulting partner.
Years of recruiting and sourcing from founder Bob Collins, including large-scale hiring for Fortune 500 companies.
Integrated services under one partner, so search, recruiting and HR work from the same plan.
Hiring expertise with HR depth
The right hire for the team you are building.
A great resume is not the same as the right hire. We know the markets you are hiring in, we bring an HR advisor's view of culture and team fit, and we read people well. Our proprietary AI, built on Perplexity and Claude, gives us the market and talent insight fast. Our partners bring the judgment.
The engine · Proprietary AI
- Market insightWhat the talent market looks like where you are hiring: pay, competition for the skill set and where the people are.
- Talent mappingFinds people by what they have actually done, not the title on their profile.
- Candidate insightOrganizes each person's background, work style and motivations so you compare people, not resumes.
The human touch · UBC partners
- Elite recruitingPartner-led search and personal outreach to people who aren't looking, through offer and start date.
- HR and culture expertiseDecades of HR leadership on how to structure the team, build the culture and keep the people you hire.
- Personality and team fitWe learn how the hiring manager leads and how the team works, then assess each candidate for how they will fit, not just what they have done.
Who we serve
From your first leadership hire to a national hiring plan.
We work with founders making their first key hires, mid-sized companies moving through growth or transition, and established organizations modernizing how they recruit. Some clients need one critical leader. Others need a recruiting team that grows with them.
Consultants and advisors use UBC behind their own brand to deliver hiring for their clients.

Engage
Direct, discreet outreach to candidates who aren't on the market, until they are aligned and interested.
Land
We bring them to the table vetted and ready to move, then see the hire through offer and start date.
