ABOUT US
Company Overview
1 Talent Solutions partners with growing companies to fill direct-hire roles with professionals who truly fit. We treat every client and candidate with the same commitment: straightforward, responsive service that moves fast and delivers. And because we intentionally limit the number of clients we work with, you get the attention and speed your search deserves.
Our mission is simple: Save clients time by delivering the right talent, fast. We believe the best hires fuel company growth and open doors for the professionals who make that growth possible — a win on both sides of the table.
I have worked with Andrew Proffer at 1 Talent Solutions for 6+ years. He’s done a phenomenal job in helping recruit qualified candidates for the many positions we’ve sent to him. No matter where you are located in the U.S., Andrew is willing to help search for the perfect candidate. Andrew does a great job upfront talking with candidates to make sure they will meet the needs of the role. On several occasions, I have referred potential candidates and other HR contacts to Andrew so that he could help them find a new position/candidate.

Our Values
Organizational Business Partner
1 Talent Solutions functions as an external resource and business partner — not just a vendor. We invest the time to understand your organization deeply, so every step of the process moves with speed and intention.
Efficiency + Speed
We save clients from the time-intensive tasks of screening, interviewing and identifying top talent. A sense of urgency and purpose infuses our work.
Respect your time
Some recruiters submit every warm body and let you sort it out. We take a deliberate, research-driven approach instead. You’ll never receive an unvetted resume from us — only candidates we confidently recommend.
Transparency
We don’t sugarcoat. Honest feedback, realistic expectations, and clear, timely communication — that’s how we build relationships. Good decisions start with good information.
Direct Access
When you work with 1 Talent Solutions, you work with Andrew — start to finish. No handoffs to junior recruiters, no getting lost in a queue. You’ll have direct access, including a cell phone number, because your search deserves senior-level attention throughout.
Diversity
Diverse teams are more productive, more innovative, and more resilient. We champion inclusive recruiting because building a great team means casting a wide net — and that’s good for business.

Andrew Proffer, Ph.D. Managing Director
1 Talent Solutions was founded with a simple belief: Understanding organizations and people is the foundation of great hiring. With a background in Clinical Psychology and 10+ years of business consulting & recruiting experience, he helps companies across the U.S. find candidates who don’t just look good on paper — they truly fit. It’s the kind of behavioral insight most recruiters simply don’t have.
For client companies, this means a business partner who takes the time to truly understand your organization, your culture, and the nuances of the role before ever presenting a candidate. Add in deep curiosity, rigorous research, and firsthand knowledge of diverse industries and occupations, and the result is a process built to find not just a qualified candidate, but the right one — a genuine win for your team and the professionals you bring on board.
