StevenDouglas Elevates Amanda Rassi to Lead National HR Search Practice

StevenDouglas, a leading boutique executive search and interim resources firm, has promoted Amanda Rassi to Managing Director of its National Human Resources Search Practice. The move underscores the firm's commitment to expanding its HR search capabilities and adding HR recruiting experts across the country in response to growing client demand. For Texas businesses, this means enhanced access to specialized HR talent at a time when competition for human capital leadership is fierce.

Rassi, who joined StevenDouglas in 2013, will lead the growth and development of the national practice. She will build out an HR search team and strengthen the firm's footprint across the U.S., while unifying its HR recruiting capabilities under one national practice. "There is a significant opportunity to continue to grow our HR practice nationally and Amanda has built an exceptional reputation in the HR community and a strong national network of clients and HR leaders," said Elizabeth Jacobs, Executive Vice President at StevenDouglas. "This role gives her the opportunity to scale that success, grow the team and further strengthen our capabilities for clients across the country."

Rassi's practice focuses on senior HR leadership searches, including CHRO, Chief People Officer, SVP and VP of Human Resources roles, as well as leadership positions in Talent Acquisition, Total Rewards, HR Operations, Talent Management, Organizational Development, and HR Business Partners. Her extensive national network of HR executives and business leaders positions her to connect Texas companies with top-tier talent.

StevenDouglas has served organizations ranging from emerging middle-market companies to Fortune 500, privately held, and private equity-backed businesses. The HR Search Practice provides both retained executive search and professional recruiting, allowing clients to engage the firm for their most senior HR leaders and the teams supporting them. The promotion of Rassi was a natural next step as demand for HR leaders has made the practice increasingly visible, with critical C-suite and senior-level placements executed by the team.

"We have an opportunity to build one of the strongest national HR search practices in the country," Rassi said. "By expanding our team and presence in key markets, while operating as one national practice, we are giving our clients access to deep HR expertise, market intelligence and talent relationships across the country."

This announcement is part of StevenDouglas' broader strategy to build specialized practices led by recruiters with deep functional expertise, combining strong local market knowledge with national search capabilities. For Texas, a state with a dynamic and rapidly growing business landscape, the expansion could mean better access to HR leadership talent essential for scaling operations, managing workforce challenges, and driving organizational success. As companies in Texas and beyond navigate an evolving labor market, StevenDouglas' enhanced national HR practice is poised to play a key role in filling critical human resources positions.
