About Careers Launch

We are the team that is going to help you transform your future.

Careers Launch provides executive search and outplacement support for companies that need to fill critical roles, or support employees through job loss.

The Careers Launch team

Experience on both sides

Our team has a unique blend of experience across multiple industries and geographies. We've worked on the internal side of talent acquisition and on the HR side of difficult business decisions. We know what good looks like: what hiring managers expect in finding top talent for their roles, and what best practice looks like when a workforce is affected by job loss.

We believe that field experience, combined with our ability to deliver top-tier candidates and excellent customer service, is what sets us apart.

Our story

Careers Launch Talent Group has served clients since 2020 from its headquarters in Mesa, Arizona. In 2024 we merged with Signature Hire, a Phoenix-based talent acquisition firm focused on engineering, construction and manufacturing, and grew our outplacement practice under new leadership. In 2025 we launched a sports division and a partnership with Sports Business Ventures.

2025 was our third consecutive year of 100% year-over-year growth. 81% of our placements were leadership roles, more than half of our business came from repeat clients, and every placement stayed past our one-year warranty.
