Darren Buck reposted thisDarren Buck reposted thisIs AI an existential threat, a tool-kit, or a leadership and business capability? According to Caldwell's Jay Millen and Peter Anselmo, the honest answer is yes, and it depends. Our latest whitepaper digs into what that "it depends" means for boards. From governance guardrails to the accountability that doesn't disappear just because AI is in the room, this is the kind of strategic thinking every board needs before AI adoption outpaces oversight. Read the full whitepaper for the questions your board should be asking now. 🔗 Download Now: https://lnkd.in/eZK9E_xd #CorporateGovernance #AI #BoardLeadership #ExecutiveSearch

Darren Buck reposted thisDarren Buck reposted thisInvestments, AI, and media are rewriting the business of sport, and the boldest leaders are driving the change. Caldwell's Peter Anselmo will be at SportsPro New York (March 12–13), connecting with the executives at the center of it all. Are you: - A PE or investment leader identifying the next big opportunity in sport? - Leading AI adoption inside a franchise, league, or rights holder? - A media executive rethinking content, distribution, and monetization? The talent decisions you make today will determine who wins tomorrow. Peter would love to connect and hear your perspective. See you there! https://lnkd.in/e85J-3wr #SPNY #Sports #SportsLeadership

Darren Buck reposted thisDarren Buck reposted thisCaldwell Partners had the privilege of hosting Dr. Scott Penberthy from Google at our recent partner conference. Dr. Penberthy delivered an engaging and thought-provoking presentation, highlighting how AI and advanced computing are contributing to the mission of eradicating cancer. His work, along with his team and network of collaborators, is making significant strides towards finding a cure for pancreatic cancer, one of the most challenging forms of the disease. Dr. Penberthy's message of hope, fueled by passion and tangible results, resonated deeply with us. In recognition of his impactful work, Caldwell Partners made a donation to the Lustgarten Foundation, which supports advancements in genomics and immunotherapy research for pancreatic cancer. We are grateful for the inspiration he provided.

Darren Buck liked thisDarren Buck liked thisSummer Tour stop #8 brought me to Cookeville, TN. Cookeville was the largest gathering so far, and it was incredible to see so many #changemakers in one room. Several members of the Omni leadership team joined me for this stop, and it was a great opportunity to hear the stories of impact, celebrate what’s happening across our teams, and talk about the opportunities ahead. Just like every stop before it, the questions came quickly, and they didn’t let me off easy! That’s what happens when people care deeply about the mission. Our changemakers aren’t afraid to ask tough questions, share their perspectives, and help us keep growing in the right ways. Cookeville was a great example of that.

Darren Buck liked thisDarren Buck liked thisI'm excited to announce the launch of a new podcast: Two Guys in Ties, hosted by Mitch McDermott and me. Over the course of my career, I've had the opportunity to work with thousands of executives, entrepreneurs, and business leaders. One thing I've learned is that the conversations that shape careers are rarely the ones everyone gets to hear. They happen in boardrooms, over coffee, and through honest conversations with people who've been there before. That's the inspiration behind Two Guys in Ties. Insider strategies to land better jobs, earn more, and build the career you actually want. Each week, Mitch and I will share practical insights and real-world lessons on leadership, career advancement, hiring, networking, business development, and personal growth. Whether you're an emerging professional, a seasoned executive, or an entrepreneur building a business, our goal is to share conversations and strategies that help you grow. Our producer, Regan Douglas (Amigleo), also brings an important perspective to each episode, representing the questions, challenges, and opportunities facing the next generation of leaders. We'll also introduce Dream Job Bootcamp, where we'll coach one individual through the process of pursuing their dream job and share the lessons along the way. We're actively looking for participants, so if you or someone you know is ready to take the next step in your career, we'd love to hear from you. The first episode premieres this Thursday, with new episodes every Thursday. My hope is that these conversations help you navigate your own career with greater confidence and clarity. I'd love to hear what career and leadership topics you'd like us to explore in future episodes. #TwoGuysInTies #Leadership #CareerGrowth #ExecutiveSearch #Podcast

Darren Buck liked thisDarren Buck liked thisExciting new role at Allermi: a General Manager to build and run our new B2B category involving meaningful partnerships as well as provider marketing. The scope includes strategy, commercial partnerships, provider channel, KOL relationships, and the team you'll build. Anchor partnerships are already engaged and the strategy is defined, and this is poised to be a major part of our business in coming years. For context, we're a physician-founded prescription telehealth brand. 100,000+ patients treated with 4.7 stars across 17,000+ verified reviews, and we're on track to double in the next 12 months. We're looking for someone who has run a business, channel or complex partnerships end to end. Healthcare experience valued. The public posting is intentionally light on details. Reach out and I'll walk you through the specifics. Shani Bocian Steinberg

Locums Agencies The locums market is growing, but most agencies are still operating on infrastructure built for a different era. Recruiters are chasing documents. Providers are repeatedly filling out the same applications. Credentialing lives in email chains and shared drives. And submissions slow down because the documentation is never clean. This is exactly the problem we are solving at Praos Health. Praos is building a clinician-centric platform designed to accelerate placement velocity and remove the administrative drag between provider interest and clean submission. Instead of chasing documents, agencies can operate with: • The Praos Clinician Briefcase – a living credential wallet owned by the provider • Automated document validation and expiration tracking • Mobile-first onboarding through the Praos app • Faster provider engagement and response to new opportunities • Integration capabilities with ATS, VMS, and MSP platforms • Cleaner submissions and faster recruiter throughput We are not replacing recruiters. We are removing the friction that slows them down. Our experience in allied and travel nursing has shown that when credentialing and documentation are automated, submission velocity and recruiter productivity increase dramatically. Now we are bringing that same infrastructure into the locums market. If you operate a locums agency and want to modernize how providers manage credentials and how quickly recruiters can move candidates to submission, I would welcome the opportunity to connect. I'm scheduling short discovery calls with agency leaders to learn about your current workflow and determine whether Praos could support your operation. Send me a message here on LinkedIn or reach out directly. Todd Starlin Director of Business Development Praos Health

The most dangerous question for staffing firms in 2026: “How much can we grow?” The better question is harder, and more honest: "Where can we grow profitably, predictably, and sustainably?" This is where firms get tripped up: - Chasing volume that erodes margin - Saying yes to high-chaos, low-trust accounts - Confusing activity with progress Growth that looks good on paper but drains focus isn’t growth. It’s noise. In selective growth environments, clarity beats speed. And restraint becomes a competitive advantage.

I attended a Staffing Industry Analysts webinar last week. The Webinar covered trends in various Staffing markets, most notably Technology. Some of the key takeaways are below. The recovery is real. 🟡 Tech Staffing was -10% in 2023. -6% in 2024. Forecast to return to growth in 2026. ⚫ 40% of Tech firms reported revenue growth in December. In April, that number was flat. 🟡 New orders are following the same direction. Not all of Tech is recovering equally. The roles and disciplines seeing the strongest demand: 🟡 Cyber — ransomware/phishing incidents are accelerating client spend here. ⚫ Cloud — clients are building the infrastructure AI actually needs. 🟡 Data — the foundation that underpins everything AI related. ⚫ Product — strong bill rate and volume growth. There was a consensus that software developers and web developers were under the most pressure. AI is compressing demand at the commoditized end of that market. The smarter firms are moving into Solutions. 🟡 Margin in pure staffing is tight. ⚫ IT consulting and solutions businesses are running significantly higher gross margins. 🟡 Clients want partners, not just suppliers. ⚫ IT Solutions now accounts for 27% of combined IT revenue — up from 24% just a year ago. Finally, the impact of AI is less dramatic than the headlines suggest. Three public company CEOs said broadly the same thing last week. 💬 Client infrastructure isn't ready. 💬 Spend is actually going up in cloud, security and modernization. 💬 The disruption is real but narrow. The compression is happening at the commoditized end. The specialist, senior end of the market remains intact. Clarity R2R | Staffing Industry Analysts | James Ward | Marcus Davies
