Trusted Partnership, Simplified Strength: How the Right Relationships Fuel Results

In a time when complexity and noise seem to be drowning out clarity, something remarkable is happening at Blackmere.

We’ve entered a season of refinement—choosing simplicity over scale, depth over breadth, and clarity over chaos.

As we’ve realigned the business around what truly matters, one truth continues to rise to the surface: The people we choose to work with matter more than anything else.  

That’s why I’m thrilled to share that Blackmere is entering a new chapter through a values-aligned collaboration with my longtime friend and colleague, Tina Hazlett, founder of Spectrum Recruiting Solutions, a well-respected recruiting firm specializing in engineering and manufacturing.

In addition to a 20+ year friendship, Tina and I have walked similar paths—built from grit, led with integrity, and committed to solving real problems for real people. Our areas of specialty are complementary, not competitive. And together, we’ll be able to offer a broader suite of solutions, including expanding Blackmere’s contract recruiting capabilities to support Spectrum’s client base.

What makes this partnership exciting isn’t just the expanded service offering—it’s the foundation of trust that underlies it.

Our world has been reshaped recently, and I believe we’re all hungry for something more.  Something that feels like:

• Work rooted in inter-dependence

• Solutions born from collaboration

• Success that feels sustainable

This is more than business strategy—it’s a personal declaration. 

And that’s the path we’re on now at Blackmere: a business model rooted in trusted relationships, lean operations, and meaningful results. We’re not chasing noise. We’re choosing resonance.

If you’re navigating your own version of reinvention—or seeking a talent partner who leads with both head and heart—I’d love to connect.

Here’s to trusted partnership, shared momentum, and the power of aligned simplicity.

Let’s build what matters.
