Carver Talent

Carver Talent is a specialized recruitment agency based in Tampa that focuses exclusively on the media industry. Founded by Ty Carver, who brings decades of experience in recruiting, human resources management, and media industry expertise, the firm positions itself as more than just headhunters. With over 100 years of combined recruiting experience specific to the media industry, Carver Talent has built an extensive network of over 50,000+ connections predominantly in the media space.

Carver Talent specializes in the placement of media corporate executives, management, and sales professionals on a contingency basis. Their expertise spans from C-suite and General Manager positions to Sales Management, News/Content Management, Digital, Marketing, Research, IT/Engineering, Programmatic/OTT/CTV, Creative Services Management, and Sales Account Executives. The firm has assembled what they consider the best recruiting team in the media industry with one clear purpose: to recruit top talent that delivers results.

What sets Carver Talent apart is their extensive passive candidate pipeline with established relationships specific to the media industry. Rather than the traditional 'post and pray' approach, they focus on identifying and engaging the best candidates who are typically already employed and not actively job searching. This approach recognizes that in today's changing media landscape, top performers are usually working and need to be actively recruited.

The firm operates on three core principles: knowing people, knowing the industry, and knowing recruiting. They maintain an expansive database of media industry passive candidates, tracking 'A-Players' and watching their careers develop over years while building trusted relationships. Their team combines deep industry knowledge with proven recruiting expertise, positioning themselves as a 'one stop shop' for all media recruiting needs.

Carver Talent is dedicated to providing businesses with highly skilled professionals who are well-matched not only to specific hiring requirements but also to workplace culture. Their contingency search model offers clients the unique opportunity to compare their best candidates against internal processes without upfront costs, only paying fees when a successful hire is made.
