Dougherty Solutions since 2003
We connect amazing opportunities with amazing talent.
Most hiring processes miss what actually matters.
Resumes, interviews, and checklists can’t tell you who will truly perform, commit, and lead once the offer is on the table.
At Dougherty Solutions, executive recruiting is both art and science — and the human instinct to read people is the edge. I specialize in filling hard-to-fill leadership and executive roles with white-glove precision, deep intuition, and an uncommon ability to close.
This isn’t volume recruiting. It’s deliberate, relationship-driven placement built on understanding motivation, timing, and fit. Clients work with me when the role is critical, the margin for error is small, and “almost right” isn’t good enough.
If you believe hiring is about more than interviews — we should talk.

I can help guide you in the right direction and develop a talent capturing strategy to meet your hiring needs.
Strategy Consulting
Patricia has helped hundreds of companies hire through the years, so not only are her interviewing tactics different, she will also have a different perspective on the candidates; how to source them, how to interview, to ultimately hire the right candidate. Typically Hiring Right Consulting is by the project, however if there is a future hire, you want to talk through feel free to connect. Hiring is about discovery. My best advise is to hire slow and abandon fast.
