Frequently Asked Questions

Horse Power Partners is a recruiting and talent placement firm connecting exceptional candidates with employers across a wide range of professional and executive sectors.

Our founders bring complementary experience and extensive professional networks. India Wilkinson has deep connections within the equestrian, animal health, and agricultural industries, while Laurie Collings brings an extensive network across the broader business community.

Together, we combine recruiting expertise, industry knowledge, and decades of relationship-building to help companies find the right people for their teams.

We recruit for a wide range of permanent positions, including sales, marketing, operations, customer service, finance, management, executive leadership, and specialized industry roles.

We start by learning about your company, the position, and the type of person who will be successful in the role. We then source, screen, and identify qualified candidates who we believe are a strong fit.

Once we have identified suitable candidates, we schedule a brief call with the client to review their backgrounds and résumés. From there, the client conducts its own interview and selection process. We remain involved throughout the process to help facilitate communication and keep things moving.

There are no upfront fees to begin a search. Our placement fee is only due if you hire a candidate introduced by Horse Power Partners.

Fees and terms are clearly outlined in our recruiting agreement before the search begins.

Not at all! While we have an extensive network within the equestrian, animal health, and agricultural industries, Horse Power Partners recruits across a broad range of professional and executive sectors.

We chose the name “Horse Power” because it represents strength, energy, drive, and forward momentum — qualities we believe are just as important in business as they are in the equestrian world.

Yes. We recruit for remote, hybrid, and on-site opportunities throughout the United States.

Our approach is highly personalized and relationship-driven. We combine decades of experience in recruiting, executive leadership, marketing, business, and the equestrian industry with extensive professional networks across multiple sectors.

Those relationships allow us to reach not only active job seekers, but also talented professionals who may not be actively looking for a new opportunity.

We take the time to understand both the employer and the candidate because our goal isn't simply to fill a position — it's to make the right match.

Yes. We can work with employers on confidential searches when discretion is required and will discuss the appropriate process with you before beginning the search.

No. There is never a fee for candidates to submit a résumé, apply for a position, or be represented by Horse Power Partners.

Candidates can submit their résumé through the Horse Power Partners website. Your information becomes part of our candidate network, allowing our recruiting team to consider you for both current and future opportunities that align with your experience and career goals.

Once your résumé is submitted, you will receive an email confirming that we have received it.

Our team will review your experience and qualifications and keep your information in our candidate network. When we identify an opportunity that we believe could be a good fit, we will contact you directly to discuss it.

Submitting a résumé does not guarantee an interview or placement, but it ensures that our team can consider you when relevant opportunities arise.

No. We believe candidates should always know where their information is being sent.

We will communicate with you about the position and the company before presenting your résumé or information to an employer. You will have the opportunity to determine whether you are interested in moving forward before we make an introduction.

Absolutely. If you see multiple opportunities that align with your background, experience, and interests, you are welcome to apply.

We still encourage you to submit your résumé. New opportunities are added regularly, and having your information in our candidate network allows us to reach out when a position becomes available that matches your experience.

Not every opportunity we work on will necessarily be publicly posted, so being part of our candidate network can also help us connect with you about positions you may not otherwise see.

No recruiting firm can guarantee placement. Our goal is to create strong, long-term matches between talented candidates and employers where both have the opportunity to succeed.

Follow Horse Power Partners and check our website regularly for current openings. Candidates in our network may also be contacted directly when we identify an opportunity that aligns with their background and experience.
