About Rory Perry

I talk to facility services operators every week who are stretched too thin.They\'re running operations, managing client relationships, putting out fires. And they\'re trying to hire on top of all of that because a key role is open and the workload isn\'t going away.Some have HR teams that are completely swamped because there\'s so much hiring happening at once. Others are doing the recruiting themselves while managing everything else. Either way, the search takes longer than it should, and the strain shows up in the team.For eight years at Garvey Perry Inc, I\'ve recruited exclusively within facility services. Janitorial, landscaping, uniform, pest control. We place leaders at every level from account managers and sales producers to regional operations leaders, finance professionals, HR directors, and C-suite executives.Our clients include privately held operators, PE-backed portfolio companies rolling up local brands, and publicly traded national companies. They work with us because we understand their world: route-based operations, field leadership dynamics, non-competes that vary by state, and what actually predicts success in recurring-service businesses.Here\'s how we work.Flat-fee pricing. I believe the only thing a recruiter should optimize for is the right fit. When our fee doesn\'t change with salary, clients know our compensation advice is honest, not self-serving.One-year guarantee on every placement. If it doesn\'t work out, we go back to the market and run the search again. That\'s how we demonstrate we\'re invested in the outcome, not just the placement.Double screening before presentation. We talk to thousands of people per search to find the short list. We assess motivations, verify compensation expectations, and evaluate whether someone will actually succeed in the role and the culture. Hiring managers only see candidates we would confidently put in front of any facility services company.Our average search takes 45 days. When clients are responsive, we\'ve done it in nine. We send weekly updates so no one has to chase us.The reason clients come back for multiple searches is simple: our process is personal and straightforward, and our hires deliver.If you\'re a facility services leader who needs a recruiting partner that understands your business, I\'m here to help.
