John Power, founder of Power People

John Power founded Power People to do direct-hire recruiting his own way.

Founder, Power People · Baltimore, MD

John started in recruiting at Robert Half in 2009, in the middle of the financial crisis, and built a healthcare practice across the Baltimore-Metro region into a national powerhouse. Promoted twice, he became Division Director of the Healthcare team in 2011 and led it through the most successful stretch in the team's two-decade history — leaving as a Vice President and a top 5 healthcare producer in the United States.

It was during his time with Veritas Partners (2019–2026) that he built some of his strongest connections, both internally and externally — earning a partnership along the way and, most importantly, lifelong friends. Since 2017 he's worked exclusively in direct hire and permanent placement. Today he's taking that experience out on his own.

Approach

People are Personal.

Transparency

Straight talk, both directions

Clients get an honest read on the market. Candidates get an honest read on the role — no surprises at the offer stage.

Full-market search

Active & passive talent

The best candidate is rarely the one who applied first. Every search is vetted against the full market, not just the inbox.

Relationships first

Built on trust, not volume

Fifteen years of business development and candidate relationships — the kind that outlast any single placement.

Because Business is Personal.
