Executive Search & Leadership Advisory
For Mission-Driven Organizations and Complex Hiring Decisions
Trusted by organizations where leadership choices impact strategy, governance, and community outcomes.
Talent Connect Executive Search & Leadership Advisory is a boutique search firm supporting organizations where leadership decisions shape strategy, governance, and mission impact.
Founded by executive recruiter and HR leader Lizzette Weber, the firm brings over 25 years of experience advising organizations on leadership hiring, workforce strategy, and organizational growth across the U.S. and Mexico.
Talent Connect specializes in
senior leadership and mission-critical searches, helping boards and executive teams identify leaders capable of navigating complex operational, regulatory, and community environments.
Open roles are no longer just a recruiting issue.
Across healthcare, nonprofit, manufacturing, and commercial organizations, prolonged vacancies and hiring strain are quietly impacting leadership bandwidth, service delivery, retention, and growth—often before the risk is fully visible.
Talent Connect works at the intersection of talent, operations, and leadership, helping organizations determine whether they need faster hiring, added capacity, or a more strategic response.
Our Services
Executive Search & Critical Role Placement
Targeted executive and mission-critical searches where the cost of a mis-hire is high.
Workforce Risk Intelligence™ Advisory
A diagnostic-led advisory framework helping leaders identify workforce exposure, stabilize pressure points, and align hiring decisions with operational reality.
Strategic Talent Partnership & Recruiting Support
Flexible recruiting capacity that integrates with your team—without adding headcount.
HR Advisory & Workforce Strategy
Compliance, workforce planning, and HR operational support aligned to business goals.
Our approach ensures the solution fits the level of workforce exposure,
rather than defaulting to one-size-fits-all recruiting.
Workforce Risk Intelligence™
A diagnostic-led framework for leaders who need clarity before action.
Workforce Risk Intelligence™ helps executive and HR leaders:
- Identify when vacancies are creating organizational exposure
- Understand the operational and leadership impact of hiring strain
- Choose the right response before problems escalate
- This framework ensures hiring decisions are informed by risk, impact, and context—not urgency alone.

- Nonprofit President & CEO
As we expanded our global manufacturing operations into Tijuana, recruiting strong leadership quickly was critical to our success. After evaluating several search firms, we selected Talent Connect to lead the search for our management team across manufacturing, quality, and regulatory functions. Talent Connect delivered a highly qualified slate of candidates, thoroughly vetted against our critical competencies, and we hired our first-choice leaders within 45 days. Their client-first, disciplined approach made them a trusted partner as we build our Tijuana team.
