Colin Boggess

As Managing Director, Executive Search, Colin’s primary focus is shepherding the search process – from intake call to candidate placement. He partners closely with our clients to ensure that Blue Rock’s assigned search team is fully aligned with their vision for the role and is delivering quality results at every step of the process.

With 3+ years’ experience in talent sourcing, market research, and recruiting operations, Colin brings an understanding and appreciation of the technical side of search. Throughout his time at Blue Rock, he has been instrumental in developing and implementing much of the process, infrastructure, tools, and tech that now define and differentiate how Blue Rock executes search. Colin was also a key partner in transforming our employer branding and recruitment marketing efforts, including building and operationalizing the Spec Sheet, a cornerstone of every retained search.

Despite his technical skillsets and contributions, it’s the softer side of search that most authentically aligns with Colin. The relationships, the communication, the partnership. His goal is to “humanize search” – to establish with every client and candidate a foundation of trust, respect, accountability, and open dialogue. Colin believes these ingredients are essential if we want to not only execute successful search but also provide an experience that inspires long-term partnership and friendship.

Prior to Blue Rock Search, Colin was an HR Specialist for Summit Medical Group, East Tennessee’s largest primary care organization. Supporting 1600+ employees across 60 locations, Colin counseled 110+ people leaders on all HR matters, with a strong focus on culture/engagement, employee relations, performance management, and HR compliance
