Does anyone have recommendations for companies that do recruiting for commercial/BD roles in Houston area? I've been window shopping for opportunities and looking to expand the options. 15+ years of various commercial/BD roles between majors, independents and midstream companies. TIA.

I haven't been in that space in a while, so no best contact unfortunately.

A simple (but maybe time-consuming) way to test the recruiter market would be to flip on your Linkedin 'open to work' with the option to only allow Recruiters to see (so that it's not public). So long as you trust the feature to be as discreet as you need (and provided your profile is up to date), you'll pretty quickly get a .. barrage .. of recruiter interest.

Best contacts would be ones recommended to you, though, of course.

I received this gentlemen's name through a friend one time. Spoke with him on the phone and seemed like a pretty good guy. Can't say that he helped me with a job but I think he has a pretty good network.

Thank you for the recommendation. I'll continue some LinkedIn updating!

Thanks for the name. I'll drop him a note on LinkedIn.
