A Different Kind of Search Firm
Most search firms know how to fill roles. Dana Mastropieri, Chief Partner of Innovative Talent Partners, knows what it feels like to sit on the other side of the table, making the call. After more than 25 years leading Talent Acquisition, she built ITP to deliver the transparency, partnership, and engaged service she and her team became known for. The result: a search partner that doesn't just work for your team, but works as part of it.
For Hiring Organizations You need a search partner who understands your specific needs, knows how to find passive candidates and won't disappear after the kickoff call. We've been in your seat and understand the importance of finding the perfect candidate.

We’ve Been Where You Are.
For more than 25 years, Dana Mastropieri, ITP’s Chief Partner, was the person on the other side of the search firm relationship — as a Vice President of Talent Acquisition inside some of the most demanding organizations in the country. She helped build a reliable and engaged workforce for one of the fastest growing post-acute care companies, scaling this startup from 24 locations and 900 employees to more than 350 sites and 11,500 people. She led recruiting through PE-backed growth, mergers, joint ventures, and the kind of organizational change that doesn't leave any room for a slow hiring process.
She started ITP to offer what she always strived to give internally: a partner who communicates consistently, prices transparently, and cares as much about the outcome and the placement as you do.
