“Hiring our first manager with Epic Managers set the bar for the qualities we will look for in the rest of our hires.”
Doug T., Head of Operations, Hammer & Nails
Let us help you build your dream team.
Experienced operators know this absolute truth:
After site selection, your manager has the biggest impact on store performance and your sanity. A bad one can easily cost you twice their salary in damage to the business, while great ones are worth 10x the investment.
But, we’ve seen many operators have to settle for underperformers, simply because finding great managers can be a time consuming crap-shoot.
Life is too short, and your business too important, to be politely finishing hour long interviews with candidates that aren’t a fit only to get stuck hiring a pulse rather than a performer.
We built Epic Managers with our 42 years of combined experience hiring for our own businesses to deliver you qualified store managers who know how to sell and drive team performance, drama free.
Let us find you managers you’ll actually be excited to take to your annual conference.
If that speaks to you, you’re in the right place.

“First of all, thank you! This process is so thorough and worth its weight in gold. I know it’s helping open my eyes to opportunities in my own hiring practices as well.”

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the typical manager search take?
Most searches take between 4-6 weeks. Major markets generally take less time than small markets. Compensation is also a factor.
What happens if the manager I hire doesn’t work out? Do you have a guarantee?
Recruiting agencies that offer a guarantee build that cost into their pricing, even if there is a low likelihood of the client actually using it. Our pricing is on-demand, allowing clients to reactivate a search for a low weekly fee whenever they need it, providing ongoing support in the unlikely event a manager leaves, rather than making you pay for something you don’t need.
Where do you find qualified store managers?
We use a comprehensive approach, including paid ads on all major job boards, resume databases, passive candidate outreach, and our own existing network of A-player manager talent.
Why would I use a recruiting agency when I can just do it myself?
For the same reason you use an attorney for legal matters and a CPA for accounting – deep, specialized expertise in a domain that has significant profit implications. Plus, we save you countless hours chasing mediocre candidates and getting ghosted. We also conduct live interviews with the strongest candidates, only sending you finalists who are fully qualified for the job.
