Design the
Career You Want

I worked with Tawn on my last two job searches – the first to get out of a bad job environment and the second to relocate closer to family.  Both times, she was a joy to work with.  Not only was Tawn prompt, knowledgeable and thorough, she was kind as well.  This was so important because she truly cared about my happiness and my career growth.  Thanks to Tawn, I am now in my dream job!

I was first referred to Tawn at Architect Search in 2020 after a RIF/layoff, and a coworker spoke so highly of her that I immediately felt confident reaching out. From the very beginning, she was incredibly attentive, genuinely listened to my needs, and made me feel understood. Thanks to her insight, she matched me with a company that aligned beautifully with my values and the way I like to work.

When I contacted her again in 2025 due to unexpected circumstances, she delivered once again. Tawn has a gift for communication. She explains what a company is looking for, how their culture works, and how to navigate any areas that might seem like a mismatch. One of those areas actually turned into a success story once I joined. The company even adopted a tool I prefer, and the team has been thrilled with the results. Her coaching on how to approach that topic in interviews made all the difference.

Both times when I partnered with Tawn, she has connected me with opportunities where I can grow and truly thrive. I am sincerely grateful for her guidance, her support, and the confidence she helps me bring into every interview. I trust her expertise completely, even when I have not seen a written job description, because she has an incredible ability to match people with the right environment. I highly recommend working with Tawn and Architect Search.

Tawn has helped me land my dream job not once, but twice now! The first time I worked with her I was looking for a new firm during Covid and she turned that tough time into a wonderful opportunity and got me a great position with a firm I loved. Recently, when I was looking for the next step in my career, I went straight back to her and she came through yet again. She placed me with a firm doing the work I’ve always wanted to focus on. Both times, Tawn exceeded my expectations. She doesn’t just find you A job, she finds you THE job! Tawn will always listen to what you want — she knows what you need and then she works to make it happen. Tawn and Architect Search have been instrumental in my career growth, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. If you’re looking to advance your career in architecture, Tawn and Architect Search is who you want in your corner!

Tawn was more than someone I worked with to find a good position.  She advocated for me and truly listened to my needs by providing insight into my professional development.  I would never have found this anywhere else!

I highly recommend Tawn Spence at Architect Search, whose efforts and diligence helped me find my current position as Director of Architecture. Based on my experience as well as need to take my career to another level, Tawn was an incredible guide on this journey.  She listened to what I believed was the position I needed as well as consulted me on other career matters. Her advice on the interview process was extremely beneficial.  Tawn, was my advocate during the process and without her, I may still be looking.

Tawn first helped me in my job search almost ten years ago!  She went above and beyond and was very responsive.  Tawn made sure that I was always very well prepared for my interviews and her advice was invaluable.  I highly recommend Tawn and Architect Search!

As a new college graduate, working with Tawn was a blast!  She helped me find my first architecture job after I had no luck on my own.  Her interview and job tips were a godsend. Taw, is a great person and I now consider her a friend as well!
