Andrew Schuessler didn't set out to become a recruiter, but like many, he was drawn to the human side of the industry—building careers, fostering connections, and making an impact on people's professional lives. He kicked off his career at Robert Half in their Accounting division, where he spent five years mastering both interim staffing and direct hire placements. Managing a small team, Andrew thrived in the corporate world's fast pace, but a spark for entrepreneurship was always there, and eventually, he decided to make his dream a reality.
Living in San Francisco's iconic Russian Hill, Andrew looked just down the street for inspiration, founding Lombard St. Search Partners as a tribute to the city that had become his home. What began as an accounting and finance recruitment practice quickly evolved; immersed in the dynamic Bay Area startup scene, he found himself fielding more and more requests for technical recruitment. Always one for a challenge, he completed a full-stack engineering bootcamp (JavaScript, Python, Node)—and while he jokes he was a "mediocre coder at best," the experience gave him invaluable insight into the very roles he'd be recruiting for.
Since launching Lombard St. Search Partners in 2019, Andrew has built his business with a hands-on approach, blending industry expertise with a deep understanding of his clients' and candidates' needs. Today, he's passionate about building relationships—whether it's helping individuals find new career opportunities or assisting companies in making their next pivotal hire.
