We’re the Big Data & Analytics Industry Experts
By specializing in mission-critical hires for private software companies in the Big Data & Analytics space we’re able to locate and present the most highly qualified candidates available anywhere.
We only perform original search work. This means our searches are custom tailored to each client’s individual needs. This benefits our clients in several ways.
Our clients never get “low hanging fruit” pulled from a file of resumes. Our search begins when our clients present their specific hiring criteria.
The quality control starts with us, saving our clients time, energy, resources, and money. No more pouring through ineligible candidates.
We employ a relentless approach to finding, attracting, and delivering only the most qualified executives to our clients.
Our culture is based on DESIRE, ATTITUDE, and PERSEVERANCE. The very same attributes we expect from the executives we recruit.
Dane Palarino
Founder & President
Founder & President
As founder and principal of DAP Consulting Group, Dane’s vision, when launching the company, was to change the status quo for the Executive Search industry. To date, Dane has placed over 100 executives and delivered north of $100 million in bottom line revenue for private software organizations, establishing himself as the go-to Executive Recruiter for mission-critical hires.
Having spent over 10 years in corporate America working for UBS and Paychex, two of the best in breed for talent, culture and performance, he saw that recruiters who called him had a flawed approach. They were indifferent, and they failed to capture his attention or take interest in his next level career goals. Given such, he saw an opportunity to change the paradigm, and opened the doors to DAP in 2010.
Working to hunt down the top 10% of talent, Dane’s tenacity and relentless pursuit to deliver excellent service to his clients and candidates, are the fundamental components on which DAP Consulting Group is comprised. Outside of the DAP trap, Dane can be found reading, working out, or enjoying his growing family (and not sleeping) – he’s a new father!

Prior to joining DAP, she spent the earlier part of her career as a marketing manager for the fashion & luxury industries, working for IMG Fashion and Mouawad Fine Jewelry. When she’s not at the DAP trap, she can be found mommy-ing or in the kitchen, forcing making her husband to try her new culinary creations!
We may be the most successful recruiter you’ve ever used.
But don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what our clients have to say.
The constant quest to better ourselves is the surest pathway to success.
Development, both professional and personal is a continuous and on-going process, and we believe that if you’re not learning, you’re not growing. Achieving an optimal, peaceful and successful state of mind requires balance in both your professional and personal life.
