I highly recommend Pop-Up Talent as a trusted recruiting partner. Andrew, Lucy, and the team have been wonderful to work with over the years. They take the time to truly listen and understand exactly what we are looking for in a candidate, and their attention to detail has always been exceptional. What has consistently stood out to me is their communication, professionalism, and genuine partnership. They are thoughtful, responsive, and make the entire process feel easy and collaborative. Many of our strongest final candidates were sourced directly through Pop-Up Talent rather than through traditional job boards, which really speaks to the quality of their work and network. Beyond their expertise, they bring a personal touch that makes you feel like more than just a client. Working with Pop-Up Talent feels like working with a trusted friend, and I'm grateful for the partnership we've built over the years.

Andrew and his team at Popup Talent were referred to me by a marketing partner in early 2026. Their process for finding talent is fair, efficient, and netted my company, Foxxr, great results. Highly recommended if you are looking for an excellent recruiting partner.

We've partnered with Zina at Pop Up Talent to recruit for several key roles within our organization, and the experience has been exceptional. As an employer, it's critical to enter the hiring process equipped with the right insights and resources to make thoughtful, strategic decisions, not just smart commitments, but the right ones. Zina brings a wealth of knowledge across multiple areas and ensures we're fully prepared before launching any search. She and her team remain actively involved throughout the entire process. It truly feels like they operate as an extension of our organization and the role we're hiring for, rather than an outside recruiter. If you're looking for a recruiting partner who prioritizes alignment, preparation, and long-term success over quick placements, Zina is someone I would confidently recommend.

I had the pleasure of working with Pop-Up Talent during our recent recruitment efforts, and I couldn't be more impressed with the experience. Their team was proactive, thorough, and consistently diligent in every stage of the process. They took the time to truly understand our needs, proving themselves to be excellent listeners who were always open to feedback. Thanks to their commitment and expertise, we successfully hired three exceptional candidates who will make a strong impact on our organization. Pop-Up Talent delivered high-quality talent quickly and seamlessly, making the entire recruitment process smooth and efficient. I highly recommend Pop-Up Talent to any organization looking for a recruitment partner that brings professionalism, insight, and outstanding results. Thank you Andrew and Rishel for an exceptional experience, we will reach out for our next hire!

As the Chief Revenue Officer of a smaller company, internal recruiting resources are limited. When I needed to hire several new salespeople, I reached out to Andrew at Pop-Up Talent for help. Not only did they find two salespeople for me, but also a VP International Sales. They did such a good job that their work here quickly expanded to include hiring a head of HR and other roles. I love their model, recruiting as needed at a reasonable cost, but with a single consistent recruiter that we can call on as required. Brooke has been stellar, and she has lots of fans here. Recommended.

Pop Up Talent has been a wonderful partner to work with. They have found high quality candidates for us, quickly. They are really good at what they do!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Zina and her team at Pop-Up Talent on a critical job search. It was an excellent experience at every level. They were pleasant and professional and provided outstanding candidates for us to consider, including the person we chose to join our team. Thank you, Zina!

Andrew and Popup Talent were easy to work with and highly effective filling a role for us recently. I will use their services again and recommend them to you!

Andrew Adelman and his company, Popup Talent, have been a critical resource for us for the past two years. Their recruiting model just simply works better. They have assisted us with filling critical roles in record time at a nominal cost. I highly recommend them!
James Amlicke
Co-Owner and COO/CFO, Pacific Ridge Builders · May 2024
Andrew is an efficient cost effective recruitment service. Successful employment placement on multiple occasions... we would recommend his company without reservation.
John Ziegler
President and CEO, STG Asset Management · May 2024
I always knew that Andrew would have my back when I needed additional support.
Kelly Getz
Talent Acquisition Manager, SJS Industrial · March 2024
Andrew has been great to work with. He is a true professional, whose follow up is excellent. He brings strong recruiting strategies and ideas to the table and has been a wonderful partner to the Janek team. I would highly recommend working with Andrew.
Nick Kane
Managing Partner, Janek Performance Group · March 2024
Andrew and his team are phenomenal. We recently sourced a GM candidate for a roofing company with them and the process was smooth, fast, and high quality. The cost was also much more reasonable than other recruiting companies. We will definitely work with them again!
Jason Nesbitt
Owner and CEO, Keith Roofing · February 2024
We worked with Zina and her team at Popup Talent when it came to hard to fill positions especially with a real estate industry experience. The expertise that they brought to the table provided good candidates for us even during the pandemic where everyone was competing for talents. They are flexible and able to understand our needs. Thank you for your assistance.
Marybeth Sosa
Vice President of Human Resources, PCV Murcor · September 2023
Looking for a different approach to recruiting? I highly recommend giving Andrew and Pop-Up Talent a call. We will never use another recruiting firm again. Pop-Up Talent is not like other recruiting firms and has a much more direct and simple approach to finding talent and helping fill positions. I only wished we would have known about Pop-Up Talent earlier.
Thomas Newman
CEO, Pacific Ridge Builders · August 2023
Andrew and his team do an amazing job of integrating with your existing recruiting process and understanding your business needs. All of the people we've hired from Popup Talent have been great additions to our team.
Andrea Servadio
Strategic Planning and Business Design · April 2023
Andrew and his team at Pop-Up Talent were a great help to our one-person HR Department. Our dedicated recruiter took the time to get to know our company's needs and processes and brought highly qualified candidates to us for a fraction of the cost than if we had used a traditional recruiter with a 22-27% finder's fee. In addition, candidates seem to respond more favorably to cold calls if they come from a representative of the company rather than a recruiter.
Jennifer Wright
Human Resources Manager · April 2023
The Popup Talent team was very efficient, professional, and demonstrated their extensive experience during a couple of brief searches I did with them. They helped me think through some of our search strategy as well. A great value. I'd be glad to work with them again.
Dan Dodson
CTO, Climate Central · February 2023
Zina assisted Sapphire with finding new writing talent. Historically, our company struggled to find strong writers that knew or would learn the niche fields we work in. If we did job listings, we'd get maybe 5 resumes, with 0-1 ideal candidates. However, Zina and Popup delivered 20+ resumes with strong qualifications. Since good talent is worth its weight in gold, I am optimistic that this search will be proven fruitful and Zina's services will have been worth every penny.
Leo Falgout
Security, Technical Writing and Compliance, Sapphire · February 2023
It is my pleasure to recommend Pop Up Talent. I have been working with Pop Up Talent for about two years. The service they have provided has been excellent. Last year we hired over 20 staff that they referred. Zina is wonderful to work with. She is responsive and understands our business needs. We could not be more pleased with our recruiter Kim. She does an impressive job of screening candidates and only sending us those that meet our requirements. We also appreciate the pricing structure and flexibility they provide. When we have multiple staffing needs we can easily increase the number of hours they work. I highly recommend Pop Up Talent.

I am grateful for your assistance in efficiently helping ThinOptics recruit the right people and talents in such a short time. Your expertise and dedication to finding the perfect fit for our company made the process smooth and stress-free. Your attention to detail and ability to understand our specific needs helped us find the right candidates for our open positions. The speed at which you could identify and present qualified candidates was impressive and greatly appreciated. We are thrilled with the new team members that have joined our company and have no doubt that they will be valuable assets to our team.
Gadi Ponte
CEO and CoFounder, ThinOptics · December 2022
Working with Andrew and Popup Talent has been a very positive experience. After a short time, we already have qualified candidates for an executive role. Andrew has also been accessible when needed to discuss anything that came up during the process; we would be on a Zoom call that same day, or the next. Highly recommend, and would definitely use their services again in the future.
Ashley King, PHR
Senior Human Resources Director, Shalom Austin JCC · September 2022
I was referred to Andrew and his team at Pop Up from another business owner that had used them in the past. Their agreement structure is very different than most recruiters I have seen and a much better fit for most companies. Within one week we had multiple strong candidates and by the end of week 2 we had found our hire, thanks to our awesome recruiter, Kali. Hiring such an in demand position (Lead Developer) would be an absolute nightmare for our small company. Pop Up made it a breeze. Having a delightful hiring process is not something I thought could be done until I worked with this company, highly highly recommend!
Ben Stoodley
CEO, BEST Lending Co · July 2022
Andrew and Pop-Up Talent have been great partners in helping us find amazing individuals to grow our team. Responsive, thoughtful, and effective. Highly recommend.
Eric Ellis
Founder and CEO, Disruptive Games · June 2022
We worked with Zina and the Pop-Up talent team on two separate businesses for outsourced talent acquisition services. Zina and her team were very professional and detailed in trying to find resources that aligned with our job profiles. The team was good enough that I reached out a second time for another engagement! I recommend any business that is in need of talent acquisition solutions to reach out to Zina and her team.
Vasishta Monavarty
Pine Propane · June 2022
Very effective and efficient working model for talent acquisitions. And the team has the right tools and processes to discover candidates we would not have been able to do on our own. Highly recommended if you don't have your own TA army.
Bassel Ojjeh
CEO, LigaData · March 2022
We engaged the services of Pop-Up Talent to help us find a couple of experienced professionals, and they did an excellent job. They presented multiple qualified candidates very quickly, and at a very reasonable fee. I'll use them again!
Paul Hoyt

I engaged Pop-Up Talent to help us build out our organization. We are really pleased. Andrew and his team have this innate ability to see and source talent quickly. Focused, decisive and very efficient. Highly recommended.
Allan Spivack
Founder, RGI Home · March 2021
Love Pop-Up Talent's business model, it has been a great fit for our recruiting needs. Andrew and his team have successfully filled multiple positions and pulled in highly qualified candidates we likely would not have seen doing it on our own.
Sean OToole
Founder, PropertyRadar.com · February 2021
We recently engaged Andrew's Pop-Up Talent team to do a senior technology search. Pop-Up Talent is an exciting new recruiting model and we were able to land a top-notch director-level candidate for less than $5,000. They presented a half-dozen well qualified candidates quickly and then supported us throughout the search process. Highly recommend Andrew and team and expect to use them again!
Jim Heeger
Non-profit Board Chair and Strategic Consultant · January 2021
We recently worked with Andrew and his team at CoreTech, with their Pop-Up Talent model. It was incredible how quickly they found niche candidates for us within our location, salary, and experience parameters, and they continually kept in touch with us to ensure we were getting what we needed! Their processes are smooth and simple. Highly recommend Andrew and the CoreTech team!
Ann Baumgarten
Human Resources Consultant and Coach · January 2021
I've worked with Andrew over the past two months to fill a range of positions, from a senior sales executive to a field technician. Andrew has surprised me with both his speed of execution and ability to identify high quality candidates. Andrew is also very responsive and course corrects quickly if required. There's no doubt that we'll continue to use him to identify and recruit future talent.

I've had the pleasure of partnering with Andrew and the Pop-Up Talent / CoreTechs team to grow organizations with the right talent. With multiple openings, and the typical startup pressure to hire in a tight market, Andrew and the team were able to help instantly. Offering great flexibility, speed of sourcing and all-encompassing service, they made growing the organization much easier!

Andrew and his Pop-Up Talent / CoreTechs team are excellent recruiters. I worked with his team at several of my companies and found them to be efficient, cost-effective and on target. Andrew has a fantastic grasp of recruiters and is able to find talent very effectively.
Laura Yecies

I find Andrew to be a creative and innovative solution provider in the ever changing landscape of the recruiting business. His keen awareness of hiring trends and practices in both the permanent and temporary employee landscape has enable him to create offerings to both SMBs and Enterprise level organizations. Pragmatic, cost conscious and productivity focused business offerings. Employing technology and a diversity of resources, Andrew just gets the job done.
Richard J. Bell
Vistage Master Chair · February 2020
Andrew is one of the most talented and smartest people I know – and I don't say that lightly. I am very fortunate to have worked with him for over a decade. He values feedback/opinions and leads by example to build a stronger, more cohesive team. Andrew's open mindedness and flexibility allows those who work under him to think like entrepreneurs and approach different methods in gaining success. Never one to lead on the throne he rolls up his sleeves and is always willing to do what ever it takes to get the job done. His out of the box and sharp thinking is unmatched and admired. Andrew is a results driven manager who will always focus on the customer's needs first. I highly recommend Andrew as a resource if you are looking to hire people or find a job. He and his team will definitely take care of you!
