25 Years of Knowing an A-Player When He Sees One.

Darrin Carr, Owner & Founder

Darrin is a former Director of Training for Macmillan Publishing, a billion-dollar company, where he spent years building the training and people systems behind a national sales organization. He brought that same discipline to recruiting — and has spent the last 25 years mastering how to find, evaluate, and land people who actually move a company forward.

Eight years ago, Darrin turned that expertise toward Real Estate Investment, and CARR Talent has since grown into the country’s largest and most trusted recruiting firm for the industry — hiring thousands of top professionals for hundreds of clients, and expanding into manufacturing, engineering, and construction along the way.

As the founder, Darrin developed the Approach & Poach™ method — a system for identifying, targeting, and compelling top talent, even when they aren’t looking and even from competitors. It’s the opposite of a “post and pray” agency.

“A-players don’t choose jobs. They choose arenas. Our job is to make your company one of them.”

Off the clock, Darrin is a single dad to 13-year-old twins — where the same precision, patience, and persistence that built CARR Talent shows up every day, whether he’s coaching youth sports or reviewing a candidate slate at midnight.

Fifteen Recruiters. One Standard.

Only A-Players hire A-Players. Every recruiter on the CARR Talent team is trained to combine technical assessment skill with the spark and charisma it takes to actually compel great people to make a move — not just identify them.
