Acquaint New York

Acquaint New York, with 25 years of executive search experience, specialises in placing transformative talent across fashion, lifestyle, manufacturing, and global retail sectors. The firm was founded by Amy Cole, who held senior sales roles at global apparel manufacturers including Warnaco and Ocean Pacific, where she managed major retail accounts including Target and Kohl's.

The company's approach emphasises targeting passive candidates and high-performers not actively seeking roles, cutting through the noise of oversaturated job boards, and delivering proven return on investment. Acquaint New York combines deep personal networks with advanced AI sourcing tools to identify qualified, high-impact candidates. The firm offers staffing across sales, design, e-commerce, digital marketing, production, and product development functions.

Acquaint New York commits to personalised service with a boutique experience, quality and speed in candidate delivery, and long-term partnership focused on ensuring client success. The firm provides a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee, offering replacement placements if clients are not satisfied with hires. Leadership includes Amy Cole as Founder and CEO, and Lisa Waszkelewicz as Co-Founder and Executive Recruiter.
