Our Story
Where Excellence Matters
Prior to Encore Search Partners, in 2010, Jeremy started Market Share Solutions, a lead generation and marketing firm. Always a consummate fan of data, he took a look at his client base and realized half his clients were in the staffing in recruiting space. By 2013, he used his background in data science, lead generation, and sales & marketing to create a professional recruiting agency focused on headhunting niche, technical talent to provide clients a return on their investment and grow the value of their companies.
In 2013, Encore Search Partners was created, and the name reflected a refined mission: to connect top-tier professionals with companies across the country. The firm focused on using performance data to consistently deliver results.
Jeremy brought on two key executive members in 2016 who helped scale Encore’s operations and diversified their specialty from oil & gas to include wealth management, legal, manufacturing, technology, and more. In 2017, the company implemented the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), which created structure, accountability, and the foundation for long-term scalability.
Encore quickly became one of Houston’s fastest-growing firms. It earned multiple spots on the Inc. 5000 list and was named a Houston Business Journal Best Place to Work six years in a row. By 2022, Encore surpassed $10 million in annual revenue.
Today, we are recognized leaders in recruiting for Professional and Technical talent in industries such as Financial Services & Wealth Management, Law, Manufacturing, Energy, Chemicals, Technical Sales, and more.
Encore is a minority-owned enterprise based in Houston, Texas, and serves clients across the country.

Testimonials
What Our Clients Have To Say
A significant amount of effort was put in to clearly understand the needs and articulating this to provide very good prospects.
Sanjit Shewale
Head Of Digital Business
We were very particular in hiring the exact person that fits our criteria, culture and energy… I would use and recommend Encore again to anyone for the talent acquisition needs.
Cheston Syma
CEO
Our internal search team was unable to find the right type of candidates for my open sales role for several months, and then we turned to Jeremy.
Jonathan Sbert
Vice President
I would describe my job search as pre-Jeremy and post-Jeremy. I had lost faith in recruiters, until our paths crossed. I would recommend his services hands down. Because of his diligence, I now work for an outstanding employer. Jeremy is a great recruiter, but more than that, he was an amazing partner.
Shontell Hughes
Employee Benefits Manager
I have had the pleasure of working with Jeremy as both someone he recruited and as a member of a company that utilizes Encore's services. In both instances, the experience has been nothing short of excellent.
Bobby Neelon
Data Analytics Manger
I had the pleasure of being placed at my current employers company by Jeremy and his team. From the moment I started the process with his firm, I sensed excellence and professionalism every step of the way. You can really tell that Jeremy takes pride in everything he does!
Caleb Padilla
Account Manager
Jeremy and his team are tenacious, client-focused, and bend over backward to work with you to find the right candidates. From the moment you receive that first candidate overview and assessment, you know just how different the experience with his team is going to be from other recruiters with whom you may have worked in the past.
Joshua Massoud
Managing Principal
Jeremy Jenson and his team over at Encore are a first class organization. Instead of relying on their network (which is quite extensive by the way), they have an information based quant model to help companies find the right people for their business. They are especially good at finding people for your business that are hard to find.
Charles Alvarez
CEO
Jeremy and his team have been an invaluable resource for us. He is always dedicated to filling our jobs, even if they were challenging. He and his team go above and beyond to strategically help us locate the right talent. Jeremy spent the time to understand our culture and as a result finds candidates that fit for our organization. He is an excellent communicator and great to work with.
Ricca Leatherman
HR Associate Manager
Jeremy is a consummate professional. He is adept at finding the right candidates as well as developing new technologies to help the process be more efficient and discover passive talent quicker. While he is wise beyond his years in some aspects, he is still striving to learn more about the business all while driving revenue.

Bobby Neelon
Data Analytics Manger
Jeremy has continued to be a great asset and business partner! Most recently I had used some industry contacts to source candidates for a high profile Director role, but with little or limited success. Through Jeremy's persistence I opened up the candidate search to him and Encore and within just a couple days I had numerous candidates that all fit exactly what I was looking for. He earned our business and we'll continue to turn to him in the future!
