About.
Katherine Eriksen is the Founder & CEO of Cat & Mouse Recruitment, a company she created with a simple idea: recruitment should feel personal.
After working in both corporate recruitment and Human Resources, Katherine saw an opportunity to offer clients something different from the traditional agency experience — a more customized, thoughtful and genuinely collaborative approach to finding great people.
Her HR background sets her apart in the recruitment world. Katherine doesn’t just understand how to find exceptional candidates; she understands the bigger picture behind every hire — organizational culture, team dynamics, business needs and what it takes for someone to truly succeed in a role.
With experience recruiting for mid-level through senior executive positions across a variety of industries and environments, Katherine takes the time to understand both the organization and the person behind the résumé.
At Cat & Mouse, it’s never about simply filling a role. It’s about understanding what you need, finding the right fit, and creating a recruitment experience that feels anything but cookie-cutter.
Zach is a Recruitment Consultant and the driving force behind fractional recruitment for our client, Ironback Controls, bringing energy, persistence and a genuine ability to connect with people to every search.
With a background rooted in customer service and retail, Zach understands that great recruitment starts with great relationships. His approachable style, strong instincts and commitment to understanding both the role and the person behind the résumé have quickly translated into success.
Zach has a particular passion for technical recruitment within the Instrumentation and Controls field. He has immersed himself in the industry, developing an understanding of the specialized skills, people and roles that keep it moving.
For Zach, recruitment is about more than filling positions. It’s about building relationships, understanding the industry and connecting the right people with the right opportunities.
