A Trusted Legacy. A New Chapter.

DYR Enterprises is built on trust, strong relationships, and a passion for helping companies grow.

After more than ten years with Schaffer Associates, Dawn started DYR Enterprises when founder Jim Schaffer retired. During her time there, Dawn became the point person for many clients, leading searches, building relationships, and helping organizations find the talent they needed for their leadership teams.

Today, DYR Enterprises is proud to provide personalized service, industry expertise, and long-term partnerships. The company name might have changed, but our philosophy remains unwavering and constant. Every search is handled with integrity, professionalism, and a true desire to help clients build stronger organizations with great talent.

Recruiting That Starts with Understanding

Every company has its own goals, culture, and vision. That’s why every search at DYR Enterprises starts by listening.

Instead of following a standard recruiting model, Dawn takes time to learn about your business, your leadership team, your hiring goals, and what success looks and feels like for you. Rather than fitting your search into a cookie-cutter process, she creates a search strategy customized to your needs.

Every search starts fresh. Instead of assuming that all companies want a one-size-fits-all candidate, DYR Enterprises takes time to understand your business, your market, and your long-term goals before looking for candidates.

This approach focuses on long-term success, not just filling a job opening.

Industry Expertise That Makes a Difference

The building materials industry is unique.

The building materials industry is unique. Manufacturers, distributors, architects, builders, contractors, retailers, and developers all work together in ways that need specialized knowledge and strong relationships.

Before becoming an executive recruiter, Dawn worked in her family’s business, where she saw how manufacturers, architects, contractors, and distributors work together on commercial and residential projects. That experience still shapes how she approaches recruiting today.

Thanks to this background, clients don’t have to explain industry terms, distribution channels, or how their business works. DYR Enterprises already understands the market, relies on an existing network, and can quickly start finding professionals with the right knowledge and experience to help your company grow.

A Thorough Search Process

A good recruiting process is about more than just reviewing resumes.

Thorough Evaluation

DYR Enterprises runs thorough searches using industry research, targeted outreach, behavioral interviews, reference checks, and detailed candidate reviews. Each candidate is evaluated for technical skills, leadership ability, communication style, career goals, and cultural fit.

Reaching Passive Candidates

Many of the professionals we present aren’t actively looking for a new role and are content in their existing job. It’s necessary to go to them, because they aren’t coming to you. Through networking, industry connections, and direct outreach, DYR Enterprises finds people whose experience matches your organization’s needs.

Hands-On Throughout

Dawn stays deeply involved throughout the search. She displays a commitment to keeping communication channels open and active with both clients and candidates, delivering ongoing updates, gathering feedback, and helping everyone move confidently through every phase of the hiring process.

Building Long-Term Partnerships

At DYR Enterprises, recruiting is built on relationships.

Many of Dawn’s clients have known her and worked alongside her for years. And they come back whenever they need to fill key leadership roles. Some candidates she placed have become executives and hiring managers themselves who later return as clients.

This, of course, is due to great levels of trust, which comes from understanding each organization’s goals, running searches with professionalism and confidentiality, and staying committed to helping both companies and candidates succeed long after a placement.

DYR Enterprises focuses on long-term hiring. Instead of temporary staffing or short-term placements, every search is done with the belief that the right hire can shape your organization’s future.

Working with Dawn is an absolute pleasure. She is insightful, prepared, has a pulse on the market, and is able to find top-notch candidates that make any organization stronger. She is able to understand your culture and find the right fit time and time again. I highly recommend DYR Enterprises for any organization looking to build their team.
Linda T- Managing Director (over eight company brands)

Dawn has the rare combination of professionalism, business judgment, people skills, recruiting expertise, and genuine commitment to her clients. I would gladly work with her again, and I would have complete confidence recommending her to another executive or organization. If you are considering working with Dawn, my advice is simple: you can trust her to understand your needs, represent your organization exceptionally well, and work tirelessly to find the right talent. She has my highest recommendation.

John P. Vice President of Sales
Dawn was instrumental in helping me find my current position, where I have been for 9 years. She was involved in every step, including helping me edit my resume to better market my skills, setting up interviews, and promptly following up with both me and the employer to understand and thoroughly communicate the status of both parties. I will definitely use Dawn again if I ever have the need again. She was very professional, and I would highly recommend her to anyone needing help finding their next career stop.
Dana P. Candidate Chief Operating Officer of a Private Equity Firm

Dawn did an excellent job keeping me informed from start to finish throughout the entire hiring process. Her communication and follow-up were consistent, and I especially appreciated that she reached out on my first day to make sure everything was going well.
