"The search firm that knows your market because we live and work in it."

Our Story

Clover Search Group was founded by Aidan Kearney, a Lodi-based business development and talent professional with over a decade of experience placing leaders across demanding industries — including information technology, construction, energy, and agriculture.

Aidan has placed everyone from IT directors and construction project executives to senior staffers and safety managers — always with the same approach: understand the client's world deeply, source candidates who aren't on job boards, and close placements that last.

With deep roots in the Central Valley — including family ties to agricultural real estate through Petersen and Company and his own farming operation — Aidan brings the kind of local market knowledge that national search firms simply can't replicate.

Clover Search Group operates under Testarossa LLC, a Lodi-based holding company built on a straightforward premise: serve clients the way you'd want to be served, and the business takes care of itself.

How We Work

A search process built around one outcome.

The right person in the right role. Every time.

01
Discover
A deep intake conversation. We learn the role, the team culture, the real expectations, and what a great hire looks like 12 months from now — not just on paper.
02
Source
Active outreach to passive candidates in our network. We don't post on job boards and wait. We call the people who aren't looking but should be talking to you.
03
Present
A curated shortlist of qualified, vetted, genuinely interested candidates. You spend your time interviewing people worth your time — not filtering through a stack of resumes.
04
Place
Placement backed by our 90-day replacement guarantee. If the hire doesn't work out within the first 90 days, we fill the role again at no additional charge.
