Who We Are

Building meaningful connections between talent and opportunity.

The Authentic Age is a specialized recruiting partner focused on the construction and real estate industries. We bridge the gap between exceptional companies and the leaders who drive their success. We combine deep industry experience with a people-first approach to deliver lasting impact.

We believe in relationships over transactions. Every search begins with listening to fully understand your goals, your culture, and your definition of success. From there, we build a tailored search strategy that delivers far more than resumes. We strive to deliver results that fit.

About our founder

With over a decade of experience in the recruiting industry and more than eight years dedicated specifically to the construction sector, Cullen has built his career around understanding people, projects, and the businesses that bring them together.

After years of partnering with firms across the country, he transitioned to Florida with the excitement of continuing his recruitment journey with his own creative spin. He takes pride in offering a personalized approach to every search, guided by authenticity, transparency, and genuine connection.

Cullen believes successful recruiting goes far beyond matching resumes to job descriptions; focusing instead on aligning vision, values, and long-term goals. By staying adaptable, creative, and deeply engaged with both clients and candidates, he identifies and attracts talent that not only fits the role but also strengthens every team’s culture.

At the end of the day, his goal is simple: to deliver trusted results through authentic partnerships.
