Duet is a full-service PERSONALIZED RECRUITMENT CONSULTANCY specializing in the beauty, fashion, and consumer-facing space.

Meet duet.

Founders Kate Collett and Lauren Arvizu have worked together for more than a decade. In the process, they’ve forged an unrivaled working partnership—and a lasting friendship to match.

With more than 20 years of combined industry experience, Kate and Lauren identified a negative space in the world of niche recruitment. Armed with a passion for connection, a proven track record, and a desire to do things a little differently, they founded Duet.

Kate and Lauren take a refreshingly individualized approach to defining (and providing) exactly what your company needs to build, grow, and evolve. Their bespoke offerings create a hiring strategy that works for you and your company—not the other way around.

Together, Kate and Lauren leverage a powerhouse of industry experience and a deep-reaching network of connections that’s guaranteed to find your perfect fit.

Roles we fill.

At Duet, we hand-pick the best talent to find the right candidate by leveraging our network, not just a database. Because when it comes to finding and hiring the very best industry talent, personalized service always works better.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Duet for many years to find top creative talent, and I couldn’t be MORE IMPRESSED. They have an INCREDIBLE EYE FOR TALENT, A DEEP NETWORK IN THE INDUSTRY, and A SEAMLESS PROCESS that makes hiring so much easier.

Beyond their expertise, Duet is PROFESSIONAL, RESPONSIVE, and TRULY INVESTED in finding the right fit—not just filling a role.

MANDY FRY,
CO-OWNER & PRESIDENT, Z SUPPLY

Lauren and Kate are TRUE PROFESSIONALS. I have had the pleasure of working with them across multiple businesses and they always take a VERY HANDS ON APPROACH. They fully commit to the process and actively seek feedback and easily pivot as needed. They have a true COMMITMENT to ensuring there is a strong outcome that is a WIN AND WIN for both the hiring manager and the candidate.

ELIZABETH ASHMUN,
CEO, PHLUR

Kate and Lauren were FANTASTIC PARTNERS in our most recent search for an Art Director for Z Supply. Not only did they quickly identify a short list of very qualified candidates, they worked to help to make certain that we had found the right fit for us, both CREATIVELY AND CULTURALLY. Would happily work with them again on a future project!

CATHEY CURTIS,
CMO

Kate was so great to work with! QUICK TO RESPOND, INFORMATIVE, and GENUINE. Sometimes it feels like a recruiter is just trying to get anyone hired even if the job isn’t the right fit, but not Kate. I was able to find a job match that I’m not only confident in but truly excited about! I hope I am not looking for a new job anytime soon, but if/when that time comes, I would definitely work with Kate again.

BELLE KOLIK,
ASSOCIATE DESIGNER, BEACH RIOT

Lauren and the Duet team were an ABSOLUTE DREAM to work with. From the start, the Duet team acted as TRUE PARTNERS – you can tell they really try to find the perfect match between your goals and the open role. They GUIDED ME SEAMLESSLY through the interviews and hiring process, and I could not be more grateful. I would recommend them to anyone looking to hire or find their next role.

ERICA DUNIVAN,
CMO, PHLUR

DUET has placed most of the top talent at Lawless. I have loved working with them and cannot recommend them highly enough.

RACHEL SHELOWITZ,
CEO, LAWLESS Beauty

Working with DUET was an INCREDIBLY SMOOTH and POSITIVE EXPERIENCE. Kate took the time to genuinely understand my background and thoughtfully assess whether the role was the right fit. Throughout the entire interview process, she was an incredible partner — PROVIDING SUPPORT AT EVERY STAGE, PREPARING ME FOR EACH CONVERSATION, AND CHECKING IN WITH VALUABLE  FOLLOW-UPS. Her communication was always CLEAR, TIMELY, AND ENCOURAGING which made the entire process feel personal and empowering.

BROOKE ANDERSON,
DIRECTOR OF LIFECYCLE MARKETING, PHLUR
