24 Hour Search Is Now Certified as a Disability-Owned Business Enterprise

24 Hour Search LLC is certified as a Disability-Owned Business Enterprise through Disability:IN.

24 Hour Search LLC is certified as a Disability-Owned Business Enterprise (DOBE), as part of Disability:IN's Supplier Inclusion program. The certification confirms the firm is at least 51% owned, managed, and controlled by a person with a disability, and connects certified businesses with organizations seeking a more inclusive supply chain.

I have long believed that even with the immense challenges and pressures of being a neurodivergent woman founder, it is my superpower. My mind works in a way where there is always an answer, even when it is not obvious, and I approach problems like pieces of a puzzle waiting to be put together.

Kristin Taylor, Managing Member

What certification means

The Disability:IN Supplier Inclusion program certifies disability-owned business enterprises, including service-disabled and veteran disability-owned businesses, and connects them with organizations seeking to gain a competitive edge in their supply chains. On average, DOBEs employ people with disabilities at significantly higher rates than their non-DOBE peers, and DOBEs are recognized nationally by The Billion Dollar Roundtable.

This certification joins 24 Hour Search's existing WBENC certification as a Women's Business Enterprise. The firm is now certified as both woman-owned and disability-owned.

24 Hour Search LLC is a New York-based, woman-owned and disability-owned boutique executive search firm specializing in commercial real estate and professional services placements, founded by Kristin Taylor in April 2025. The firm runs retained methodology with no retainer. Learn more about how we work or get in touch.
