What Clients Say

I've had the pleasure of working with Richie Lampani and let me tell you, he's not your average talent finder. Richie consistently delivers high-caliber candidates who aren't just a fit on paper, but a true match for the team and the culture.

One standout IT candidate he brought to us has already proven to be a rockstar—within just over 13 months, they've grown into a more valuable role within the organization and are thriving. That's the kind of long-term impact Richie brings to the table.

What sets Richie apart is his attention to detail and the extra layer of diligence he puts into screening candidates. I'm used to recruiters sending half-vetted resumes that I still need to comb through. With Richie? Not the case. He does the heavy lifting, and the quality speaks for itself.

If you're looking for someone who takes the time to truly understand what you're looking for and then actually delivers on it, Richie's your guy.

I have worked with Richie since he started Underground Admins. He successfully performed searches for my company's open roles in Sales, Sales Enablement, and technical roles. Richie is the most collaborative and positive person I get the privilege to work with and I deeply trust his judgment.

He has an impressive expertise in finding the right candidates for jobs and for understanding and resonating with a company's culture. He also has the patience of a saint! My company isn't easy to please and it is exceptionally picky at a maddening level. Richie kept giving us amazing candidates and moving forward, reflecting on our feedback and adjusting on the go.

I plan to work with Underground Admins wherever I go with whatever vacancy I need to fill—he guarantees my success in hiring. Highly recommend!

Richie is amazing. I've been creeping on his LinkedIn for ages—partly for the insights, partly for the entertainment—even though the roles he posts have nothing to do with the ones I'm pursuing. So when he offered resume reviews, I signed up immediately like a total fangirl.

My existing resume was solid—actually, it was pretty great—but it was built for a career I'm no longer pursuing. I reached out to Richie to help me make the leap from corporate nerd to laboratory nerd. When I first opened my shiny new resume, I was totally baffled. It was…unexpected. Short. And not typical chronological style. I was a little skeptical.

Fast-forward two weeks and about 10 applications later: I heard back from a technical staffing agency—for multiple roles I applied to. I had a phone screen for a direct-hire position. I even got a cold outreach from a recruiter. All of this for jobs that represent a complete career pivot.

I'm a believer.

An exceptional human being with genuine care for others and a passion for recruitment.

Through the magic of LinkedIn, we somehow connected at the perfect time for us both, despite being on opposite ends of the planet. Richie had just taken the plunge to start his own agency and was seeking clients for his Underground Administration business, while I was looking for a complete branding and resume overhaul.

A true professional, he set up a video chat at a time that worked for us both, accommodating children's bedtimes and time zones. He's the type of person you feel like you've known since childhood, asking genuine, probing questions to understand your "why" and effectively sell your niche.

I haven't touched my LinkedIn profile since the overhaul, and it has been a lead funnel for me in the highly competitive Australian recruitment industry.

One of the good guys, I highly recommend Richie.
