TAMPA, FLORIDA – Apex Service Partners, a parent company of multiple leading businesses providing HVAC, plumbing and electrical services, has placed Mitchell Post as their new Head of Learning & Development. President & Managing Director, Nat Schiffer and Recruiting Manager, Morgan Booker, led and placed the critical search.
“Working with Steven McCarty and Apex was such a great and challenging experience because we completely turned the traditional concept of the L&D Leader on its head. I should be clear, I can not take credit for the paradigm shift in the role, that is all Steven. What TCG can take credit for is helping him synthesize his vision for a KPI driven and business-based role and then assessing countless candidates who could not only play in the Industrial Services sandbox but could build the architecture for a business rooted L&D Model. It is so rewarding when our process meets our clients’ lofty expectations, particularly in unique searches like this one,” Nat Schiffer shared.
As the Head of Learning & Development, Mitchell will lead training and talent development in a critical, stable, but underserved industry. He will be the “Dean” of the Apex “schools”, making sure effective and efficient programs are launched, replicated, and administered around the country according to business budget and forecast. Mitchell will identify existing best practices and programs already in field training and seek to replicate those at scale to expedite success and impact. Reporting directly to the CPO and working closely with senior executives, Mitchell will implement training and development strategies for primarily technicians, as well as managers and executives.
“The people at TCG made this huge career move easy for me. They guided the process and handled all of the details, so all I needed to do was show up and be my authentic self. They were great advocates and it took all the pressure off of me,” Mitchell Post shared.
He continued, “Joining the team at Apex Service Partners really feels like coming home. I could feel throughout the interview process that this was a place I wanted to be, and the leadership team has welcomed me on as a true partner in the business. We have a culture that truly values our people above all else, and it’s not just a catchphrase. We definitely live it, and it’s refreshing!”

His expertise spans talent development, leadership coaching, and acquisition.
