In Forbes 2017 America’s Best Recruiting Firms and Best Executive Search Firms, GRN is honored in Both Categories.

Chicago, IL

Global Recruiters Network^®, a worldwide executive search firm based in Chicago IL, is proud to be recognized by Forbes as one of the top 50 Executive Search Firms as well as in the top 2% of all Professional Search Firms.

Forbes worked with analytics firm Statista to compile two lists of America’s best recruiting firms. The first set ranks 250 executive search firms, defined as companies that place executives in positions with at least $100,000 in annual pay. The second ranks 250 professional search firms, which place employees in roles with less than $100,000 in annual income.

To conduct its research, Statista first consulted with sources like trade organizations and company databases, identifying about 4,000 recruiters in each of the two categories. Then it invited thousands of recruiters, employees who have worked with recruiters over the past three years, and H.R. managers to take an online survey. The survey asked them to recommend up to 10 recruiting firms (excluding their own), and it gathered a total of 20,000 recommendations. The companies with the most recommendations ranked highest.

"This is an exciting time for our industry and GRN is extremely pleased to be recognized by Forbes." states GRN CEO Brad Baiocchi. Baiocchi continues, "It's also satisfying to be acknowledged by industry peers, hiring managers and people we've placed. This honor is due to the innovation and dedication of our search professionals around the globe." Baiocchi concludes, "There is no better team or industry to be a part of and we’re very proud of this accomplishment."
