Providing a Total Staffing Solution

It’s the local personal approach we take with every one of our clients and candidates.  It starts with taking the time to understand what our clients and candidates need.  Finding the deeper match that goes beyond just a skill sheet or a list of requirements.  There is a reason over 85% of the placements we do are direct hires.  We aren’t just finding an employee a “place to work.” We are finding right position for the right person at the right time.

How do we do it?

Search Leaders has been working in the Twin Cities market since 2000.  That kind of time and focus on a local market gives us a deeper understanding of the people and attitude that makes our community so special.

Our first stop on any search is to talk with our vast network of local candidates.  Sometimes the best way to find a great candidate is to ask other great candidates!

With the word out to our network, we then go to our well connected social media and advertising partners to get the position details out fast.

While this gets us a long way, some searches require extra attention.  Search Leaders knows how to identify and reach out to targets that otherwise wouldn’t respond to a direct contact.  We learn what motivates candidates and present them with an opportunity that would fit their needs

Why do we do it?

Search Leaders is about people.  Job descriptions, postings, and social media all play a role in the process of hiring a critical resource, but those things aren’t what makes for a great hiring experience. Search Leaders takes the time to understand what makes your company tick, what makes your people special, and who you want to help make your vision a reality.  It is through this core principle we strive for excellence in everything we do.

Our Process

The Search Leaders team focuses on helping businesses enhance their professional staff with a unique approach driven by our ability to:

  • Attract the most qualified talent the “passive job seeker” at the peak of their careers to meet the search needs of today’s clients.
  • Incorporate a client’s specific corporate culture to find highly competent individuals who will successfully support their business approach and philosophy.
  • Uphold ethical practices that promote competitive fairness and respect for individual corporate philosophies.

Our recruiters partner with you through the entire process, understanding your objectives, becoming familiar with your business environment to deliver staffing solutions that help assure long-term success.

Our team has access to thousands of qualified candidates. We identify prospects for your positions both from our own extensive database of pre-screened candidates, and through our strong networking and sourcing capabilities that uncover “passive” job seekers that are often overlooked by other search approaches.

We employ recruiters with in-depth expertise, strong market presence, and dedication. With years of experience, they understand the nuances of client needs and the intricacies of a correct match.

What People Are Saying

Search Leaders works with small to large businesses all over Minnesota and the Midwest. Here is what a few of them are saying…

The folks from Search Leaders are incredibly talented and proficient in the world of IT staffing. I have worked with Search Leaders for over a handful of years and I am never disappointed with the results we receive. As an human resource professional I don’t have the time to dig deep for those hard to find candidates.

Search Leaders is not a firm that just posts jobs and waits for candidates to come to them. They dig deep and tap the passive recruiting market. When dealing with recruiters I look for people I can work with that understand the market they work in. Search Leaders hits in both areas. Being an smaller organization they are relationship driven and look to be a real extension of our brand.

I would highly recommend Search Leaders if looking for a staffing solution.

Non-Profit CompanyHR Director

Over the last 9 years, I have had the luxury of being both a customer and a candidate of Search Leaders. They recruited me for an engineering management position back in 2010 and I quickly turned to them for sourcing the expansion of my teams moving forward. Aside from thier speed and professionalism, they have an uncanny ability to find game changing candidates. They repeatedly took the time with me to research roles, understand the team dynamics, and gain clarity of company’s mission before submitting resumes for consideration. They re-calibrated each time a candidate did not make the cut and typically landed a hire with minimal iterations. I highly recommend Search Leaders to cut through the recruiting noise and deliver results.

Software CompanyDirector of DevOps

Out of all the contracting and recruiting companies, I have had the best experience working with Search leaders. Honesty is so important to candidates for getting recommended and placed for the correct roles. Honesty is also critically important if a company is looking for a resource that they are provided candidates that are a good fit and a good match in both skill sets and personality for their open role(s).

They take the time to get to understand the motivation, personalities and long term goals of candidates and present us candidates for roles that in the majority of cases, are exactly who we are looking for. The screening they do is invaluable and saves us significant time identifying qualified candidates that our team would like to work with. They have hit a home run, time and time again by finding individuals that are a perfect fit and great additions to our team

We have used Search Leaders for the past 4 years to help us source web developer candidates.  My experience has been very positive.  We are presented with quality candidates and the staff is very professional with their interactions between myself as the client and the applicant. They do a great job of representing both parties.

Working with Search Leaders has been a great experience for our business.  They were able to help us locate stronger technical candidates than we were able to find on our own, while understanding our need for a “cultural” fit as well as technical skill set.  I will not hesitate to contact them in the future to help locate our next great talent!
