Goodwin Recruiting, a national leader in talent acquisition, is thrilled to announce its recognition as a 2025 Forbes Best Recruiting Firm. This marks the sixth consecutive year that Goodwin Recruiting has been named one of America’s Best Professional Recruiting Firms and the fifth consecutive year as one of America’s Best Executive Recruiting Firms. The prestigious recognition, based on a survey of thousands of hiring managers who recently worked with recruiting firms, highlights the company’s dedication to excellence in recruiting and talent acquisition.
Consistent Excellence in Recruiting
Forbes selects the top recruiting firms annually, evaluating those that demonstrate exceptional service and expertise. The Forbes Best Executive Recruiting Firms list recognizes companies that specialize in filling positions with salaries of $100,000+, while the Forbes Best Professional Recruiting Firms list highlights firms focused on positions with salaries under $100,000.
Andy Decker, the new CEO of Goodwin Recruiting, reflected on the company’s success, saying, “2025 has been a thrilling time for us. We’ve been building our team and working to provide exceptional service to the amazing companies reaching out to us. Achieving this award for the sixth consecutive year is an honor, and we’re so grateful to our clients, candidates, and our team.
