With more than 25 years of experience as a sales executive “headhunter” and sales recruiter in Minneapolis, Rick is one of the most recognized and trusted names among executive search professionals.

A Passion for Game-Changing Hiring Results
As a young sales leader, Rick learned that every team success was mainly based on the collective talent and drive of team members. He was both fascinated and alarmed by the drastic differences in performance between people tasked with essentially the same work. Determined to select and hire the right people, Rick set out to fully understand the core attributes of top sales performers. This led to the development of an attribute-based selection process which changed everything.

A Passion for Course-Changing Client Experience
Ultimately, a fully evolved version of that recruiting, selection, and hiring process became the basis of our methodology and the key to consistently exceptional results for our clients. More than ever, Rick’s passion for extracting hard to find, difference-making talent is accelerating growth for our extraordinary clients.
