Wedoe Search Group

Wedoe Search Group is a Minneapolis-based direct-hire recruiting firm specializing in permanent placements for companies ranging from startups to mid-size organizations. With 15 years of experience in direct hire recruiting, they focus on uncovering passive talent and building long-term partnerships with their clients.

Wedoe Search Group operates as direct-hire recruiting experts, providing an all-in approach to finding the best talent for companies looking to grow faster. Their specialty lies in full-time placements, and they pride themselves on their proven experience and results in this area.

What sets WSG apart is their emphasis on the 'recruit' aspect of recruiting. Rather than posting job ads or searching job boards, they focus on uncovering passive talent - professionals who are currently happy, well-appreciated, and well-compensated but might be enticed by better opportunities. Their goal is to find top-tier candidates who are unlikely to apply to traditional job postings.

The company operates two main service models: WSG Search for individual contributors and managers, and WSG Retained Search for director, VP, and C-level positions. They work with companies across various functions including software development, product, analytics, sales, marketing, creative, accounting, and finance.

WSG positions itself as a true partner rather than just a service provider, working closely with founders, C-level executives, VPs, and directors to build their teams. They focus on making the hiring experience simple and enjoyable while targeting companies with urgent needs, difficult-to-fill positions, or those seeking strategic, consistent access to progressive talent.
