Search Solution Group has once again been recognized as Charlotte’s leading executive search firm by the Charlotte Business Journal, earning the #1 ranking on both of the publication’s 2026 executive search lists.
The recognition reinforces the firm’s position as a leading headhunting and recruitment firm in Charlotte, with top rankings in both retained executive search and contingent recruitment.
The firm earned the #1 ranking on both of the following Charlotte Business Journal lists:
- Largest Charlotte-Area Retained Executive Search Firms
- Largest Charlotte-Area Executive Search Firms (Contingent)
Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Charlotte since 2006, Search Solution Group has spent nearly 25 years helping organizations identify and hire experienced leaders and specialized professionals. For over 20 years, Search Solution Group has been an active part of the city’s growth, helping the community’s leading organizations, including the Mint Museum and Bojangles, as well as other companies that play a key role in the Charlotte business community, find the best talent.
The People Behind the Rankings
At the end of the day, it’s the people at Search Solution Group who make recognitions like this possible.
Behind every successful placement is a team working together, from the sales professionals who build and maintain client relationships to the recruiters who identify, engage, and deliver qualified talent.
Over the years, the firm has built a team of professionals who understand their industries, take pride in their work, and know that successful recruiting requires more than filling an open position. It takes persistence, communication, and a commitment to finding the right fit for both clients and candidates.
These rankings are a reflection of the hard work, experience, and dedication of the entire Search Solution Group team, whose efforts continue to drive the firm’s success in Charlotte and across the country.
“As we approach our 25th year in 2027, I’m proud of how far Search Solution Group has come. We’re proud to call Charlotte home and grateful for the network of clients, candidates, and business relationships we’ve built over the years, both locally and across the country. Being ranked #1 is a reflection of the hard work and dedication of our team, who continue to deliver for the people and companies that put their trust in us every day. This recognition belongs to them.” – Jeremy Gnozzo, Founder and CEO, Search Solution Group.
Growing Alongside Charlotte for 20 Years
When Search Solution Group relocated to Charlotte in 2006, the city looked very different from how it does today. Over the past two decades, Charlotte has become a major business hub, attracting new companies, expanding across industries, and creating opportunities for businesses and professionals alike.
The firm has experienced that growth firsthand. What began as a small, regional recruiting company has expanded into a national executive search and recruitment organization, while maintaining its headquarters and strong ties to Charlotte’s business community.
As Search Solution Group approaches its 25th anniversary, the firm remains focused on what has driven its success since 2002: building lasting relationships, connecting businesses with exceptional talent, and continuing to grow alongside the Charlotte community.
