LaSalle Network

What LaSalle Network does

LaSalle Network is a national professional staffing and recruiting firm founded in 1998 and headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. The company delivers four core service lines — temporary/contract staffing, direct hire search, recruitment process outsourcing (RPO), and executive search — across nine industry verticals: Accounting & Finance, Technology, Healthcare Revenue Cycle, Human Resources, Marketing, Sales, Supply Chain, Engineering, and Administrative & Customer Support. Since inception it has placed more than 80,000 candidates in temporary, temporary-to-permanent, and permanent positions across thousands of client engagements, according to the company's own materials.

The firm's go-to-market is sales-led and organized around vertical-specialized recruiter teams supported by physical offices in Chicago (downtown, Oak Brook, Schaumburg), Nashville, and Dallas, with stated service coverage also extending into California. Revenue is generated primarily through professional services fees on contract placements, direct hire search fees, and managed services arrangements under RPO. Its proprietary technology is described as a staffing and recruiting platform incorporating AI-powered candidate matching tools; beyond matching, the company generates marketing and thought leadership through annual survey-driven research reports (including the Class of 2024 Insights Report covering 1,500 graduates and prior Hiring Trends White Papers covering 4,000+ professionals) and earned media coverage on CNBC, Bloomberg, The Wall Street Journal, Today, Fox Business, and The New York Times. Supplementary channel partner offerings include AI Solutions, ESG consulting, Private Equity Support, and a veteran hiring program called the LaSalle Veteran Network.

LaSalle Network is a privately held company founded and led by Tom Gimbel. In February 2022, private equity firm Infinedi Partners completed the first identified external investment in the business while the company remained independently operated. Reported headcount sits in the 251–500 employee range. The company's geographic footprint is U.S.-only (Illinois, Tennessee, Texas, and California-coverage markets), with no global footprint claim and stated operations restricted to the United States. Recognition includes 12 consecutive years on the Inc. 500/5000, eight consecutive years on the Chicago Tribune Top Workplaces list, four consecutive years on Training Magazine's Top 125, and more than 150 cumulative culture and revenue-based awards.
