What Recruit Group does

Recruit Group is a privately held boutique executive search and specialty recruiting firm headquartered at 200 E Las Olas Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, FL. Founded in 1998 and acquired and rebranded by current CEO Noel Glacer in October 2016, the firm operates with 1–10 employees and focuses exclusively on permanent placement services across two verticals: Security and Infrastructure Technology (covering CCTV/VMS, Access Control, IoT, AI/ML, SaaS, Managed Services) and Healthcare Technology (selling into hospitals, practices, payers, pharma, and large employers).

The firm's core capability is a proprietary passive-candidate network built over 25+ years, combined with a behavioral-based interview methodology, structured skills assessments, and performance tracking on retained-search filled rate, offer acceptance, 12-month placement retention, days-to-fill, and resumes-per-hire. Its stated differentiation is exclusive access to high-performing passive candidates unreachable through standard sourcing channels, supported by named enterprise customers such as Gallagher Security, Avigilon, TeraRecon, CheckedUp, RevSpring, and Infrared Cameras — primarily sales, sales leadership, operations, marketing, and C-level placements.

Revenue is generated on a fee-based professional services model typical of retained executive search, with placement economics undisclosed publicly and engagements handled directly by leadership (CEO Noel Glacer and Director of Security Division Ryan Joseph). Distribution is direct-sales-only through the Fort Lauderdale headquarters with no channel intermediaries; marketing is content-led through the 'Recruiting Roadmap' blog and organic social. The firm has been recognized by Forbes as one of America's Best Recruiting Firms (Top 100) for seven consecutive years and is led by a two-person visible executive team with no evidence of external institutional investment, parent company, or subsidiaries.

Product overview

Recruit Group is a boutique executive placement and specialty staffing firm offering a portfolio of talent solutions organized around two core practice areas: Infrastructure Technologies Recruiting (covering Security, CCTV, Access Control, IoT, AI/ML, SaaS, and related infrastructure technology sectors) and Healthcare Technology Recruiting (serving Healthcare IT companies). The Executive Placement service provides permanent placement from individual contributors to C-level leadership across both domains. Additional offerings include candidate coaching and on-boarding support, plus the Recruiting Roadmap blog series providing industry insights. The firm differentiates through a niche focus on passive candidate sourcing and relationship-driven recruiting rather than transactional job-posting approaches.
