National Search Group

What National Search Group does

National Search Group (NSG) is a privately held, Miami-headquartered executive search and staffing firm founded in 1993 that delivers recruitment services to clients across six niche industry verticals: wood and forest products (WoodJobs), metal and manufacturing (MetalRecruiters), plastics and packaging (PlasticStaffing), energy including renewables (Power Search Group), healthcare and medical staffing (Health Staffing Group), and finance and accounting (Finance Hiring). Each vertical operates as a wholly-owned sub-brand with its own website, social presence, and dedicated recruiter bench led by a Vice President or Division Director. NSG is led by founder and Group President Roger Lopez, with a Group Vice President (Lazaro Carlos) and CHRO (Jason Dela Luna) supporting operations.

The firm offers six core service lines — Executive Search, Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO), Retained Search, Permanent Placement, Contract Staffing, and Contingency Search — and monetizes primarily through professional services fees and transaction-based placement fees. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; engagement structures range from retained search with multi-year commitments to contingency-based "pay only when you hire" arrangements, with RPO and Contract Staffing billed monthly. Go-to-market is consultative direct sales through dedicated account managers and division-specific inbound channels (phone, contact forms, division websites), supported by an SEO-oriented content marketing engine and active presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and X.

Operationally, NSG reports 30+ years of experience, a 4.9-star Google rating across 371-398 reviews, and a stated geographic reach spanning 40+ countries across North America, Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. The company states an AI-powered recruitment framework integrated with human recruiter judgment for executive search; the disclosure is limited and the underlying technology stack, proprietary features, and integration partners are not detailed in available sources. The firm is privately held with no disclosed funding, parent entity, or institutional ownership.
