Connections of New York

What Connections of New York does

Connections of New York (legal entity: Connections Personnel of New York, Inc.) is a private, boutique executive recruitment and staffing agency founded in 1989 and headquartered in Garden City, New York. The firm serves the New York Metropolitan area, placing full-time and consulting tech professionals with corporate clients that include Fortune 500 companies, television networks, and venture-backed startups. The company is led by President and Founder Bob Green and operates with a headcount in the 11-50 range.

The firm's core product is relationship-driven tech recruitment delivered through five specialized pursuit teams covering Data & Analytics, Web & Core Development, Infrastructure Technology, Product & Marketing, and Sales & Strategy. Each vertical is staffed by named team leaders with dedicated contact channels. The underlying technology combines a self-service online platform — where candidates can register, create profiles, and search job openings — with what the firm describes as "leading candidate search technology" integrated into a human-curated matching process. The company explicitly positions its human-touch methodology against algorithm- and resume-database-driven competitors, branding itself as "the algorithm."

The business model is professional-services fee-based, generating revenue through candidate placement and executive search arrangements typical of the staffing industry (contingency or retained search), with pricing not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is hybrid: direct sales engagement with corporate clients and hiring managers for enterprise mandates, paired with inside-sales/PLG motion through the online talent platform. Marketing channels include a corporate blog, organic social (Twitter), referral/word-of-mouth, and SEO-driven discovery. The company has no disclosed funding, no parent company, no M&A activity, and no public-company affiliations, consistent with a founder-owned independent operator.
