Denver Executive Recruiting

Riderflex is a boutique executive recruiting firm based in Denver, Colorado, founded in 2013. We run executive searches for Colorado employers and for companies nationwide, filling roles from associate-level volume hiring through the C-suite in every industry. Every finalist is interviewed on video by a current C-level executive before you meet them, and every search is matched to your culture.

What does a Denver executive recruiting firm do?

An executive recruiting firm, also called an executive search firm or headhunter, finds, screens and presents candidates for leadership roles that a company can't fill through job postings. The strongest candidates for a senior role are usually employed and not looking. A search firm's job is to find them, make the case for the move, and vet them hard enough that you only spend time on people who can do the job.

For Denver employers that usually means CEO, president, COO, CFO, general manager, VP of sales, plant manager and engineering leadership searches, plus director and manager roles for growing companies along the Front Range.

How is Riderflex different from other Denver recruiters?

  • Senior people run the search. We are boutique by design. Large firms often hand searches to junior associates. At Riderflex, the people running your search have run businesses.
  • Video interviews by current C-level executives. Finalists are vetted through video interviews conducted by current C-level executives with 30+ years of operating experience. You see how a candidate thinks and communicates before you invest an hour of your own time.
  • Culture analysis. We study how your company actually works and match candidates to it, not just to the job description.
  • Weekly updates. You get a progress update every week on every search.
  • Proof you can check. Riderflex holds a 5.0-star Google rating across 346 reviews.
