We’re passionate about one thing. YOUR SUCCESS.
Guided Search Partners was founded in 2021 by a group of recruiters motivated by helping our clients and candidates achieve their goals. We started this because we believed in a better way of executive search centered around true relationships with clients and candidates. Originally, we built GSP on two core divisions: Plastics & Packaging Manufacturing and Food & Beverage Manufacturing. From there, we have grown into something we could have only dreamed of, expanding into new industries while staying true to our foundation. With our expertise in both internal and external recruiting, we understand the challenges our clients face daily and continue to evolve to meet their needs. GSP is the solution to the problems that plague the recruiting industry—and we’re just getting started.

We recognize that every search is unique, and a "one-size-fits-all" approach to recruitment is ineffective. Our three permanent placement search options—Retained, Priority, and Contingent—offer clients the flexibility to customize our services to best align with their specific needs.
