Boutique IT staffing firm recognized on America’s Best Executive Recruiting Firms, Best Professional Recruiting Firms and Best Temp Staffing Firms for 2026
OVERLAND PARK, KS, May 5, 2026. Nexus IT Group, a privately held boutique IT staffing and recruiting firm, today announced that Forbes has recognized the company on three of its annual best of 2026 rankings. Nexus IT Group earned a place on America’s Best Executive Recruiting Firms 2026 at #100, America’s Best Professional Recruiting Firms 2026 at #75, and America’s Best Temp Staffing Firms 2026 at #170. The lists are produced by Forbes in partnership with Statista, based on independent surveys of external recruiters, in-house hiring managers and job seekers across the United States.
The triple recognition spans the full breadth of how Nexus IT Group serves the technology sector, from temporary contract placements through professional direct hires and into senior executive search. Founded by Managing Director Travis Lindemoen and headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas, the firm supports more than 1,000 customers in nearly every major US city, with regional teams in Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Phoenix, San Francisco, San Jose and Washington DC, alongside Canadian markets including Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver.
“Being named to three Forbes lists in the same year reflects everything our team has built around our Quality Through Understanding philosophy,” said Travis Lindemoen, Managing Director of Nexus IT Group. “These rankings come directly from the people we serve, which is what makes them so meaningful. We are deeply grateful to every client, candidate and peer who recommended us in the survey.”
The Forbes and Statista methodology evaluates recruiting firms on dimensions such as service quality, candidate experience and client satisfaction, with final selections drawn from thousands of independent survey responses. Recognition on a single list is widely regarded as one of the most credible third-party endorsements a recruiting firm can receive, and earning placement on all three is rare. The simultaneous wins indicate a firm capable of performing at a high level across short-term contract talent, professional direct hires and senior leadership searches.
Nexus IT Group’s specialized practice areas include AI engineering, cloud, cybersecurity, data science, DevOps, digital marketing, fintech, government IT, healthcare IT, IT leadership, private equity, software development, startups and UX. Clients including the Federal Reserve Bank, Harvard University, Amazon and Goldman Sachs have turned to the firm for hard-to-find tech talent, and Nexus IT Group maintains a 94.89% successful placement ratio across its engagements. The company offers contract, direct placement, executive search, confidential search and Recruitment as a Service (RaaS) solutions, with engaged talent pipelines delivered to clients in under seven days for many roles.
“We have always operated as a boutique firm by design, and that is what gives our recruiters the focus to consistently deliver on speed, quality, retention and culture fit,” Lindemoen added. “These three Forbes recognitions are a reminder that staying selective in our approach is exactly what allows us to compete with the largest names in our industry while keeping the personal touch our clients value.”
