We’re honored, excited, and proud to share that Crawford Thomas Recruiting has once again been named to the Forbes Best Professional Recruiting Firms list for the eighth year in a row—a distinction we’ve proudly held since 2018!


Each year, Forbes partners with market research firm Statista to compile this list, which recognizes the best recruiting firms across the country. What makes this recognition especially meaningful is that it’s based entirely on feedback from clients, candidates, and industry peers. Being nominated and selected by those we work with every day—employers needing help hiring and professionals searching for their next opportunity—means the world to us.

Why This Honor Matters

The Forbes Best Recruiting Firms list isn’t just another accolade. It’s a rigorous, peer-reviewed ranking that reflects trust, satisfaction, and proven results. This year’s list was compiled based on over 36,000 survey responses, including evaluations from hiring managers, HR professionals, and job seekers alike. To be listed once is a compliment. To be listed eight consecutive times is a testament to our dedication, consistency, and impact in the recruiting world.
