KTG has been a standout partner on multiple key hires. The communication was always proactive. I never had to follow up. The team stayed close, kept asking the right questions, and stayed focused on results. They worked hard to understand our goals and made the process efficient and clear. That kind of consistency makes a real difference - some of our strongest hires came through KTG. Their work has directly supported our growth, our customer voice, and our sales motion.

Robert Hayes

Co-Founder & CEO

As we entered this next phase of growth, we knew it was time to add a President to the equation. Partnering with KTG made all the difference. They didn’t just run a search — they listened. They understood that finding the right leader isn’t just about skills, it’s about finding the missing puzzle piece. Because of their care and insight, we brought in someone who will help us grow while staying true to who we are.

Dr. Becky Kennedy

CEO and Co-Founder

Working with the KTG team was the best experience we’ve had with a search firm. From the start, they took a highly personalized approach, investing the time to understand our team, culture, and the real needs of the business. They brought a strong perspective to each conversation, moved with urgency, matched the energy of our stakeholders throughout the process, and helped guide us to the right decision. Our CMO hire has brought fresh thinking and strong leadership, and continues to make a meaningful impact on the business.

Chris Ratterman

Founder & CEO

More than any other search partner, KTG understands the assignment better than anyone else, and their ability to comprehend our needs and nail the fit is unparalleled. There wasn’t a single candidate put in front of me who wasn’t worth my time, and each subsequent candidate reflected my feedback, making the process stronger week by week. They went well beyond searching for just the right skills, they also nailed the cultural and interpersonal needs. Collaboration and communication were seamless, like they were a member of my team. I would choose KTG again in a heartbeat.

Morgen Newman

Co-Founder & CEO

KTG is crystal clear on where they shine, and it shows. Their focus means they have deep, authentic relationships with the candidates they bring forward - these are people who know and trust KTG. The team brings grit, hustle, and a scrappy determination that really sets them apart. KTG felt like a true extension of our team. They’re knowledgeable, responsive, and just plain fun to work with. It never felt transactional, they were all-in with us every step of the way.

Cassie Burr

CEO

Working with KTG Search was an excellent experience from start to finish. They quickly presented us with a number of high-quality candidates that had the skills and capabilities we were seeking and were the right cultural fit. As well, the team’s professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail were top notch. We especially valued their thoughtful approach to understanding our needs upfront, which ensured that the candidates we saw were not only capable on paper but also a strong fit for our organization. We were able to make an excellent hire in a short timeframe. We enthusiastically recommend them to any organization seeking top talent.

Dave Jones, CEO

KTG’s deep industry connections and guidance were invaluable in filling our SVP of Client Partnerships and Sales Director roles and securing an Independent Board Member. Their collaboration and communication were seamless, with weekly touchpoints and availability whenever needed. The impact of their work has been felt across our business—from our board to the media sales team.
