Bryant Group Named to Forbes Best Executive Recruiting Firms 2026 List, Ranked #36

DALLAS, TX – May 2026 – Bryant Group, a national leader in executive search and leadership development, has been named to Forbes’ 2026 list of America’s Best Executive Recruiting Firms, earning the #36 spot nationwide, chosen out of thousands of executive firms nationwide. This marks the firm’s third time receiving the honor and its second consecutive year on the list.

The annual ranking, developed in partnership with Statista, is based on survey responses from thousands of recruiters, HR leaders, hiring managers recognizing firms that consistently deliver high-quality outcomes and create lasting partnerships.

“Being recognized by Forbes—especially multiple times—is meaningful because it reflects the trust of the people we serve,” said Sally Bryant, CEO of Bryant Group. “Organizations are losing millions every year to people problems—missed hires, misalignment and leadership gaps. We believe great leadership changes everything and we’re here to help our clients build leadership that lasts.”

Bryant Group partners with mission-driven organizations across higher education, healthcare and the nonprofit sector to recruit and develop leaders who create long-term impact. The firm’s approach emphasizes alignment, culture fit and sustained performance—going beyond transactional placements to deliver lasting results.

In addition to executive search, Bryant Group provides leadership development, coaching and talent strategy services to help organizations strengthen teams, create growth from within, and retain excellent leaders. “Earning this recognition again—and consecutively—speaks to the consistency of our work and the trust our clients place in us,” said Chris Bingley, President of Bryant Group. “We’re grateful to be part of their leadership journey.”
