Fahrenheit Advisors Named to Forbes’ 2025 List of “America’s Best Executive Recruiting Firms”
Richmond, VA (August 27, 2025) — Fahrenheit Advisors, a management consulting and advisory firm that specializes in executive search, has been recognized by Forbes as one of “America’s Best Executive Recruiting Firms” for 2025, ranking #129 out of 175 firms nationwide. The annual list highlights firms that specialize in filling executive roles with salaries of $100,000 and above.
To compile the rankings, Forbes partners with market-research company Statista to survey thousands of human resources executives, hiring managers, and candidates who have worked with recruiting firms. Firms are evaluated based on client satisfaction, peer recommendations, and demonstrated success in matching top talent with the right opportunities.
“This honor is a proud milestone for our Executive Search practice and for Fahrenheit Advisors as a whole,” said John Griffin, Managing Director and Executive Search & Recruiting Practice Leader at Fahrenheit Advisors. “Our clients don’t see us as a typical search firm—they see us as trusted partners who understand their business, their culture, and their goals. By combining executive search with interim and advisory support, we help organizations not only identify leaders but also position them for long-term success.”
The recognition highlights Fahrenheit’s unique blend of executive search expertise and broader advisory services. In addition to identifying and placing top full-time talent, the firm provides interim and fractional leadership solutions specifically in Finance & Accounting and Human Capital — ensuring clients have the right expertise in place to move forward while long-term roles are filled. This integrated approach enables organizations not only to secure the leaders they need but also to build sustainable growth strategies.
