Our new hire is already completing his 2nd week and is really doing well. I enjoyed working with Lauren. She’s professional and has exceptional follow through. I will definitely keep her on my list to refer to other colleagues searching for potential candidates.

Client Reviews
Vice President & General Manager – Industrial Mechanics
Jon has been incredible end-to-end. The talent he has brought us exceeds expectations, his communication is phenomenal, highly engaged, and he understands our business/culture. He moves fast and is aggressive which is critical for us as we grow. He has become our go-to recruiter for all things sales, engineering, management, Sr. leadership.
Hiring Manager – Technology Firm
Zac was great to work with throughout the process. He got me some great candidates to review and interview, while also using some to help calibrate his understanding of what I needed. All of which I appreciated.
Putting aside the talent pool aspect, what I appreciated about Zac was his clear communication and alignment with our goals. First, he did not create any arbitrary walls between me and the candidate(s), which was a major positive. Second, the way he handled the entire process showed he had the same goal as me in “find the right person to fill the opportunity we have” while also making sure he is “finding the right opportunity for the person in his candidate pool”. My point is I truly felt he was looking at finding the match from both perspectives, which to me is extremely important when someone is recruiting for me. Putting himself in both sets of shoes is what I believe maximizes the likelihood of a solid hire.
I definitely will look to work with Zac as future opportunities arise.
Operations Manager – Ecommerce Software
Kyle was great – he did exactly what I expected; without bugging me too much. He did his job and checked in to keep me on track, but also didn’t do so inappropriately. I appreciated that balance. I have a million things to do every day and I don’t have time to talk to the recruiter every day about every single thing (some do this); but Kyle had for me, a great balance of sending me candidates and checking in/pushing me along to get the job done.
I thought he did a great job understanding what I asked for after the first contact. I didn’t have to follow up and provide more context – he nailed it right out of the gate. He heard me! The candidates I interviewed were high-quality fits for the role and I ultimately ended up hiring one of them!
I would definitely work with Kyle and Skywater again.
Hiring Manager – Financial Capital Firm
Matt originally started sourcing an Accounting Manager candidate for my team and after our business needs changed, he helped me quickly pivot to figuring out what the team truly needed by listening, understanding the industry, and being in the loop on emerging industry talent. Matt only presented top talent and scoured the market to find the best of the best. I quickly realized that, unlike many recruiters, Matt never ‘wasted my time’ when he sent me an email with a resume; it was always a resume I should be looking at. When we were at the 1-yard line he continued to go above and beyond and gave me language on the Minneapolis accounting & finance market and labor statistics to further support the nature of our hiring decision. Matt was a trusted partner throughout this whole process – flexible, professional & intelligent. I will FOR SURE be calling him in the future as the team grows.
VP Industrial Sales – Equipment Manufacturing
The overall experience was good when dealing with SkyWater. Alec is in continual communication with us.
Director of Software Engineering – SaaS Company

Vice President – Building & Development Firm
Day 1 (yesterday) with our new hire was great! Day 2 (today) is starting off great too! : ) The process of working with Matt was very easy and he was extremely informative. He made the entire process less stressful!
HR Manager – Real Estate Company
I enjoyed working with Tom as he demonstrated great active listening skills and responded promptly with candidates and follow-ups. His communication made me feel that he was as invested in finding a solution as I was.
Financial Director – Healthcare Provider
We had a great experience working with Nicole. She took the time to understand the job we were trying to fill and find a good fit. She had great follow-up after candidates were interviewed.
