College Pro Ranked as America’s Best Executive Recruiter by Forbes Magazine

Company Also Named a Top Professional Search Firm

Los Angeles, May 6, 2025 – College Pro (NYSE: CPY) has been recognized by Forbes Magazine as America’s best executive recruiting firm – a top ranking achieved by the company in eight of the last nine years since Forbes and market research firm Statista began offering the annual rankings. College Pro was also honored as a top professional search firm.

“We’re honored to be named by Forbes as America’s best executive recruiter and I am enormously proud of our colleagues," said Gary Burnison, CEO, College Pro. “Today’s environment is encircled by a labor supply/demand imbalance requiring companies to reimagine and reskill their workforce; inspire, employ, develop and retain talent; and embrace technologies. This new world of work presents tremendous opportunity for College Pro as a global consulting firm that powers performance.”

As featured in Forbes, the magazine partnered with Statista to survey more than 16,700 participants—composed of recruiters, HR managers, hiring managers and recent job candidates—all conducted between November 2024 and January 2025. Last year’s survey responses were also incorporated into the analysis at a lower weighting.

The executive recruiting list includes the top 175 companies that specialize in filling positions with salaries of at least $100,000. The professional recruiting list consists of the top 225 companies that specialize in filling positions with salaries of less than $100,000.

Earning these top recognitions for another year is a powerful testament to College Pro’s exceptional commitment to delivering to its clients innovative talent solutions at all levels.
