By Jessica Adamee | Blog, Working with Recruiters The Newell Group: Proud to Be Part of a Forbes Top 15 Executive Search Firm

At The Newell Group, we believe that partnerships drive success. That belief is validated once again as Management Recruiters International (MRI)—our parent network—has been named to the 2025 Forbes list of America’s Best Executive Recruiting Firms, securing a place among the Top 15.
This recognition is more than a number—it reflects the collective efforts of MRI’s global network of specialized recruiting firms who consistently deliver high-impact talent solutions to clients across industries. As a division of MRI, The Newell Group is proud to bring the depth and strength of this network to every search we conduct.
What Does This Mean for Our Clients?
Being part of a Forbes-ranked executive search firm isn’t just a badge of honor—it’s a strategic advantage for our clients. Here’s how:
1. National Reach, Local Expertise
With access to MRI’s expansive network, we can identify talent across geographies while still maintaining the personal, boutique-level service our clients rely on.
2. Specialized Industry Knowledge
Our recruiters are deeply embedded in their respective industries—whether it’s orthotics and prosthetics, supply chain, logistics, or food & beverage manufacturing. We speak your language and understand the nuances of your market.
3. Access to Hidden Talent Pools
Top-tier talent isn’t always active on the market. Through MRI’s network, we tap into exclusive candidate pipelines that traditional search methods often miss.
4. Proven Search Methodologies
For over 50 years, MRI has refined its search strategies to deliver results with precision and speed. Our team at The Newell Group brings that same level of discipline and expertise to every client partnership.

Forbes compiles this prestigious list based on recommendations from both hiring managers and executive candidates. To be recognized among the Top 15 in a field crowded with thousands of recruiting firms is a testament to the trust our clients and candidates place in MRI and in The Newell Group.
