Z3Talent | Mid-Year Update – 2025
It’s been a strange year.
The first quarter was one of the busiest we’ve seen in a long time. Then, almost overnight, things slowed down significantly. Like many firms in our space, we felt it. The good news: momentum is picking back up. We’ve got some strong opportunities in front of us—including a CEO search for a 400-person professional finance and accounting firm that we’re excited to kick off.
Recent Placements We’re Proud Of:
Over the past few months, we’ve had the privilege of partnering with some great clients to place top-tier leaders. A few highlights:
General Manager – Colorado-based auto services company
VP of Operations – Healthcare insurance provider
VP of Finance – Healthcare insurance provider
Head of Sales – Luxury consumer product business
Head of Operations – Construction firm
VP of HR – High-tech manufacturing company
Open to Referrals:
We’re actively working on a CFO search for a Denver-based environmental services business backed by private equity.
Highlights:
This month marks the 10-year anniversary of placing Greg Fullerton as VP of HR at Tectonic. A true success story—congrats, Greg.
We were honored to be recognized again by Hunt Scanlon as one of the Top 250 Executive Search Firms in the U.S.
For the 4th year, ColoradoBiz Magazine named us the #1 Recruiting Firm in Colorado.
Upcoming Events:
Our Suits on the Court program is back this summer with former ATP pro Jeff Salzenstein. Save the dates: August 6 and September 15 (4–6pm at Gates Tennis Center)
