A recruiting agency rooted in Chicago’s north side
We connect standout candidates with companies worth working for — one well-made match at a time.
What we do
We place candidates across Chicagoland in roles from the front office to the engineering floor — and we sweat the details the big national firms skip.
We recruit in the city we live in. That means real knowledge of Chicago neighborhoods, commutes, salary bands, and the companies actually worth your time.
Every candidate gets a real conversation, not a keyword scan. Every employer gets a shortlist we'd stake our name on — never a stack of maybes.
We measure success in placements that stick. If a match isn't right for both sides, it doesn't happen. That's how a small agency earns repeat clients.

Who we are
North Side Recruiting was founded in 2025 on a simple observation: the best hires in this city happen through people who know it.
We’re a small team of recruiters working out of Chicago’s north side, placing candidates everywhere from the Loop to the North Shore. We keep our client list short on purpose — so every search gets senior attention.
How it works
Every search starts by understanding what you actually want — the role, the team, the trade-offs — not just matching keywords on a résumé.
Employers get a focused slate of genuinely vetted candidates. Candidates only hear about roles that truly fit. No spray-and-pray in either direction.
We handle the awkward parts — scheduling, feedback, offers — and check in after you start. A placement only counts if it lasts.
Whether you’re hunting for your next role or your next hire, it starts with a conversation.
