Our History

January 2012

Andy Wright Launches the Search Firm

Before we were BRIX we were Grapevine! Same mission to help build strong teams but a different name.

BRIX began in Andy’s unfinished basement where he recruited for various industries ranging from home improvement to building products, process engineering, fluid power, combustion, & fasteners.

January 2012

First Client Within The First Week

From the beginning, we have been committed to excellent customer service & client management. This is evident as we were able to land & retain our first client, an overhead door dealer company in Kentucky, within the first week of opening!

September 2012

First Office

In order to grow the team & expand our space, BRIX takes up residency in Edina, Minnesota.

September 2014

CHASKA, MN OUR NEW HOME AND OUR BRICK BACKSTORY

New office location in Chaska, Minnesota, offering not just a great view but a rich history as well!

Our office overlooks a park that was once a brick mining site for the Chaska Brick Industry, which thrived from 1857 to 1950. This industry produced the distinctive cream-colored "Chaska bricks" that became iconic in the area.

When we rebranded to BRIX in 2019, we drew inspiration from this fascinating local history as a tribute to the town's brick-making legacy.

INDUSTRY NICHING

After much discussion, we determined the best way to provide specialized services for our clients was to niche; So moving forward, BRIX team members would be subject matter experts who are 100% dedicated to the industries they serve. From there, internal niche-focused teams of recruiters continued to enhance their industry knowledge & build their networks of clients and candidates within their respective verticals.

TESTIMONIALS

What Our Clients and Networks Are Saying

I worked with Ryanne and her team at BRIX on a search this year and was very pleased with the results. Ryanne captured what we were looking for: the ideal candidate including background, experience, and accomplishments. Importantly, she did an excellent job understanding our company culture and, in turn, identified candidates who also aligned with our culture. I was impressed with the candidates the team sourced and also the guidance and feedback Ryanne and team gave me. Working with Ryanne was a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend her.

Jess Holker was very helpful, professional, and very supportive through the whole process. Helped setup meetings, gave helpful advice, and found a strong match for me quickly. I would recommend to anyone that is looking to get the support they need in finding a new position for work.

Over the years and in different capacities, I have worked with 6 or 7 different reps at BRIX and while I can’t slight anyone there nor any experience I’ve had with them, I feel compelled to take a moment to shout out how great my experience has been with Kelli Kendall. Poor Kelli was thrust upon me when my prior BRIX partner left the company and I could not be happier with the level of attention that she has placed upon me and upon my unique situation. She really gets to know her candidates and her hiring companies and truly navigates playing career matchmaker in a way that is so attuned to the needs of each that it must be an innate skill. I simply don’t know how someone can learn that level of concern and never falter dogmatically. Big fan of Ryanne, , Jeff, Andy, Andrew, and the gang but this shout out is all about the one and only Kelli Kendall!  Thank you KK!

BRIX is awesome! I specifically worked with Jessica Holker and she was incredible. Jess was very informed, responsive, professional and personable, and helped me prepare before each interview. One of the best recruiters I have ever worked with. I highly suggest both businesses and individuals to work with them!
