Proudly helping our clients
build rock solid teams
since 2012

For over a decade, BRIX Recruiting Partners has been a trusted executive search partner to growth-minded organizations nationwide. Founded in Minnesota, BRIX was built on one principle: great companies are built by great people — and those people are rarely browsing job boards.

We take a proactive, headhunting-based approach to recruiting. Rather than waiting for talent to apply, we directly engage high-impact professionals who are already succeeding in their roles. It’s a method that has allowed us to place proven talent and become recognized as a go-to recruiting partner in the industries we serve.

Our Verticals

BRIX specializes in three core verticals:

  • Home Improvement & Remodeling
    Our Home Improvement Division partners with some of the fastest-growing interior and exterior remodeling companies in the country. We’ve helped clients recruit C-Level, Regional Leadership, Managers involved in Sales, Operations, Installation, Marketing including call center and event leadership talent who directly impact revenue and scalability.

  • Building Materials & B2B Manufacturing
    Our Building Materials team focuses on hiring across outside sales, channel development, operations, marketing, and executive leadership — partnering with manufacturers and distributors to find professionals who can drive long-term growth.

  • Roofing (Residential & Commercial)
    From multi-state residential roofers to high-growth commercial contractors, our Roofing Division understands the unique challenges of this trade. We fill leadership and field-facing roles by leveraging deep industry knowledge and a proven recruiting process that gets results.

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.

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.

Ryanne and her team are professional, detail-oriented, and deliver exceptional results. I would highly recommend making BRIX your go-to partner for any hiring needs.

CEO

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.
