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 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.
