BRIX Recruiting Partners Heading to the 2025 Top 500 Live Conference in Las Vegas
We’re excited to share that the BRIX Recruiting Partners team will be attending the 2025 Top 500 Live Conference at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas from November 17–19.
This year’s conference, hosted by Qualified Remodeler, brings together the nation’s leading home improvement companies for three days of learning, connection, and collaboration.
Representing BRIX at the event will be:
- Andrew Henke, Sr. Managing Partner
- Ryanne Millis, Managing Partner
- David Jamison, Sr. Recruiter
Together, they’ll join hundreds of business owners, sales leaders, and industry innovators to exchange ideas about how the home improvement industry can continue to grow and adapt heading into 2026.
Why Top 500 Live Matters
For more than a decade, Top 500 Live has been the go-to event for the nation’s largest and fastest-growing home improvement companies.
It brings together leaders from remodeling, replacement, and exterior improvement businesses to focus on one thing: building better, more profitable organizations.
The sessions cover everything from lead generation and sales performance to technology, marketing, and leadership development. Speakers include top executives from some of the most successful home improvement companies in the country, along with consultants and industry experts who share what’s working in today’s marketplace.
For BRIX Recruiting Partners, this conference is especially meaningful. Our firm was built to serve this exact industry — home improvement companies that are scaling and need strong leadership teams to keep up with demand.
Being part of this event allows us to deepen relationships, share insights, and continue to position BRIX as a trusted recruiting partner to many of the companies in attendance.

What Makes This Event So Valuable
The home improvement industry continues to evolve quickly. Consumer expectations, marketing channels, and lead sources are changing at a rapid pace.
Companies that once relied solely on canvassing or traditional advertising now balance those efforts with digital marketing, data-driven decision-making, and innovative approaches to customer engagement.
Top 500 Live offers a front-row seat to how leading companies are navigating these changes.
Topics include:
- The impact of AI and automation on marketing and sales processes
- How the best brands are adapting their messaging and customer journey
- Strategies for maintaining brand trust and authenticity in an increasingly digital world
- Building meaningful partnerships within the industry to drive growth and collaboration
These conversations go far beyond recruiting — they’re about how the home improvement industry continues to innovate, strengthen relationships, and evolve to meet the expectations of modern homeowners.
How This Benefits BRIX Clients
For our clients, attending Top 500 Live is more than an opportunity for networking — it’s an investment in knowledge that we bring directly back to our partnerships.
When BRIX connects with industry leaders and decision-makers at events like this, we gain valuable perspective on what’s driving success, how companies are adapting to market shifts, and what leadership and growth will look like in the years ahead.
That information directly shapes how we advise and support our clients moving forward.

- Better Market Intelligence: Fresh insight into compensation ranges, leadership structures, and hiring trends specific to home improvement companies.
- Stronger Client Relationships: Deeper partnerships with companies we already serve — learning firsthand how to support their evolving goals.

- Added Value for Clients: Smarter, faster, and more strategic hiring solutions informed by real-time industry insights.
BRIX’s Approach to Recruiting
Recruiting in home improvement is unique — fast-paced, people-driven, and highly competitive.
The best talent rarely applies through job boards because they’re already succeeding in their current roles. That’s why BRIX takes a proactive headhunting approach.
With over 12 years of experience recruiting within this industry, we’ve built a national network and deep relationships across every corner of the home improvement space.
Our recruiters personally speak with and vet every candidate before presenting them to a client. We ensure each introduction reflects not only skill but also alignment with company culture, values, and long-term goals.
Our success is driven by communication, relationship building, and an authentic human touch. Every search we conduct is handled with care and a genuine understanding of what makes both people and companies thrive.
What We’re Excited to Learn
Each year, the Top 500 Live event highlights forward-thinking ideas and powerful discussions that shape the future of home improvement.
This year, our team is eager to explore how advancements in AI, technology, and marketing are changing the customer experience — and how top companies are continuing to build meaningful relationships with their customers, employees, and industry peers.
We’re also excited to connect face-to-face with many of our long-standing clients and industry friends, strengthening relationships that help move the industry forward.
Collaboration and connection are at the heart of Top 500 Live — and they’re also at the heart of BRIX.
Looking Ahead to 2026
The timing of this conference couldn’t be better. As the year winds down, many companies are finalizing their growth plans and hiring goals for 2026.
What we learn in Las Vegas will help our clients make smarter, faster, and more strategic decisions about how to position their teams for the year ahead.
Whether that means expanding into new territories, refining leadership structures, or exploring innovative ways to attract and retain talent, our goal remains the same — to help our clients build the kind of teams that drive sustainable growth.
