Company Description
First Search Inc. is a Chicago-area headhunting and recruitment firm with more than four decades of experience helping organizations—from startups to NYSE-listed enterprises—hire the right person for the right reason and the right role. Based in Elgin, Illinois, the team is known for a people-first approach that prioritizes live, in-depth conversations and rigorous vetting over high-volume resume churn, resulting in an exceptional conversion rate, including a placement for roughly every 3.4 candidates interviewed and a track record of 95%+ success on engagements.

Industry strengths include manufacturing and engineering, technology and telecommunications, aerospace, oil and gas, sales, and construction, as well as operations and logistics roles. Led by practitioners who actively recruit—Chief Employment Officer Al Katz, Chief Candidate Whisperer Sarah Katz, and senior recruiter Scott Krepps—the team’s hallmark is asking smarter questions that uncover true fit across technical competencies and culture, ensuring long-term performance and satisfaction for both clients and candidates.
