Talent Partners
Your strategic partner in building exceptional teams and guiding talented professionals toward their next great opportunity.
A New Approach to Recruiting
Great companies are built by great leaders—but finding the right executive talent isn’t just about filling a role. It’s about finding someone who embodies the company’s vision, fuels its culture, and drives meaningful impact. Yet, too often, businesses settle for short-term solutions that don’t truly fit.
That’s why Pathway Talent Partners was created—to bring a more thoughtful, high-touch, and results-driven approach to recruitment. We go beyond resumes and job descriptions, taking the time to understand an organization’s DNA—its culture, values, and long-term goals. Then, we strategically connect companies with talent who don’t just meet the criteria on paper but fit seamlessly into the fabric of
the business.
Based in St. Paul, Minnesota, and backed by decades of experience in the dynamic Twin Cities market, we specialize in delivering customized talent solutions that drive success for both clients and candidates.
