What we do

We’re tenaciously dedicated to connecting the brightest professionals with the best companies for long-term, mutual success.

We attract proven professionals in sales, marketing, product development, strategy and planning, compliance, finance and accounting – from mid-level managers to C-suite executives.

Talent Strategy

We are continuously building relationships to ensure we’re able to provide clients with the right talent at all times, rather than merely the best talent available at that moment. We provide direct placement and fractional executives.

We earn repeat business from clients by ensuring our placements are long-term solutions that deliver. Our high service standards coupled with a strong set of ethics set us apart.

FINDING THE PERFECT FIT

Whether you’re seeking an ideal candidate or an ideal job, we’ll work one-on-one with you to understand your goals and determine the right roadmap for success.

Why we’re different

Thanks to our trusted, long-term partnerships and collaborative approach, we’re able to attract and engage the best fit for a wide range of positions nationwide. We offer both retained and fractional search models and we guarantee our placements.

From Our Clients

Whether we’re working with the largest companies in the world or a small, privately held business, Gehl Search Partners is fully dedicated to our clients’ hiring success. In fact, our reputation and business depend on it. Here is just some of the praise we’ve received for that dedication.

“We’ve enjoyed working with Liz, and greatly appreciate the effort and attention to detail she provides throughout the process.  Running a professional search is critical for many of the important roles we’ve tried to fill, and Liz understands the process and consistently delivers fantastic applicants and results.”

Brian Zucker

Co-Owner, K&L Wine Merchants

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Liz for several years now.  She has completed numerous successful searches for us.  She is honest, straightforward, and holds integrity through the process.  She works hard to bring both sides together, but doesn’t stop there with her support.  She is constantly checking in with both employees and employer to make sure placements are successful.

I hired Liz to recruit talent for Bhang on a trial basis after reading the Ganjapreneur feature. She has been careful, thoughtful, thorough and diligent. She gives good feedback, follows up, and makes astute recommendations. We haven’t looked back. High high props – pun intended!

“Liz Gehl, Gehl Search Partners, has been spearheading our Cannabis Resume and Mock Interview clinics at Success Centers since 2019 and has developed a unique way to assist our clients who are often from marginalized community, with reinventing themselves on paper. These resumes created by Liz are used by our staff to submit to employers on behalf of these clients who have acquired positions at various cannabis companies in San Francisco and surrounding areas. In 2022, Liz began working with our cohorts of the DKI Equity Pathways Cannabis Industry training program and assisted over 30 cohort members with resumes for their externships. We have enjoyed our partnership with Liz as a volunteer providing this service to our community and hope that she will continue to support us through in-kind donation of her valuable time.”
