Built for Better Search

Executive Search Discipline and a Closer Client Relationship

TalentGrid Search partners with companies across the U.S. on professional through executive-level searches, using market intelligence and direct sourcing to shape each engagement. As a founder-led firm, we give clients direct communication and a clear view of the search behind every candidate we present. Our searches span manufacturing, supply chain, and business functions.

Before reaching out to candidates, we learn the business, the team, and what the hire needs to accomplish. That context guides where we source and which experience is truly comparable. Clients have 24/7 access to the candidate pipeline and work directly with the person leading the search, with visibility from initial outreach through interviews and offer.

Our History

Two Decades of Experience
Shaped the TalentGrid Model

Ron Ehrhardt founded TalentGrid after 20 years in talent acquisition and search, including roles with ManpowerGroup, eBay, and Wayfair. Along the way, he built relationships with thousands of candidates, colleagues, hiring managers, and business leaders across a wide range of functions and industries.

TalentGrid combines the search expertise developed through those experiences with greater visibility into the search and clear ownership of each engagement. The firm emphasizes thoughtful strategy, respectful candidate conversations, and long-term client relationships.

What We Do

Build the Search Before Starting the Outreach

Every engagement starts with the business need to understand the role, team, and desired outcome. We use that context to identify comparable organizations, source candidates, assess their experience, and guide the process through selection. Clients have clear visibility into the search as it progresses.
