About

Boutique by design.

Every great team is built one strong hire at a time.

Strong Talent Partners was founded on a simple idea: the best hires come from recruiters who understand both the technology and the people behind it.

Our experience includes recruiting for organizations like Northwestern Mutual, Nike, Subaru, Blue Cross Blue Shield, the Department of Defense, and the Federal Reserve Bank, backed by formal training in Business Informatics at Indiana University and Data Science at Purdue University.

You work directly with the person leading your search, not a rotating cast of account managers. That means real attention, consistent communication, and a partner who knows your search inside and out.
