Our Story

Quest Groups was founded in 2001 by Joe Kosakowski with the goal of approaching the recruiting industry differently. Joe’s deep passion for service inspired him to build a recruiting firm that cares about employees, clients, candidates, and the community.

Consistently named one of Idaho’s Best Places to Work and one of the top recruiting firms in the US, Quest Groups has built a elite network of venture capital investors, startups and top technology-focused candidates in top-tier startup markets including San Francisco, Silicon Valley, New York City, Austin, Boston, Denver, Seattle, Salt Lake and Boise.

The key to our growth is who we know. Our new company clients almost exclusively come from referrals from satisfied company clients.

Our candidate networks know and trust us after 21 years in the technical recruiting business, often contacting us each time they are back on the market.

Our strength is who we know and how well we treat them, which is how we do business better than the competition.

WE’RE A MISSION-BASED

COMPANY

Our relationships matter, but so does our mission. We wake up each day with a single focus: to change the future of recruiting to help companies and candidates achieve more, together.

This mission manifests itself in everything we do, from getting to know each client company’s culture inside and out, to developing our own recruiting technology platform, Talentpair, that utilizes data science to give our recruiters IA-powered abilities to make better matches between candidates and jobs.

Throughout our 21 years in business, we’ve given back to the community by supporting the Tim Tebow Foundation, Make-A-Wish Foundation, The Boys and Girls Club, American Veterans, and the Boise Rescue Mission.

WE KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO

SCALE A COMPANY FAST

When you need to scale your company, Quest Groups provides custom recruiting solutions–we’ve been there ourselves.

Quest Groups is the classic startup in the garage story. What started as a man with a phone and a rolodex has grown into an industry leader, scaling venture-backed startups with over 30 full-time recruiters, a data science and engineering team and an executive leadership team – each with over a 10 year tenure at Quest Groups.

Scaling startups isn’t easy. We’ve experienced all the growing pains that our clients are feeling when they reach out for help. We know how to weather those storms and walk the talk while providing expert talent acquisition advice and services.
