About Us

You deserve results and to make the most of your business endeavors

A Matter of Trust

It’s a small world today, that’s for sure. In many cases, there aren’t six degrees of separation, but rather just one. And that’s fine with us. My work in Santa Barbara County began when I graduated from UCSB (twice). Over the past two decades, The Widroe Group has built a sterling reputation, not only as a great search partner, but also as a trusted, knowledgable resource for employers and candidates alike. As such, we don’t do a whole lot of advertising or marketing.

The business just keeps coming year after year through warm referrals from satisfied clients, friends, and associates. We have the utmost confidence in our ability to satisfy client needs, and all of our work is backed up with a guarantee.

The Art and Science of Search

The work we do is highly consultative in nature, discreet when appropriate, and follows a refined methodology that includes the engagement of trusted sourcing partners in California and throughout the nation. This recipe for success begins by working closely and exclusively with the very best employers and career opportunities.

Next, throw in a network of thousands of quality relationships developed over decades of friendship and collaboration, a relentless pursuit of the top talent available, and a dogged persistence to get the job done right the first time, and you get great candidates who often end up serving in positions of leadership, responsibility, and productivity for many years at a time.

A Highly Consultative Approach

For decades we have partnered with leaders that need a highly consultative approach to their staffing needs. The highly consultative part comes from listening, really listening to hiring managers. We want to know the culture, the value proposition, the work flow, the people, the history, the background, the product, and more.

Equipped with that knowledge, we become evangelists for each position we need to fill. Whether its banking, healthcare, technology, software, professional services, CPA firms, law offices, healthcare providers, government agencies, retail operations, estate management, or any other sector, we keep on doing good things for productive people.
