Welcome to Wentworth Executive Recruiting
​
"Mindful Executive Search"
The Wentworth Method
​
Wentworth Executive Recruiting is a leading talent search firm in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our unique “mindful recruiting” approach is different from traditional executive search methodologies. The Wentworth Method combines deep personal interaction with our job candidates supported by the most advanced search software. We also become thoroughly knowledgeable about our clients’ business, their industry, and competitors. This enables us to achieve an extraordinary 94% two-year retention average for our placements.
​
Our specialties include a range of industries that are making a significant impact on the future: Solar, renewable energy, construction, technology, cleantech, and bioscience, although we have conducted successful searches in other fields as well.
​
Our focus is on mid-level and C-level executives: Engineers, Product Managers, Marketing and Sales Managers, CEOs, CFOs, CMOs, Construction (Project Managers, Project Coordinators, Operations Directors, Estimators, Facilities Directors) and Research Scientists are just a few of the positions we have found talented people for our clients.
We are the only executive recruiting firm that produces custom videos and ads to support every job search, which we distribute across all popular social media, LinkedIn, and select job boards---at no additional cost.
We charge a all inclusive fee for our services. Nothing more.
​
Your company will thrive (or not) based on the quality of the talent you add to your staff. We help you find the best people for your company.

The Wentworth Executive
Recruiting Method
Recruiting has often been criticized (and justifiably so) for being sales driven. Our firm is people driven.
While we invest heavily in the most advanced sourcing and recruiting technology, our unique style is highly personal.
It is our goal to help our clients build world-class teams that drive their future success by finding the “critical hires” that help drive innovation and are a seamless culture fit for the company.
SAN FRANCISCO'S
RENEWABLE ENERGY AND CLEANTECH RECRUITERS
We specialize in renewable energy, cleantech, and fintech recruiting.
We not only search for top job candidates with skills and experience in renewable energy industries, we also want people who are passionate about work that impacts the world in a positive way.
​
SAN FRANCISCO'S CONSTRUCTION RECRUITERS
​
We literally grew up with a love for construction
(Carol Ann’s father was a builder). Our construction recruiting
clients include commercial interior, luxury home, real estate development, life science and multi-family building companies.
BUILDING YOUR C-SUITE
THE CRITICAL HIRES
Besides our core competency in renewable energy and construction recruiting, we have worked with a variety of companies in other industries . . . from automotive to biomedical to regenerative agriculture . . . to find top talent in sales and marketing, M&A, technology, engineering, and C-level executives. It's our "suite" spot.
SUCCESSFUL PLACEMENTS
WE BUILD TEAMS, ONE EXCEPTIONAL PERSON AT A TIME.
