Conexus

Conexus Recruiting operates as a specialized human capital firm with a strong focus on placements in Finance, Accounting, Human Resources, and Technology. Founded in 2012 by Sean Gill and later joined by partner Mike Kelly, the firm was initially established as an executive search company concentrating on the office of the CFO. Gill, who began his recruitment career in 1999, has completed over 1,000 searches in fields like Finance, Accounting, Audit, and Tax before establishing Conexus. Kelly brought over two decades of experience in accounting, advisory, and human capital solutions, having previously founded and sold other professional services firms.

The firm's business model is centered on providing Interim Consulting, Executive Search, and Direct Hire solutions. It serves a diverse clientele that includes Fortune 500 companies, private equity-backed businesses, VC-backed startups, and rapidly growing middle-market organizations, primarily in Southern California. Revenue is generated by placing professionals in interim, project-based, and permanent roles, addressing the staffing needs of its clients from staff accountants to C-level executives. The company emphasizes a high-touch, relationship-driven approach, noting that 95% of its placements come from its existing network rather than public job platforms. Conexus’s service offerings include providing experienced professionals for consulting assignments, executive-level searches, and direct-hire placements.

A significant milestone in the company's history was the 2020 merger between Conexus Search and Citadel CFO, an Orange County-based interim consulting firm, which expanded its service offerings. This was followed by the launch of a Technology Recruiting practice in late 2021. The firm has pursued an aggressive growth strategy through acquisitions, including Logis CFO in 2023 and CV Resources in 2024, to broaden its service capabilities and geographic reach into markets like the Pacific Northwest. In early 2023, Conexus received a strategic investment from Re-Sourcing Holdings and McNally Capital to fuel its expansion. This series of strategic moves has significantly increased its market presence and revenue, with combined revenues exceeding $50 million after the Logis acquisition.
