It’s not every day you get to share news that truly makes you swell with pride, but today is one of those days for all of us at Stahl Recruiting. We just received word that ManageHR Magazine has named us the 2025 Top Railway Executive Search Firm.


To say we’re thrilled would be an understatement. This isn't just an award; it's a powerful validation of the dedication, expertise, and sheer hard work our team pours into every search. For me, personally, it brings back memories of how far we’ve come.


Just last year, in 2024, we were recognized by the same esteemed publication as a "Top Emerging Executive Search Firm." That was a fantastic moment, a nod to our growing presence and the impact we were starting to make. It felt like a promise of things to come. And now, just one year later, to be elevated to "Top Railway Executive Search Firm" – it feels like that promise has been fulfilled, and then some.


Stahl Recruiting wasn't built overnight. It began with a simple, yet profound, belief: that the railway industry, with its unique complexities and critical importance, deserved a recruitment partner who truly understood its nuances.

We didn't want to be just another generalist firm; we wanted to be the specialists, the go-to experts who could speak the language of rail, understand the specific challenges, and identify leaders who could truly drive progress.


From those early days, our focus has always been on quality over quantity, on building deep relationships, and on ensuring the perfect fit – not just for skills, but for culture and long-term vision. We’ve invested in understanding the intricate workings of freight, passenger, and transit rail, from engineering to operations to executive leadership. This specialized approach, coupled with an unwavering commitment to our clients and candidates, has been the cornerstone of our growth.


This 2025 recognition by ManageHR Magazine isn't just a trophy on a shelf; it's a reflection of the trust our clients place in us and the incredible talent of our team. It motivates us even further to continue raising the bar, to keep innovating, and to remain the dedicated partner you've come to rely on for all your railway executive search needs.


We're excited for what the future holds, and we're deeply grateful to everyone who has been a part of this journey.
