At CBIZ Talent Solutions, formerly EFL Associates, we don’t just fill positions. We help organizations find leaders who move them forward.
As part of the Benefits and Insurance division of CBIZ, we offer the strength and resources of a national organization combined with the agility and personal touch of a boutique firm. For more than 45 years, our team has built a reputation of excellence in executive search, consistently ranking in the top 2% of more than 2,500 retainer-based firms nationwide.
Recently, the Kansas City Business Journal recognized CBIZ Talent Solutions as the number one executive search firm in Kansas City – a testament to our legacy of success.
National Recognition, Personal Service
From coast to coast, CBIZ Talent Solutions partners with clients across all industries and sectors, yet our service always feels close to home. We take pride in building lasting relationships, providing the responsiveness and attentiveness of a smaller firm while leveraging the resources of a national leader.
Our proprietary database of more than 700,000 professional contacts gives us an unparalleled reach. However, every search we conduct is powered by original, hands-on research – not recycled lists – ensuring we uncover the most qualified, and often undiscovered, talent in the market.
The Power of In-House Research
Whereas many firms outsource or offshore their research, we invest in a full-time, in-house research team. This gives us complete control over quality, timing, and focus. Our researchers conduct custom, original market mapping for every engagement, allowing us to move quickly, pivot strategically, and deliver results that reflect our clients’ evolving needs.
This internal capability sets us apart – offering speed, accuracy, and the confidence that every name surfaced has been vetted and verified by our own experts.
Comprehensive Talent Solutions
Our work extends beyond executive search. We help organizations attract, retain, and grow exceptional talent through an integrated suite of services that aligns people strategy with business strategy.
Our capabilities include:
- Retained Executive Search: High-touch, milestone-driven engagements that identify and secure transformative leaders.
- Contingent Search: Flexible, performance-based recruiting for critical professional and mid-management roles.
- Leadership Development: Coaching and development programs that strengthen leadership pipelines and enhance organizational performance.
- Career Transition Services: Personalized outplacement and coaching solutions that help organizations support employees through change and into new opportunities.
- Compensation Consulting: In partnership with CBIZ specialists, we provide market-driven compensation analysis, executive pay benchmarking, and total rewards strategies.
Together, these services create a holistic approach to talent – one that ensures organizations not only find the right leaders but help them thrive.

Experienced. Collaborative. Invested.
Every search is a team effort. Our consultants, recruiters, and researchers work collaboratively to craft and execute a search strategy tailored to your organization’s goals.
