Who we are…

Founded in the heart of Anchorage, Alaska Executive Search (AES) has been connecting people and opportunities across the state since 1977. For over four decades, we’ve proudly served as one of Alaska’s most trusted staffing partners, building a legacy defined by integrity, reliability, and a deep commitment to the communities we serve.

From our beginnings as a small, locally owned firm, we’ve grown alongside Alaska—adapting to its evolving workforce needs while remaining grounded in the values that define our state: resilience, hard work, and mutual respect. Over the years, we’ve helped thousands of Alaskans find meaningful employment, and hundreds of local businesses grow their teams with confidence.

Our history isn’t just about staffing—it’s about people. We’ve partnered with hospitals in rural towns, supported infrastructure projects in remote regions, and placed professionals in roles that have shaped entire communities. With every placement, we’ve strengthened Alaska’s workforce and contributed to its future.

AES is proudly Alaskan-owned and operated, and we take pride in our role as a bridge between talent and opportunity across this unique and challenging landscape. Our story is woven into the fabric of Alaska—and we look forward to continuing that journey, one connection at a time.

The People are not just the input or the output, they are the lifeblood that just makes Alaska work.
