Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal recognizes Lakeside HR Group in its 2026 Fast 50 awards.
Lakeside HR Group is proud to announce its #9 ranking on the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal’s 2026 Fast 50 list, recognizing the fastest-growing privately held companies in the Twin Cities.
Celebrating its 30th year, the Fast 50 awards recognize 50 locally headquartered companies based on revenue growth from 2023 through 2025. This year’s list highlights businesses across the Twin Cities that have continued to grow and create opportunities in our local business community.
For Lakeside HR Group, the recognition comes at an especially exciting time as we celebrate our fifth anniversary and reflect on how far we’ve come.
Five Years of Building and Growing Lakeside HR Group
Founded in 2021, Lakeside HR Group has grown into an HR consulting and recruiting firm that helps organizations find exceptional talent and provides the HR expertise they need to support their people and businesses.
Over the past five years, we’ve had the opportunity to work alongside organizations of all sizes, helping them find the right people, strengthen their HR practices, and work through the challenges that come with running and growing a business. Along the way, we’ve grown our own team, expanded our services, and stayed true to the personal approach that Lakeside was built on.
“Five years ago, we set out to build a different kind of recruiting and HR consulting firm. What I’ve learned along the way is that growth isn’t just about getting bigger. It’s about building a business that can evolve, creating opportunities for talented people, and continuing to deliver the level of service our clients expect. Being ranked #9 is an exciting reflection of how far we’ve come and what we’re continuing to build.”
— Kristin Nordling, Founder, Lakeside HR Group

To our team, our clients, the candidates we’ve worked with, and the many people who have supported Lakeside along the way, thank you for being part of our story.
As we look ahead, we’re excited to keep doing what we love: connecting great people with great organizations and helping businesses build strong teams.
And of course, we had to celebrate!
