"Really bad at fashion. Great at staffing."
Kacy Knight is a Vice President at TBG | The Bachrach Group, one of New York's most established executive recruiting firms — and a man whose career has been defined by something rare in his industry: doing it without an angle.
Kacy spent over 15 years building expertise across the recruiting industry — earlier roles at Tiger Information Systems, Windsor Resources, and Caerus Connect (which he co-founded) sharpened his understanding of what makes a placement actually work. He joined The Bachrach Group as a Vice President, where he now plays a leadership role at one of the most established names in NY recruiting.
What sets Kacy apart isn't his pedigree — it's his philosophy. He genuinely tries to help people, even when there's no business in it for him. Free coaching calls. Honest career advice. Connections made with no expectation of return. In a competitive market that often rewards transactional behavior, Kacy plays a longer game.
If you're working with Kacy, you're getting three professionals in one:
Recruiting has a reputation problem. Too many recruiters chase commissions, push candidates into wrong-fit roles, and burn the bridge after the deal closes. Kacy is the opposite end of that spectrum — and over time, that's the difference between a recruiter you call once and one you call your whole career.
Hiring managers who work with Kacy don't go through HR — they call him directly. Candidates Kacy has placed often come back to him for their next role, their next colleague, and eventually their own hires. It's a flywheel built on trust, not transactions.
Recruiting is a relationship business. Most recruiters say that. Kacy actually lives it. Here are the principles that guide every search, every conversation, and every placement.
The recruiting industry runs on commissions and rewards short-term thinking. Kacy plays long. The candidate he didn't place this year becomes the hiring manager who calls him next year. The client who couldn't afford his help in 2024 calls back when they're scaling in 2026. Every conversation is an investment.
That's why if you ask people in Kacy's network how they know him, you get answers like "he helped me when I had nothing to offer back" or "he made one phone call that changed my career." That's not a marketing line — it's how he actually operates.
Through TBG, Kacy has access to one of the broadest recruiting platforms in the country — 18+ specialty divisions, executive-to-entry-level placement, contract-to-direct hire flexibility, and offices in major U.S. cities. One call. Full spectrum.
Kacy and his TBG colleagues handle searches across the full range of seniority:
Engagement types include direct hire, retained executive search, contract, contract-to-hire, and temporary placements — depending on what fits the client's strategy.
Every division has dedicated industry-specific recruiters. When Kacy can't personally lead your search, he routes you to the right specialist inside TBG — and stays involved as your relationship manager.
While Kacy is based at TBG's NYC headquarters at 1430 Broadway, his network extends across the country through TBG's offices in NY, NJ, FL, CA, CT, IL, PA, OH, VA, NV — and beyond through TBG's national reach.
For NY Metro clients, he's a 20-minute Uber away. For national clients, he runs searches that move on the same timeline as a local one.
A recruiter's real résumé is the careers they've shaped and the teams they've built. Here's the kind of work Kacy has been part of throughout his career at TBG and earlier firms.
Look closely at Kacy's wins and you'll see the same thread: honest counsel, careful matching, long-term thinking. He's not the recruiter you call when you want to fill a seat. He's the recruiter you call when you want to build a team that lasts.
When you hire Kacy, you're also tapping into the full power of The Bachrach Group — one of New York's most established recruiting firms and a national leader in talent search.
The Bachrach Group's philosophy hasn't changed in 50 years: "unmatched quality service to our clients and our candidates alike." Industry-specific recruiters with the resources of a national firm and the personal touch of a boutique agency.
That's the platform Kacy works from. The infrastructure means even the most complex search has resources behind it. The 50-year reputation means doors open that wouldn't open for a smaller firm.
Kacy operates inside a deep bench at TBG. The firm is led by Anthony Fanzo (CEO & President), with senior leadership including Scott Bachrach (CTO), Amy Costa (Chief People Officer), Evan Price (EVP Production), and Jordan Shapiro (Senior MD Financial Services). The firm's NY headquarters sits at 1430 Broadway, 13th Floor.
When you call Kacy, you're not getting a one-recruiter shop. You're getting a senior leader inside a 50-year institution who can pull in specialists, leverage existing client relationships, and tap into 200+ recruiters when a search demands it.
That's the difference between hiring a great recruiter and hiring a great recruiter with a national platform behind him.
Kacy's life outside TBG tells you as much about who he is as his recruiting career does. Three commitments matter most.
The same instinct that makes Kacy spend his Saturday on a firetruck or his Tuesday night sleeping outside for Covenant House is the same instinct that makes him take a 30-minute career coaching call with a stranger. Service isn't a side activity for Kacy — it's the operating system.
That's a quality you can't fake in business. Either you have it or you don't. The people who work with Kacy long-term recognize it within the first conversation.
Whether you're a hiring manager or a candidate, here's what working with Kacy actually looks like. Predictable, transparent, and human.
TBG works on standard executive search fee structures — contingency, retained, contract billing, or temp-to-perm conversion depending on the engagement. Candidates never pay Kacy a fee. Ever. If anyone tells you a candidate should pay a recruiter, that's not Kacy and that's not TBG. Clients always know the fee structure before the search starts. No surprises.
A recruiter is only as good as the people who'd recommend him. Here's what those people have said.
The testimonials above represent the kind of feedback Kacy has received throughout his career. If you'd like to talk to specific clients or candidates who've worked with Kacy, just ask — he can connect you to people who'd happily take a 15-minute call about their experience.
That's confidence in your work showing up as transparency.
A lot of recruiters hide behind their LinkedIn headline. Kacy lets you see the whole picture. Here's who he is when the office lights are off.
Whether you're a hiring manager with a critical role, a candidate exploring your options, a peer in the industry, or someone who just wants 30 minutes of honest career advice — Kacy is reachable. Pick what works.
One tap saves Kacy's contact info to your phone — so when you need a recruiter, or know someone who does, you don't have to search. Just open your contacts and call.
