About Our Firm

“My partnerships with them go back 15 years.
To really appreciate this company, you must understand its origin
as with any good company.”

Todd Groman, Chief Operating Officer – Fairway Lumber
The Past, Present, and Future of SnapDragon Associates

SnapDragon Associates was started in 2004 by Mark Barnard, a Building Materials Veteran with a simple mission of delivering the results our clients (Building Product Manufacturers, Distributors, Retailers, and Private Equity Groups) could not find on their own or from other recruiting firms. With a focus of delivering white-glove service to a select group of top companies, SnapDragon quickly grew to the industry’s premier source to find talent. While other companies called themselves search firms, we focused on developing the reputation of being more of a find firm.

SnapDragon’s growth has been nothing short of remarkable but the true heroes in this story are the people who call SnapDragon home. Led by Mark’s daughter, Cassie Fosher and her husband Kalvin Fosher, SnapDragon has grown exponentially over the last 20+ years through the hard work and dedicated recruiters who follow a stringent recruiting methodology that produces results that few firms can reach. In the recruiting world, Cassie is in the top 0.5% of billers in the US and is highly sought after to speak and serve on boards and committees. Cassie leads our staff training, sharing her secrets with our team of professional executive recruiters.

Working with only the “best of the best” companies has been, and continues to be our focus with the mindset that top talent wants to work with top companies. While others talk about results, we produce them every day. We look forward to learning about your hiring needs and how SnapDragon can assist in growing your business.
