About 50% of my retained executive search practice is made up of long term clients in Lincoln and Omaha, Nebraska. Omaha and Lincoln are usually not on everyone’s top 5 places to live but it does offer a wonderful quality of life.

In selling candidates on the Big Red State, I discuss the following positive factors:

  • Strong public school system
  • Low cost of living including housing
  • Low traffic congestion
  • Very friendly people
  • Robust business climate
  • Family oriented & kid friendly
  • Good arts and theatrical scene
  • Beautiful downtown areas including TD Ameritrade Park (home of the College World Series), CenturyLink Convention Center, The University of Nebraska,  The Old Market & Haymarket areas filled with wonderful boutiques and restaurants
Omaha and Lincoln offers a quality of life that is unique and compelling. Like most Nebraska recruiters like to say, “if we can get them here to look us over, we can recruit them!”
