Lakeside HR Group Named the 5th Fastest-Growing Company in the Twin Cities

Lakeside HR Group, an Eden Prairie–based firm specializing in recruiting and HR consulting, has been recognized by the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal as the 5th Fastest-Growing Company in the Twin Cities.

This honor comes just as Lakeside celebrated its four-year anniversary, marking a milestone that reflects both remarkable business growth and a strong commitment to people-first partnerships.

Founded in 2021 by Kristin Nordling, Lakeside HR Group has grown from a start-up idea to a trusted HR and recruiting partner for small and mid-sized businesses across Minnesota and beyond. The firm’s growth is driven by a team that lives its core values every day — being Genuine, Curious, Scrappy, and Value-Adders in every client relationship.

“This milestone is more than a number,” said Erin Hargrove, Director of Business Development & Growth Strategy at Lakeside HR Group. “It’s a reflection of the clients who have trusted us, the partners who have championed us, and the incredible team who shows up every day with purpose, curiosity, and heart.”

Lakeside HR Group helps companies strengthen their people operations through two primary business lines: Recruiting Services, offering full-cycle talent acquisition support, and HR Consulting, providing fractional, project-based, and interim HR leadership.

As the company looks ahead, Lakeside remains committed to its founding mission — to create meaningful growth for clients and communities by staying anchored in people.
