After nearly a decade operating under Couture SEO Consulting, I’m excited to officially announce the expansion and rebranding of my company as Ryan Project Group.


While I remain actively engaged in consulting, Ryan Project Group is expanding into staffing, executive search, and project delivery services, allowing organizations to engage trusted talent and collaborative teams capable of supporting initiatives from planning through execution.


What makes us different?


Unlike traditional recruiters, we can leverage our own network of practicing engineers, architects, developers, project managers, and business leaders to assist in technical screening and candidate evaluation when needed.


Too often, highly specialized positions are filled by recruiters who have never worked in the technologies, methodologies, or business functions they’re hiring for.


When a company needs an Okta Engineer, IAM Architect, Mainframe Specialist, Product Owner, Scrum Master, Software Developer, Data Center Technician, Network Engineer, Business Analyst, Project Manager, or Construction Leader, they deserve a recruiting partner who understands the work well enough to properly evaluate candidates—not simply match keywords on a résumé.


Having worked as an IAM Engineer, Security Analyst, Product Owner, Technical Project Manager, API Engineer, Systems Migration Lead, Consultant, Hiring Manager, and Business Owner, I bring firsthand experience to the recruiting process.


Ryan Project Group provides:


• Contract Staffing
• Contract-to-Hire
• Direct Placement Recruiting
• Executive Search & Headhunting
• Technical Talent Acquisition
• Project-Based Staffing
• Team Build-Outs & Workforce Scaling


We support organizations across:

• Software Development
• Data Centers & Infrastructure

• Administrative & Operations Support
• Construction & Field Services


As a lifelong Iowan with relationships spanning the Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Des Moines, and surrounding markets, I’ve built a network of professionals across technology, construction, healthcare, manufacturing, financial services, and operations.


Our approach is simple:


• Understand the work
• Vet talent accurately
• Reduce hiring risk
• Scale teams efficiently
• Provide access to proven professionals
• Build long-term partnerships
• Deliver results


Whether you need a single specialist, an entire project team, or executive-level talent, Ryan Project Group is built to provide expertise—not just resumes.
