Steve Guenther

Steve Guenther, Talent Director, began his career in 1986. After nearly three decades in retail leadership, he transitioned into staffing and quickly found his niche in recruiting and relationship management. Before joining Lutz, he spent over four years at another search firm, building strong client partnerships and a reputation for thoughtful service. 

Focusing on search and staffing, Steve works directly with hiring managers to understand their business, culture, and personnel needs. He collaborates closely with the Lutz Talent team to ensure each role is filled with care, attention, and alignment to the client’s long-term goals. His day-to-day involves everything from building job profiles and screening candidates to facilitating interviews and guiding successful placements. 

At Lutz, Steve has a gift for seeing both the big picture and the person in front of him. He builds trust by meeting people where they are—whether it’s a business seeking clarity on their next hire or a candidate navigating a career change. His thoughtful, measured approach and ability to tune into the unique needs of each situation make him a steady presence and a valued partner to both clients and colleagues. 

Steve lives in Papillion, NE, with his wife Jeani. Outside the office, you can find him spending time with family and grandkids, golfing, hunting, and cheering on the Huskers.
