Founded in 2001 by CEO Sharon Hulce, Employment Resource Group, Inc. has evolved into one of the country’s most recognized retained search firms. The Appleton company reports a 97% placement retention rate during the first three years after hire and has earned recognition from Forbes as one of America’s Best Executive Recruiting Firms for seven consecutive years.
Growth began accelerating two years ago when ERG adopted the Entrepreneurial Operating System, which utilizes a scorecard for all important metrics and holds the team accountable for achievement. ERG also doubled down on its acquisition strategy focusing on boutique firms, including a recent acquisition in Indianapolis.
“Our plan is to continue to acquire over the next five years to build strength in markets that not only serve our current client base, but give us the opportunity to expand our team,” Hulce says.
