About

Ambition
and Attitude

Imagine a search firm that truly understands the impact, good or bad, a new hire can have on your company.

In today’s business climate, innovation, disruption, and transformation are gaining pace. Having the right talent is no longer an option, but a requirement to stay relevant.

But it’s more than hiring talented people. How people integrate into a company, how they deal with opportunities or challenges, and the way they tackle short- and long-term strategies are all critical to success.

This is where ERG makes a difference.

We listen. We build relationships. We deliver talent. At ERG we approach search from its foundation — in order for companies to grow they need great people. Great people need great cultures. Our job is to match the two, helping both the person and the company to understand collaborative success.

At ERG, our core business is helping you take care of your business:
Building great teams and creating strategies to keep them.

Building an amazing, culturally aligned team for your company is our number one goal.

Lofty words perhaps, but we are relentless in our search for the right fit.

We don’t start looking for the right person until we understand our clients’ business, culture, and how the new hire will make an immediate impact.

Only then can we handpick candidates that will bring you your desired strategic outcomes and at the same time, fit seamlessly into your team.

Our sister brand, Pinnacle Talent, is 100% concerned with strategy and retention. That means we help businesses plan for the long term.

You might have great people now, but do you have a talent plan based on growth? Are there skill gaps or cultural misalignment that need addressing?

We partner with our clients on everything from integrating a long range talent plan into your overall business strategy to analyzing areas in need of cultural enrichment.

Want to create a culture where employees are engaged, challenged, and invigorated?

Talent Strategies
Every good business plan should also include a talent plan — and this is where we help. Our expertise is in analyzing your strategic goals and conducting a stakeholder review to ensure you have the right players to win. We’ll help you to see if you have gaps, help you keep and engage your top players, and identify where you may need to recruit from outside.

Innovation Summits
We can help you engage high performers in strategy and high potential employees in critical thinking skills.

Employee Empowerment
Employees want to be a part of planning their careers. They want to feel motivated, empowered, and significant. ERG will help you create a culture where employees feel a shared ownership for their results. We will work with your senior leaders to develop career paths for individual employees, identify core competencies needed for promotion, and run effective performance reviews, so expectations are transparent.

Succession Planning
Over time in one’s career, institutional knowledge is critical for a company to exist. But as retirement looms, how does this knowledge get transferred? Retirement is looking out a window, not into a mirror. We will help you identify critical tasks the retiring teammate brings to the organization in order to build a plan that supports you and creates opportunity for others.

With twenty-five years of industry expertise, ERG’s network is strong and a key differentiator in the markets we serve:

Banking and Financial Services
Construction
Functional Leadership (across Marketing, Sales, Human Resources, Information Technology, Operations, Finance, and Procurement)
Manufacturing
Non-Profits

Is your industry missing? Don’t be shy. If we can’t help we’ll know someone who can.

What our clients say

This is NOT your typical recruiting firm. They take the time to understand their candidates for the ultimate placement in the workforce. To be honest, I was set back by the amount of time they invested in myself and my career! The entire staff at ERG is driven by the same passion and goals, resulting in a top-notch profession and proven results.

Nathan Nick
Chief Operating Officer of ATCAM, LLC
From the first meeting, I liked Sharon. Not only did ERG deliver, but the talent I saw was some of the best I have seen in my career in high level positions for a private equity portfolio company.

Kevin Stevick
President / CEO of Pioneer Metal Finishing
Working with ERG and Sharon has helped Community First grow and prosper immensely. We have had a long partnership, and some of the very best hires that we have made at the credit union have been working with Sharon and her team.

Catherine Tierney
President & CEO of Community First Credit Union
Let’s be honest - anyone with Sharon’s and ERG’s knowledge, it’s just a real testament of people saying ‘That’s the go-to company’. When I sat back and thought about it, I knew that was the one I wanted on my team because you want the bullfighter and that’s what she is - she’s fantastic.
