About us
About Us
We are relentless in our pursuit of excellence.
We are based
in Appleton, WI

For the last two decades, we’ve grown our business from the ground up — by helping other businesses do exactly the same. And the key to all of this? Having the right people in place.
It takes time. ‘Great’ doesn’t happen overnight. But that’s what drives us: the pursuit of excellence. That applies to us, our clients, and our candidates.
What helps us, is having a clear line of sight into our clients’ goals. That’s why we form lasting partnerships. We’ve had the pleasure of watching many small organizations become large corporations — all through finding and engaging the right people.
We don’t like to think of ourselves as ‘process people’, but we do have our own formula for success — one that’s been perfected and refined over time.
So far so good. We fill our searches timely and our placement retention rate is 97% on all hires after two years with our client organizations.
- Every search is customized — because no two companies or candidates are the same.
- We focus on client values — understanding yours makes all the difference in our search success and who culturally will align.
- Behavioral interviews are at the heart of our process — each is designed specifically for the individual client.
- Candidates are provided with customized Position Profile pages that act as a "sizzle sheet" on your company's history, culture and the role.
- Every shortlist is reviewed by our CEO, Sharon Hulce — and she only signs off when she’s convinced every candidate we refer could in fact be your next great hire.
- We’re not perfect, but we’re 100% committed — we won’t stop until we achieve our client’s objectives. Yes, we absolutely guarantee our work.

Giving back to our community

To date ERG has given over $6 Million in donated search fees back to our community!
Like our clients, at ERG we give back to the communities we serve.
That’s why we work with local non-profits pro bono. We find the talent they are looking to hire so in turn they can pay it forward and help those in need.
