I know plenty of people have read “A Day in the Life” articles or videos for interesting people like Steve Jobs, or at the very least have researched the daily habits of successful people. It’s often hard to relate to these posts because we can’t see ourselves in comparison to the leader’s we deem wildly successful. Which is exact why I …
It’s a well-know fact that Midwesterners are hard workers. For all of my 25 years in Executive Search we have constantly received requests for candidates from the Midwest, because they “know how to work”, especially in our Construction and Manufacturing divisions.

Truthfully, I’m just not sure what to tell them without sounding unsure or too vague. The question is a major point of stress for …
It seems like just yesterday that I walked into a Management Recruiters office and started my profession in Executive Search. I really knew nothing about the business, other than it was my job to call people with opportunities and convince them to talk to my clients. Fast forward 25 years and I do mean, fast forward. I’ve learned so much about …

You’re probably asking yourself, “What value would diversity, equity and inclusion bring to my company?” It’s a great question.

This year marks my 25th year in Executive Search. It is still mind-blowing to me the number of changes that have taken place as it relates to finding, hiring and retaining top performers.
