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.

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.
