Why We Founded CornerOffice:

Redefining Recruitment with Purpose and Heart

When Jeff and I founded CornerOffice in 2014, it wasn’t just to start a business. It was to build something that truly mattered. After spending decades in recruitment, Jeff as a professional football coach and scout, and me as an executive search consultant. We saw firsthand how recruitment could transform careers, organizations, and lives. But we also saw where it often fell short.

Too often, recruitment felt transactional: resumes in, hires out. But changing jobs is one of the biggest decisions a person can make, and for organizations, the stakes are just as high. We believed there was a better way, a way built on integrity, trust, and a relentless focus on alignment.

And that’s where CornerOffice was born.

From Two Paths to One Vision

Jeff and I came from different worlds. Jeff spent years building winning teams on the football field, evaluating and recruiting talent, while ensuring players aligned with the team’s culture. Meanwhile, my career in executive search was all about helping companies identify leaders who could inspire growth and success.

While our paths were different, we shared one belief: finding the right fit is everything. It’s not just about skills or experience—it’s about alignment. The right hire isn’t just a great addition to your team; they’re the person who makes everyone around them better.

When we combined our expertise, we knew we could do something unique. CornerOffice wasn’t just going to fill positions—we were going to build relationships, create alignment, and set a new standard for recruitment.

The CornerOffice Difference

From the start, we committed to doing things differently. Recruitment isn’t about transactions—it’s about transformation. That belief drives everything we do, from immersing ourselves in our clients’ cultures to ensuring every candidate feels supported in making life-changing decisions.

This approach has earned us the trust of industry leaders like Chick-fil-A, The Home Depot, Constellation, and Sonepar, and it’s why we’ve achieved a 91%+ retention rate within the first two years of employment for our placements. Here’s what may interest you:

• Obsessive Alignment: CornerOffice doesn’t just look for qualified candidates; we find the right candidates—the ones who align with your values, culture, and mission. It’s why our retention rates lead the recruitment industry.

• Deep Immersion: We take the time to understand your organization, from the inside out. As one client shared, “CornerOffice set themselves apart from every other talent sourcing company. They immersed themselves in our culture, which led to a very successful relationship.” Kim Glenn, Chick-fil-A, Talent Acquisition Leader

• Caring for Candidates: We know changing jobs is a big deal. That’s why CornerOffice supports candidates every step of the way, ensuring they make decisions that feel right for them. One candidate put it best: “Their commitment to the ‘right fit’ gave me more insight than I’ve ever had before making a decision.” Erik Cohen, Sales Leader

Why We Started CornerOffice

We started CornerOffice because we saw recruitment as more than a job—it’s a calling. Every placement is a chance to change someone’s life for the better, to help organizations grow stronger, and to create connections that last.

As a husband-and-wife team, we know the power of alignment firsthand. Our partnership has taught us the importance of trust, shared values, and working together toward a common goal. These principles are at the heart of CornerOffice and guide every decision we make.

Looking back on our journey, we’re proud of what we’ve built. But what drives us isn’t the past—it’s the future. We’re excited to keep partnering with organizations that care as much about people as we do, helping them find the talent that will shape their success.
