S.R. Clarke, Inc., was founded on the concept that a business can be guided by personal values. In fact, we are convinced that an executive search firm that operates from a position of knowledge and integrity is invaluable for any company striving to follow the path from the ordinary to the great.

That concept has led us to develop three goals of equal importance:

• First, to help people improve the quality of their lives
• Second, to help companies build viable teams
• Third, to work with our clients as equal partners

It is, furthermore, the dedicated pursuit of these goals that distinguishes S.R. Clarke from other firms.

At S.R. Clarke, we operate with the knowledge that all of our goals are inter-related. We can only help a candidate personally if we help a client build a team.

To help our candidates, we must have their trust and respect. Our initial interviews, therefore, focus exclusively on a candidate's best interests. We act as career counselors. It is to this end that we have developed a long-range training program for our own people. When contact is made, we speak our candidate's language. We understand what they do and how they do it. We never send out resumes without prior approval. Confidentiality is taken seriously at S.R. Clarke because we deal almost exclusively with candidates who are currently employed. For this reason, we often arrange client interviews in our own offices.

The single most critical facet of our relationship with our candidates, however, is our genuine interest in them as people. And this, ultimately, earns us their trust and respect.

In the end, though, building teams for our clients depends on the human factor - our deciding if a candidate has the right "chemistry" to fit into a company.
