Culture
Executive Recruiting: A Billion-Dollar Industry Companies understand the crucial investment they need to make in order to build a skilled and dedicated staff. Finding the best employees takes time and know-how, so they turn to recruiters -- professionals with the expertise and capability to help them locate and hire the professionals they really need. For close to 100 years, recruiters have provided a valuable and necessary service to businesses around the world and today the staffing and search business is a multi-billion dollar industry. As a major business segment, recruiting offers individuals a satisfying career -- assisting both client companies and individuals with their hiring and career objectives. While a successful recruiter's earnings can be significant, there is also great pleasure to be found in searching for an outstanding professional, and placing him or her in an exciting position. An accomplished recruiter is a special person, someone who possesses business sense and a keen understanding of what makes people tick. Recruiters consistently speak with a wide range of decision-makers and professionals. Each day brings new and various challenges: discovering the exact recruitment needs of client companies, finding and then recruiting the professional men and women to fill those jobs. Why FPC? FPC, a leader in the recruitment industry since 1959, has referred thousands of talented people to companies nationwide. With more than 80 offices, FPC is one of the largest executive search firms in the United States.

Vision
A Brief History of FPC

We are a leading national executive search firm comprised of over eighty independently owned and operated offices serving more than forty industries and forty disciplines. The firm has planned its growth to become large enough to provide nationwide impact yet remain small enough to be personal, flexible and responsive to all of its constituent groups.
The key to FPC's vitality has always been the personal relationships built by the individual owners of FPC offices and their vast network of recruiters, giving client companies access to top talent and offering candidates new career opportunities throughout the US.

FPC is an entrepreneurial, rather than highly corporate, enterprise. Each office has the flexibility to develop individual models for success within the network structure. FPC owners select the industries and disciplines in which they focus, and receive support in addressing business and operational issues. This level of professional support, combined with individual ownership, creates the best of both worlds for FPC clients and candidates. FPC offices are operated by industry specialists with their particular expertise and contacts, and backed by systems, infrastructure and training.

FPC Chief Executive Officer Rudy Schott founded the company in New York City in 1959. Mr. Schott is recognized as a pioneer in the executive recruiting industry and helped develop many innovations that have become industry standards -- including industry and discipline specialization. The high standards and code of ethics he established continue to guide the company’s commitment to integrity, trust and dependability.

In its first years of operation under Schott’s direction, the firm quickly grew to become one of the largest in the New York area. Schott built his business model for replication in order to meet a growing need for well-trained and customer-focused recruiters nationwide. In 1970, FPC began to franchise with a commitment to well-planned growth. Currently there are over eighty independently-owned operations.

Since joining FPC in January 1995, Ron Herzog, executive vice president, has served as manager of operations and training in 1997 and then director in 1999, before being promoted to his current position of executive vice president. Ron has developed an extensive knowledge of the recruitment industry as well as the intricacies of the FPC system. In addition to providing his vision for the company, he oversees the day-to-day operations for the FPC system nationwide and has developed a comprehensive training program that is a template for success. He works personally with each office, in collaboration with FPC's New York-based training team, to maximize system productivity.
