2. Alliance Resource Group’s corporate story is as
unique as the services we provide our clients. In
2003, a group of staffing executives from competing
firms came together to fill a void that existed in
the marketplace. They shared a common vision
of combining the comprehensive staffing resources offered by large
agencies, with an unmatched client experience commonly found only
with boutique search firms.
Alliance Resource Group has assembled a team of highly tenured
executive search and interim staffing experts, who build trust-based
relationships and facilitate successful transactions. We continue to
redefine the typical recruitment process through holistic and quantitative
methods and we offer professional salary guides, market data analytics
and valuable employment resources.
Today, Alliance Resource Group is a trusted advisor to thousands of clients
and financial professionals throughout Southern California. Through an
unwavering commitment to our core values and best practices, we have
earned a reputation for being a premier talent provider in the fields of
finance and accounting.
