Founded in 1977, Crane Hobson was originally a contingency based
recruiting firm specializing in the Accounting / Financial Services
professions.
1988: We developed a division offering our services to the
P.O.P. Industry on a retained search basis. Our first search assignment
was for a major display company seeking a VP of Sales and Marketing.
Using the same methods that brought us great success over our first
eleven years in the business, we quickly gained the reputation within
the P.O.P. Industry as a professional firm with the passion, desire and
ability to perform our service in an efficient manner and within tight
time frames.
1991: We spun off the Accounting Search division and have since devoted
our practice to the P.O.P., Fixturing, and Trade Show Industries. We
have developed an extensive International and Domestic database to
leverage with the initial segment of most searches and have established
a strong business relationship with most of the industry talent
resources based on mutual respect, industry knowledge and a an
excellent reputation.
Throughout the years we have developed business relationships with many
of the major firms, as well as the emerging companies desiring to grow
in this highly competitive market place.
2000 – Crane Hobson expands into the Chicago market place.
In order to accommodate business growth in the mid west, we opened our
second office in Chicago to better service our Chicago and Milwaukee
based client. Our Chicago office is well equipped to satisfy the
requirements of our ever expanding west coast client base.
Our growing staff of twelve recruiting professionals average 15 years in the recruiting industry.
Enduring values
Today our national network of search professionals and leadership
consultants maintains the enduring values with which Crane Hobson was
established—quality, client service, teamwork, integrity and the drive
for excellence. They have led us to success, earning us the
respect of both our peers and the leaders of industries we serve.
These values will continue to be at the core of everything we do to
help our clients build the best leadership teams in the industry.
