Company History
What is now AllSearch Recruiting was founded as APEX Professional Staffing, Inc. in Baltimore, Maryland, by Jason Connors, Mike Bender and Brian Connors. No clients, no candidates, no funding, but many hopes and dreams. Too many? Maybe, but read on…
After a few early years of living the start-up life, and grinding, grinding, grinding…the business just took off. Beyond the company headquarters in Baltimore, Maryland… they opened 3 branch offices across the country in Boston, Massachusetts; Denver, Colorado; and York/Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
The company made the decision to change its name to AllSearch to better portray who we are and what we do: search for all manner of elite, talented business professionals in the areas of Sales & Management, Technology, Insurance, Accounting & Finance, Marketing, and HR.
AllSearch was very proud to be honored by the Baltimore Business Journal’s during their annual Best Places to Work awards, landing the #1 spot in the Small Business category, as well as to the prestigious Inc. 5000 list of Fastest Growing Companies in the United States. It was quite a year.
AllSearch was nominated again, this time voted as the #1 overall “Best Company to Work for in Baltimore” by the Baltimore Business Journal.
AllSearch was ranked as one of the Top 10 Professional Search Firms based in Baltimore by the Baltimore Business Journal.
AllSearch made the decision to centralize their core professional recruiting team and relocate their corporate headquarters to York, Pennsylvania.
AllSearch pivoted from a more widely diversified professional recruiting agency to one that instead focused more specifically within the areas of Industrial Sales & Management, supporting clients within Manufacturing, Machinery, Distribution, Construction and the like. During this stretch, the firm passed the threshold of placing candidates in 46 states and 6 countries.
AllSearch made the decision to launch an aggressive growth effort to more effectively serve an ever-widening base of clients all across the United States. During the first year of that growth effort, the firm doubled in size and outgrew its York, Pennsylvania headquarters. In 2016 the company hit our 14th anniversary and was proud to celebrate the milestones of our 2,500th placement and 500th client served.
AllSearch continued to grow and expand, bolstering the firm’s national Sales Recruiting Team with the addition of strong talented Sales Recruiting professionals to focus on a variety of specialties such as Manufacturing, Building Products and Industrial sectors. AllSearch also expanded their Insurance Recruiting Practice, bringing in a long time Insurance Industry veteran as the division manager to increase insurance industry expertise and recruiting reach. The firm also launched their internal Business Development Associate Program, designed to hire and develop young talent into successful recruiting professionals. The first round of talent was hired into this program, and the future was extremely bright for those associates. Additions were also made to the internal recruiting and sourcing support team, with a focus on maximizing current day technology & sourcing techniques, in order to find the best possible talent for our employer client base.
The firm tripled in size since the fall of 2015 and once again pushed the occupancy limits of their York headquarters, and would likely have to move to yet another expanded office by year’s end. New team members who joined the firm just a year ago were already seeing promotions into leadership roles, and that trend would continue. AllSearch’s goal remained to become the finest, most prestigious professional search firm in the United States.
AllSearch continued to expand and strengthen both of its primary professional recruiting divisions. In 2018 we were honored as one of the region’s Fastest Growing Companies by the Central Penn Business Journal. Both the Sales & Management practice and the Insurance practice had become the go-to search firm for a great many fast-growing companies across the United States. To continue our quest to become the #1 Professional Search firm in the nation, AllSearch continued to invest heavily in systems and talented professionals to insure that we could dig deeper and build stronger relationships in order to give our clients access to the winning talent they need to grow their companies.
In 2019, AllSearch experienced record growth, expanding their internal team to over 20 committed recruiting professionals, and relocating their corporate offices to a beautiful building in Downtown York, PA. In order to best serve the growing client base, AllSearch expanded their Sales & Management service line to include several specific sales industry niches including HVAC/Mechanical Services, Building Products and Industrial Distribution. The firm also introduced an Engineering Division that focuses on Mechanical and Electrical Engineering staffing needs.
During this year, AllSearch was once again named as one of the Fastest Growing Companies by the Central Penn Business Journal, in fact, moving up to the #1 spot! #1 Fastest Growing Private Company in York & Adams County - quite an honor. AllSearch was also extremely honored to be named a Business of the Year in the CPBJ’s Game Changers program.
2020 brought the AllSearch team up to a total of 22 talented & experienced Recruiters, spanning 6 uniquely focused Recruiting Teams, each hyperfocused on either HVAC, Construction, Building Products, Industrial Automation, Sales & Management, Engineering or Insurance.
