Why Was 4 Corner Resources Started?
Pete Newsome started his career in technical recruiting right after graduating from Florida State University, then spent a decade in leadership roles at two Fortune 500 companies. In 2005, he left to build the kind of staffing firm he wanted to work with: one that operates with flexibility, speed, and a personal approach, putting people ahead of process.
4 Corner Resources started as a one-person operation in Orlando. More than 20 years and 16,750 placements later, it’s a nationally recognized staffing and recruiting firm, and Pete still leads it as President.
Our 4 Core Principles
Four ideas govern every engagement we take on. They’ve been the same since 2005. The 4 Rs: Relationships, Resources, Responsiveness, and Results.
Relationships
Every search starts with the conversations most firms skip. We want to understand the team the role is joining, what the last hire got right or wrong, and what “good” looks like at the six-month mark. The technical requirements come last, because they’re the easiest part to get right.
We invest equal time on the candidate side, because a match only works when both sides actually want it. 93% of our clients come back, and many of those relationships have outlasted the hiring managers who started them.
Resources
Two decades of recruiting in the same markets builds a candidate network you can’t subscribe to. We maintain active relationships with senior talent across IT, finance, healthcare, marketing, and other verticals, including thousands of professionals we’ve placed and thousands more who’ve stayed in touch through multiple career moves.
We use AI sourcing tools where they help. The work that matters most, judging fit and reading between the lines on a resume, sits with senior recruiters who’ve spent years developing a feel for it.
Responsiveness
When you call during business hours, you reach a person, not a voicemail.
Candidate updates come on a consistent cadence, so you’re never guessing where a search stands. If a search isn’t producing the right talent on schedule, we tell you why and what we’re changing before you have to ask.
Results
The numbers are the byproduct of doing the first three R’s correctly. We fill 86% of the job orders we accept, our clients interview 1.4 candidates for every hire, and 93% of our clients come back.
We’re also a 9-time ClearlyRated Best of Staffing winner, an award based entirely on independent ratings from clients and placed candidates.
What Does 4 Corner Resources Do?
We start every search by learning what you need, recommend the staffing model that fits, and send only candidates we’d hire ourselves. For pricing, see what each service costs.
