Search and Staffing
We believe that great leaders create great cultures and great organizations. We are driven to help organizations be great places to work. For over 50 years, our search and staffing professionals have been working with executives who believe, that in order to achieve their cultural goals, they have to pro-actively recruit the best, brightest, diverse talent.
Headquartered in Indianapolis, our Search and Staffing Practice is the oldest and most experienced search firm in Indiana. We have successfully completed over 100,000 searches for executives, mid-managers and professional level talent across the US.

Recruiting Diverse Talent
The Problem – “We Can’t Find Great Women or Minority Candidates”: Prior to using the search and staffing services of CLE, the rationale we often heard from our clients was, “We just did not have a large enough pool of female and diverse leaders to consider for this position, so we hired the best person for that role; It just happened to be a white man.”
The Solution – Put Yourself In A Position To Be Able To Say: “I hired the best talent available from a diverse pool of candidates.” At CLE, we track tens of thousands of candidates in our data base, including women and minorities who are not actively on the job market, but are interested in hearing about an opportunity that is a career enhancement. We specialize in building diverse pools of talent for our clients.
