Our Vision
Our Company’s History
Back in 1997, a young entrepreneur named Mark was working as an recruiter at a large corporation. Despite the long hours and hard work, he enjoyed his job and the challenges that came with it. However, he noticed that many of his colleagues were unhappy with their current jobs and were looking for better opportunities.
One day, while Mark was attending a job fair, he overheard several people discussing their frustrations with finding a suitable IT job. They complained about the lack of transparency, slow hiring processes, and limited job openings in the market. As he listened, Mark realized that there was a clear need for a better way to connect IT talent with businesses that needed them.
That’s when the idea of starting a niched IT recruiting firm struck him. He believed that he could build a company that would help bridge the gap between employers and job seekers by offering personalized services that catered to the unique needs of both parties.
With a clear vision and a burning passion for helping people find meaningful jobs, Mark took the leap and started his own IT recruiting firm. He named it Emerald Resource Group and set out to create a company that would provide unparalleled value to its clients.
In the early days, Emerald Resource Group faced several challenges. The competition from national franchise recruiting firms was tough, and it was difficult to stand out in the crowded market. But Mark was determined to succeed, and he poured all his energy into building a strong brand that would resonate with both employers and job seekers.
He invested heavily in building a strong team of recruiters who were passionate about IT and had an in-depth understanding and expertise of the IT industry. They worked tirelessly to understand the needs of their clients and candidates, and to match the right people with the right opportunities.
Slowly but surely, Emerald Resource Group began to gain traction. Their reputation for providing top-quality service spread quickly, and they began to attract a growing number of clients and candidates. Soon, they were known as one of the most reliable and trustworthy IT recruiting firms in the industry.

When we need to find developers to add to our team, we know that we can go to Mark and he will find us someone that is qualified. We have been using his company for years to find candidates.

Mark is an expert on recruiting. He knows the market and place me on the job I can contribute and growth. Thanks Mark
I have had the great fortune of knowing Mark since 1993, when he helped me make the first of two pivotal career moves. Since then, Mark has worked hard to keep in touch with me to understand my goals and abilities. Mark puts an extraordinary amount of thought into each opportunity before discussing it with a candidate. I have always appreciated that he doesn’t waste anyone’s time with something that’s not a win-win situation. Without hesitation, I highly recommend taking advantage of Mark’s strength in building long term relationships to bring the right people to the right opportunities.
I know that it was because of the effort of Mark Krusinski that I was able to be interviewed and hired at Sherwin-Williams. When I was first looking for a new job someone else from Emerald Resource Group found me and told me about the offer at Sherwin-Williams. But after a few phone screens, I didn’t hear anything for over a month. I had given up hope of working for Sherwin-Williams when I got a call from Mark. He apologized for the lack of communication. He was able to get me re-engaged with Sherwin-Williams and worked with Sherwin-Williams to help me get the type of job that best suited my talents and abilities. I know that without the work Mark did, that I probably would not be working at Sherwin-Williams today.
Mark was a huge help to me when it came to landing my next position. He encouraged and guided me through. He is an excellent recruiter!
Mark is one of the best recruiters I ever worked with. When I was looking for a job, Mark invested a lot time to build relationship with me and understand my skills, inspiration, strengths and goals. When I was working for a company that was looking to hire new IT professionals, Mark spent considerable amount of time trying to understand the quality of the ideal candidates my company was looking for before submitting any resumes. I never knew what made Mark so successful until I worked with him on both sides. It is always a pleasure to work with Mark and he is the first recruiter I think about when I am on the job market looking for the next opportunity.
Mark is a great person. He worked very hard to get me a job in a reasonable time frame. He is very knowledgeable of the companies in Northern Ohio and understands the job market. He placed me in a great job in a good city that suits my personality, work ethics.
