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.

Why people do love working with Emerald Resource Group…
Mark has done an outstanding job providing excellent candidates (both employee and contract) for us over the years. He goes to great lengths to understand our requirements to ensure the proper candidates are presented. Whenever we have a new staffing requirement, Mark is always our first call.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mark for several placements at DimpleDough. Every time he delivered beyond expectations, has been incredibly flexible with our requirements and is nothing short of an exemplary professional. Mark knows his field, knows people and his results speak for themselves. Highly recommended!
I have worked with Mark for over 10 years to fulfill contract and full-time positions in IT and he provides exceptional value and expertise.
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. He knows exactly what we are looking for and sends quality candidates our way. If you are in the need of solid developers, I highly recommend him.
I cannot recommend Mark highly enough. Working with him was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Mark truly went above and beyond, and functioned as if he was an internal talent recruiter for his client. He took the time to deeply understand my background, skills, and career goals, ensuring I would be a great cultural and technical fit for the role.
Mark’s attention to detail and personalized approach were remarkable. He made the entire process easy and seamless, guiding me every step of the way with clear communication and genuine care. Thanks to his efforts, I landed a fantastic opportunity and my employer was able to get the position filled. A true win-win!
I’ve worked with a number of recruiters over the years and have been disappointed in their level of attention and commitment even after promises of being different. Mark was truly different. He took the time to get to know me and understand my goals. He provided pragmatic advice to help guide my decisions. I felt as though he was on my side and not just out to gain a quick commission. Mark helped me prepare by providing information and prep materials as well as a generous amount of his time. This helped give me the confidence to be successful during the interview process and confidence that I was making the right decision to achieve my goals. I would recommend Mark without hesitation and would happily use his services should they be needed in the future.
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 by far one of the most upstanding recruiters I have ever worked with. He takes the time to get to know his clients and candidates to get the best match for both. I would recommend him to everyone looking for a job. In fact, I have! If I needed to go through another job search, Mark would be the first person I would call.
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!
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 is an expert on recruiting. He knows the market and place me on the job I can contribute and growth. Thanks Mark
