Founded: 1985

Industry: Recruiting & Staffing

Integrity, honesty and ethics are words that Larry Weinberg believes in.

“The greatest lesson I lead by is that you have to hire the right people, give them the right tools and training and then get out of their way”, said Weinberg, president, Accounting Career Consultants/HR Career Consultants. He added, “And always treat people right.”

Weinberg said he learned these lessons from working with his father from whom he purchased the company from in 2012. Since then, he has built on the strong foundation that his father laid by growing the firm 300% in the first 9 years. He has developed many of the top producing recruiting and staffing professionals in St. Louis and created a career path to help keep them engaged with retention rates well above the industry norm. Weinberg explained that formalizing and fine-tuning the internal recruiting process over a number of years has increased the percentage of high performing hires.

“Although we are a relatively small company without an internal training department, we are not afraid to spend money on external training and tools to help our account managers and recruiters maximize their production and therefore their earnings,” Weinberg said. “We have a very autonomous management culture. This does not mean unstructured. We do have ways of keeping people on track, coaching them and holding them accountable to the activities that will make them successful, but we also give them a lot of flexibility and do not micro-manage them.”

He added that many members of his team have grown their responsibilities and earned 500% or more of what they earned before coming to the firm.

He has grown the company from approximately $1.5 million in revenue when he bought the firm in 2012 to over $6 million in revenue in 2021. His hard work and leadership has been recognized by awards including: 2021 St. Louis Business Journal Largest Direct Hire & Largest Contingency Executive Search Firms; Ranked #2 on both 2019 and 2021 Forbes America’s Best Professional Search Firms List; 2016- 2017 St. Louis Business Journal Fastest-Growing Private Companies; 2005-2013 & 2017 St. Louis Business Journal Largest Temporary Staffing Firms; 2015-2017 & 2019 Future 50 Award winner by the St. Louis Small Business Monthly (Celebrating The Area’s Top Growing Businesses).

The company continues to work with many of the top companies in St. Louis today, including: Ameren, Centene, Emerson, McCarthy Construction, Olin Corporation, Reinsurance Group of America, Schnucks and Spire. Well-respected within the industry, Weinberg has made good friends with many other recruiting and staffing firm owners who rely on him as a sounding board.

“I plan on staying involved in our industry to continue to lead, serve, and meet many more goals,” he said. “Our vision is to work toward becoming the No. 1 recruiting and staffing firm of choice in St. Louis.”

Weinberg is counting on his team to help get them there.

“I am most proud of all of my team who I have developed,” he said. “I enjoy seeing them reach personal goals and income levels that they never thought possible when they first joined the firm.” He added, “Each of their personal successes are the building blocks of the company’s success.”
