Emerson Recruiting Group is proud to announce that we have once again been recognized as one of the Philadelphia Business Journal’s Best Places to Work, marking the ninth time we have received this honor.
The award is based entirely on employee feedback collected through confidential surveys conducted by Quantum Workplace. To earn recognition, companies must meet a rigorous statistical benchmark that reflects exceptional levels of employee engagement, trust, and workplace satisfaction. This year winners will be celebrated at the official awards ceremony on July 23, 2026.
This recognition reflects Emerson Recruiting Group’s long standing commitment to building a workplace culture rooted in positivity, loyalty, genuineness and doing the right thing, the Core Values that guide every aspect of our business.
Building a Culture People Want to Be Part Of
For more than 55 years, Emerson Recruiting Group has focused on more than recruiting and staffing, we’ve focused on helping people become more successful. That commitment extends to our clients, candidates, and the internal team that drives our mission forward every day.
Our people-first culture is built on trust, collaboration, accountability, and shared purpose. We continue to invest in:
- Employee engagement through team-building events, offsite experiences, ongoing professional development, and giving back through community involvement and service initiatives.
- Transparency and alignment through EOS®, company-wide goal setting, and behavioral insights tools like the Predictive Index.
- A mission-driven approach to business, partnering with organizations that value culture, communication, and people.
“Being recognized as a Best Place to Work for the ninth time is incredibly meaningful because it comes directly from our employees,” said President Bill Emerson. “Culture isn’t something you hang on a wall, it’s something you live every day. I’m proud of the environment we’ve built together, where people feel supported, valued, challenged, and inspired to succeed. And frankly, we have a lot of fun, while working hard” “
Why This Recognition Matters
Being named a Best Place to Work is about far more than workplace perks, it reflects a company’s leadership, culture, communication, and purpose.
When employees feel empowered and connected to a meaningful mission, it creates a stronger experience for everyone, including the clients and candidates we serve. At Emerson Recruiting Group, we believe that great cultures attract great people, and great people drive exceptional results.
“This recognition is a reflection of the incredible people on our team,” Emerson added. “Their positivity, resilience, and commitment to doing the right thing continue to shape who we are and where we’re going. I’m grateful for every person who contributes to making Emerson such a special place to work.”
Third Generation
We’ve welcomed another third-generation family member, Matt Emerson, Director of Business Development, continuing the company’s legacy.
“What makes Emerson special is that our culture is real, people genuinely care about each other, our clients, and the candidates we serve,” said Matt Emerson, Director of Business Development. “As a third-generation family member joining the company last year, I’m proud to be part of a team that leads with authenticity, relationships, and purpose every day. Watching my grandparents, Skip and Annette Emerson, build this business from the ground up, and seeing the dedication of my parents, Steve and Mary Emerson, along with my uncle Bill Emerson’s leadership as President, has given me a deep appreciation for the values and commitment that have shaped Emerson Recruiting Group for more than 55 years. I’m excited to help carry that legacy forward.”
Recruiting to Culture Since 1971
Emerson Recruiting Group has been “Recruiting to Culture” since 1971, when Skip and Annette Emerson founded the company with a vision centered around relationships, integrity, and people-first recruiting. Emerson Recruiting Group provides direct hire, temporary, temp-to-hire, and recruitment consulting services across a wide range of industries and professional disciplines. Our mission remains the same today as it was more than five decades ago: helping organizations and individuals become more successful through meaningful connections.
