Deborah Peters
Practice Leader, ASG Legal
Deborah started at ASG Legal in 1994, soon after graduating from CWRU School of Law and passing the Ohio Bar exam. She did not necessarily think she would make a career in the Legal Search Consultant business. In fact, specializing exclusively in the temporary and direct hire placement of attorneys, paralegals, legal assistants, and other legal support professionals was a brand new concept in Northeast Ohio at that time.
More than 20 years later, Deborah truly has found her calling in this industry. Most attorneys realize that the practice of law is about serving the public through the analysis and interpretation of the law. Deborah also feels rewarded and excited about the daily opportunity to serve the legal community both by assisting candidates to identify the next steps in their career path and by helping our law firm and in-house counsel clients identify the talent best suited to their own unique culture and needs.
Kevin Kramer
Practice Leader, ASG Skilled Manufacturing
In 2001, Kevin Kramer, along with Aaron Grossman, opened Alliance Staffing Solutions, now known as Alliance Solutions Group. That small but fully functional two-person company has turned into a multi-state operation that prides itself on excellence within the recruiting industry.
Kevin feels that the basic cores of building a successful company (hard work, believing in yourself, and hiring the right people) are what has attributed to the growth of Alliance Staffing Solutions. Kevin has always felt that if you do what others are not willing to do, then you will differentiate yourself from the competition.
Kevin truly believes that there is a huge difference in how he stacks himself up compared to the competition when it comes to his recruiting philosophy. “I think of recruiting as a giant puzzle. The candidates being the puzzle pieces. An excellent recruiter will take those puzzle pieces and know where to put them. The average recruiter will take those pieces and shove them in there and hope it fits. Most times it doesn’t.”
