About Us

Who We Are

Hiring decisions impact far more than open positions. They influence culture, performance, retention, leadership effectiveness, and long-term business growth.

For more than 25 years, The Carmon Group has partnered with organizations ranging from privately held businesses and non-profits to Fortune 250 companies to solve complex talent challenges with clarity, honesty, and a highly personalized approach.

With more than 60 years of combined retained search and talent advisory experience, our leadership team helps organizations secure critical talent while strengthening hiring effectiveness, employer brand positioning, and long-term talent capability.

Unlike firms that hand projects off through layers of recruiters or support staff, clients work directly with our two senior partners from start to finish. From strategy and assessment through search execution, candidate engagement, and advisory work, every interaction benefits from experienced leadership, continuity, and accountability.

What began as a retained search firm has evolved into a broader strategic talent practice focused on two critical areas:

  • Securing high-impact talent through retained search
  • Strengthening internal hiring capability, effectiveness, and employer brand

We believe the strongest organizations are built intentionally—not transactionally. Whether helping a company secure a critical leader, improve hiring performance, reduce costly talent gaps, or helping individuals navigate meaningful career transitions, our focus remains the same: building long-term alignment and momentum.

About Us

Leadership

At The Carmon Group, clients work directly with Chris Carmon and Chris Calogeras throughout every engagement. Together, they bring more than 60 years of combined retained search and talent advisory experience spanning privately held companies, middle-market organizations, and Fortune 250 enterprises.

This intentionally hands-on model allows for a higher level of communication, insight, consistency, responsiveness, and accountability across every stage of the process.

We believe exceptional hiring requires more than process—it requires trust, insight, communication, and the ability to understand both the technical and human side of talent decisions. Our work is intentionally relationship-driven and built around long-term partnerships rather than transactional recruiting.

"In looking for people to hire, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy. And if you don't have the first, the other two will kill you."
