A critical need surfaces on a Monday. The question isn't who to call. It's whether the partner on the other end already understands what the role has to accomplish.

That distinction shapes everything that follows: how quickly the right talent is found, how well it fits, and whether the next need is anticipated or reacted to.

Advanced Resources experts examine five signs of a strategic talent partnership, and why the difference matters most when the stakes are highest.

This week, members of the Advanced Resources team attended the 2026 Chicago Public Library Foundation Awards Dinner, celebrating 40 years of support for one of our city’s most important institutions.

The Chicago Public Library makes lifelong learning possible for everyone. It’s a mission we love, and one we’ve been proud to support for 17 years because of the impact it has on the #1 city in the world.

Congratulations to this year’s honorees, Helen Zell, Gabriel Bump, and Mo Willems, and thank you to CPLF for a wonderful evening.

Thank you to Dina Fiorelli, Mike Tsioutsiopoulos, Stephanie Garwood, Betsy Linhart, Rich Diaz, Mindy Diaz, Lior Shragg, and Morgan Berroth for representing AR.

Two years ago, Lior Shragg joined Advanced Resources as our Manager of Human Resources, Search. In that time, he's built the kind of relationships that keep clients and candidates coming back, and earned a reputation as the go-to guy for a good laugh.

"Advanced Resources has built a culture that breeds success while making a real impact in our community. I'm grateful to be a small part of that."
— Lior Shragg, Manager of Human Resources, Search

That's Lior in a sentence: grounded, community-minded, and the kind of person who makes the room better just by being in it.

Congratulations, Lior. Here's to many more.

One leader ran three sales compensation plans at once. Same payout percentage on all three. Three different behaviors rewarded: account expansion, new business, and cross-sell. Within months, every team became exceptionally good at exactly the thing it was paid to do.

Advanced Resources experts examine what that internal test reveals about 2027 comp plan design, including the line between a plan that rewards tenure and one that rewards wins, and why the first quietly turns a sales team into an annuity instead of a growth engine.

Before locking in a 2027 plan, one question is worth asking: does a rep make meaningfully more for landing new business than for coasting on the book? If not, the plan isn't budgeting for growth. It's budgeting for stagnation.

Hispanic Heritage Month is a chance to recognize the people and perspectives that make Advanced Resources stronger.

We're proud to be a Hispanic-owned business, led by our CEO Rich Diaz. That pride extends across our team, including our Director of Human Resources for Solutions, Sam Bahena and the many talented consultants delivering work for our clients.

Representation matters, not just this month, but in the work we do year-round.

Last week, we asked a room full of change leaders a simple question: how ready is your organization for AI?

Thank you ACMP Midwest Chapter for teaming up with us to host Thursday's interactive lunch workshop. Attendees took a live AI readiness assessment, compared results in real time, and dug into the "why" behind their scores at small table breakouts.

Special thanks to Kristin Papesh, EVP & Chief Human Resources Officer at Fortune Brands Innovations, for her insights shared during our fireside chat, and to Rich Diaz, Mike Tsioutsiopoulos, and Dina Fiorelli for leading the day.

Grateful to everyone who contributed to the conversation.

For more than 30 years, Advanced Resources has built its reputation on a simple belief: great outcomes start with great relationships.

Clear communication, transparency, and genuine care are not extras in our process. They are the process.

We're grateful for this kind feedback and proud of the team behind it.

Two years ago, Hannah Klopper stepped in as Advanced Resources' Controller. Since then, she's kept our finances sharp and our team even sharper.

"Two years in, and what's stuck with me most is the people. Good challenges to work through and good people to work through them with, it's a good combination to land in."
— Hannah Klopper, Controller

Behind every good number is a good team, and Hannah is proof of that. Two years in, and we couldn't be more grateful to have her.

Congratulations, Hannah! Here's to many more.

Behind every CyberNavigator helping a patron apply for a job online, and every Teacher in the Library helping a student build confidence in their schoolwork, there's a team making sure that work runs smoothly.

That team is Advanced Resources. As the Chicago Public Library Foundation's partner for these programs, we manage the full lifecycle behind the scenes: recruiting and onboarding specialists, building training and orientation materials, and coordinating placements across dozens of CPL branches citywide.

Leading that work for AR is Morgan Berroth, who manages our relationship with CPLF and works closely with library leadership to keep these programs running at scale, across one of the largest library systems in the country.

It's this kind of hands on expertise that lets CPL's programs reach further and serve more people well. As CPLF's Gala approaches this October, we're proud to be the partner making that possible. It's Personal.

A C-suite departure at a public company starts a governance clock, not just a hiring process.

→ 4 business days to disclose it to the SEC.
→ 90 to 180 days, often four months or more, to fill the seat through a retained executive search.
→ $1.8 billion in shareholder value lost, on average, when the transition wasn't planned for.

That's the gap between disclosure and resolution. Most retained search firms treat that gap as someone else's problem until the search closes. We treat it as the work: interim leadership connected to the Finance, HR, and transformation efforts already underway, so critical functions don't run thin while the right permanent hire is found.

Senior interim leadership and retained executive search for public companies is what we specialize in, not a side offering. Our latest post breaks down what public companies consistently get wrong about C-suite transitions, and what a connected, expert-led search actually looks like:
