Burling Group, Ltd. A history of our name

our founder, Ron Deitch, and how we operate as a firm.
Our
Name
What’s
in a name? Our Choice of The Burling Group as a corporate moniker dates
back to the very foundation of Chicago and the Midwest.
Shortly
after the Great Chicago Fire of l87l, Edward Burling, an associate with the
architectural and design firm of Adler and Sullivan, began designing homes
for the "new" Chicago.
Equipped
with a strong vision, and using the best materials to withstand the
elements of weather and time, Burling began building throughout the near
south, west, and north sides of the city. Many of his projects are still
standing today: A testament to his quality design and workmanship. To
recognize his legacy, The National Register of Historic Places has assigned
landmark status to the majority of Burling’s edifices.
Like
the man whose name we bear, The Burling Group is committed to making a
contribution, in the areas of placement and recruiting. Relying on a strong
foundation of experience, honing our skills from the best sources in the
Placement Industry, and dedicating ourselves to quality and service, our
goal is to build successful relationships with our clients. Relationships
that we hope, like Mr. Burling’s works, will stand the test of time.
Burling.
A name built on experience, quality, and a commitment to be the best.
Our Founder, Ronald Deitch
In
1988, after leading, directing and motivating a well-known and highly
regarded professional placement service, Ronald Deitch formed The Burling
Group, Ltd. The incumbent began his career placing managers for well known
Chicago based corporations. These clients required graduates of top schools
with strong leadership profiles. Most of these individuals were MBA’s
coupled with a marked entrepreneurial flair.
What
has transpired since that point in time is a maturation of both the
candidate and the consultant. Today the entry level candidates of the
1980’s are Directors, Vice Presidents and CEO’s. Many of the candidates are
now clients continuing a 20+ year history of service and repeat business.
Concurrently, the level of search has also evolved to our current profile
of placing upper level Directors, Vice-Presidents, COO’s, CEO’S, Partners,
etc.. Salary levels range from $90,000 to $750,000 base incomes.
This
extensive time in search has produced an in depth capability and a unique
skill in evaluation and assessment of skill, ambition, and personality. The
value of this expertise is to further assure the best match for your search
requirements. This philosophy is of special value to firms that do not hire
executives on an ongoing basis. Our entire approach is geared to assisting
you with a process and decisions you do not often make. We will make this
an enjoyable and productive activity.
The
size of The Burling Group is intentionally small to assure the intimacy of
service required. Mr. Deitch personally oversees all of the search
activity. This philosophy permits the firm to undertake only those
engagements it is committed to fulfill. Our completion rate is 100%.
(Compared with the completion rate of 61% in national firms.)
If you
demand a successful result, then make certain the right things are done at
the inception. Ron Deitch will provide the guidance to a noteworthy
conclusion.
