The Carlisle Group is a specialized executive search and recruitment firm that has been connecting organizations with exceptional leadership talent since 1996. We partner with employers across multiple industries to identify, assess, and place leaders who drive lasting impact.
We specialize in food and beverage, animal health and pet food, ingredients and flavors, human health and nutrition, insurance, public transit, grocery retail, nonprofit, distribution and logistics, and industrial manufacturing. We also serve clients in adjacent and emerging industries through our Additional Industries practice.
Our office is located at 200 Technology Drive, Suite 201, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 17050. While we are based in Pennsylvania, we conduct searches nationally and have placed leaders across multiple countries.
Our industry specialization, nearly three decades of experience, and deep relationships within the sectors we serve give us access to passive talent that most firms cannot reach. We operate as strategic partners to our clients, not transactional recruiters.
You can reach us by phone at (717) 249-2626, by email at info@tcgrecruit.com, or through the contact form on our website. We are happy to discuss your talent needs and recommend the best approach for your situation.
We offer retained, engaged, and contingency search models. Each serves a different purpose depending on the role, timeline, and level of investment required. We work with you to determine the right approach based on your specific needs rather than pushing one model over another.
We place leaders across all organizational levels, from director and VP positions to C-suite executives and board members. We also support specialized and technical placements where industry expertise is critical to finding the right fit.
Our average search takes approximately four months. Depending on role complexity and market conditions, timelines can range from three to five months. We provide regular updates throughout the process so you always know where things stand.
We maintain deep, long-standing relationships within the industries we serve. Our team is in constant conversation with leaders across these sectors, which gives us access to passive talent that job boards and LinkedIn cannot reach. When we approach someone on your behalf, it is through a trusted relationship, not a cold outreach.
Depending on the engagement, our process can include behavioral profiling, emotional intelligence assessments (EQ-i 2.0), predictive performance profiling (DrakeP3), structured reference checks, and cultural alignment evaluation. These tools ensure we present candidates who are not only qualified but positioned to succeed in your specific environment.
No. There is no cost to candidates. Our fees are paid by the employers who engage us to conduct searches. If we reach out to you about an opportunity, there is no financial obligation on your part.
We identify candidates through our extensive industry networks, proprietary database, direct outreach, and long-standing relationships within the sectors we serve. Many of the professionals we place were not actively looking when we first connected with them.
If we reach out, it is because your background and experience align with a specific search we are conducting. The initial conversation is confidential and exploratory. There is no pressure or commitment. We want to understand your career goals and determine whether the opportunity is a strong mutual fit.
Confidentiality is fundamental to how we operate. We never share your information with a client without your explicit permission, and all conversations are handled with complete discretion. Your current employer will not be contacted or made aware of any discussions.
Yes. You can submit your resume through our website or by emailing us directly. We maintain a proprietary database of professionals across our specialized industries and will reach out if an opportunity arises that aligns with your experience and career objectives.
