The Ashlar

The Ashlar Group is a certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) established in 2010, specializing in diverse recruiting with a commitment to continual improvement. Based in California with nationwide coverage, they operate as a staffing and recruitment firm designed for fast-paced delivery in high demand, low supply talent pools. Their model emphasizes diversity in both their supply base and candidate submissions, helping clients achieve competitive advantages in today's multicultural economy.

The Ashlar Group operates with a unique inverted delivery model that places their most seasoned professionals in sourcing roles, responding to dramatic industry changes and the wide availability of candidates through technology and social media. They excel in large contingent labor programs, investing resources in high-quality sourcing while operating as partners to program management teams, allowing them to maintain competitive rates by eliminating traditional sales overhead.

The company's approach centers on three main delivery models: MSP/VMS/VMO accounts where they thrive in large contingent labor programs, HR-centered talent acquisition accounts where they operate as extensions of centralized HR teams, and retail/decentralized accounts where they help design customized recruitment processes. Their commitment to diversity extends beyond their MBE certification to include diverse candidate submissions and maintaining a diverse internal team.

With six distinct practice areas covering Information Technology, Data Science & Analytics, Finance Risk & Operations, Creative & Marketing, Change Management, and Professional & Administrative services, The Ashlar Group provides comprehensive talent solutions. They operate nationwide in all 50 states for W2 contractors and internationally in major English-speaking business hubs including London, Amsterdam, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Tokyo.

Their service offerings span staff augmentation, consulting, temporary services, direct hire, and statement of work projects. The company evaluates candidates beyond skillset, taking a deeper approach to ensure proper job matching while helping clients access talent even during headcount restrictions and improve workforce performance through clearly managed outcomes.
