Strategic Value Partners

What Strategic Value Partners does

Strategic Value Partners (SVP) is a privately held, boutique consulting firm founded in 2017 and headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky. The firm is co-owned and principally operated by Bill Ehrmantraut and Chris Leigeb, both former owners/executives of OmniSource Staffing, a multi-state staffing company they grew from a single client to 13 branches and over $40M in sales before founding SVP. The firm also works with Jill Bush (Consultant) and Tom Kosnik of Visus Group, and applies Toyota Production System principles to its advisory work.

SVP's core offering is customized professional services for staffing-industry clients across the United States. Service lines include technology evaluation and vetting (ATS and other staffing software), implementation support, process and workflow design for recruiting, onboarding, applicant flow, timekeeping, and payroll, training and coaching, strategic planning, operational consulting, HR consulting, financial management support (budgeting, bonus programs), and sales and marketing strategy. The firm does not develop proprietary technology products, software, or APIs; its differentiation rests on the operating experience of its principals rather than on a productized platform.

The business model is project-based, quote-priced professional services delivered directly by the founders and senior consultants to staffing-company leadership. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales combined with referrals from satisfied clients and vendor partners (notably Avionte); lead generation is supplemented by blog/thought-leadership content. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no public listing. The customer base consists of U.S. staffing firms of varying sizes, with named clients including Avionte, WSi, OneSource Staffing and Labor, Synergy Employment Group, and Ntelicor Staffing.

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• Bullhorn: Major staffing-industry technology vendor providing ATS and CRM platforms to recruiting and staffing firms. While not a consultancy, Bullhorn competes for the same customer wallet (technology + implementation services) that SVP addresses with its ATS evaluation and implementation practice.
• JobAdder: Staffing and recruitment technology vendor offering ATS, CRM, and onboarding solutions. JobAdder is comparable to Avionte as an alternative technology stack that SVP-style boutique consultants evaluate, implement, and optimize for staffing customers.
• Avionte: Staffing-technology vendor whose ATS and front-office products are a primary focus of SVP's evaluation and implementation work. Avionte partners with SVP for customer-facing consulting, making it both a strategic ally and a potential substitute provider of implementation services.

Others

• American Staffing Association (ASA): The leading U.S. trade association for the staffing industry, providing compliance, legal, education, and advocacy services to staffing firms. ASA is an ecosystem participant rather than a competitor, but its education and training programs can substitute for some of SVP's training and coaching engagements.

Emerging players

• Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA): Research and advisory firm focused exclusively on the staffing industry, producing benchmark data, executive education, and advisory services. SIA overlaps with SVP's strategic-planning and operational-consulting offerings, but at a larger, more research-driven scale.
• Lighthouse Research & Advisory: HR and workforce research/advisory firm that publishes benchmark research and delivers strategic advisory to employers, including staffing-related organizations. It is comparable to SVP in offering specialized advisory, but with a broader HR-tech lens and research-led delivery.

Direct peers

• Haley Marketing Group: Marketing and consulting agency dedicated exclusively to the staffing industry, providing website development, recruitment marketing, employer branding, and sales support. Haley Marketing overlaps with SVP's sales and marketing strategy services and shares the same vertical-specialist go-to-market motion.
• Visus Group: Staffing-industry consulting firm led by Tom Kosnik, with whom SVP has a documented partnership. Visus Group focuses on organizational design, profitability improvement, and work culture transformation for staffing firms, overlapping SVP's operational consulting and leadership-foreman services.
