Ryan Consulting Group

What Ryan Consulting Group does

Ryan Consulting Group (RCG) is a privately held, partner-owned professional staffing and recruitment services firm headquartered at 851 Blairhill Rd, Charlotte, NC. The firm sells four core service lines: Contract Staffing (temporary placement with payroll and benefits administration), Direct Hire (fee-based permanent placement), Project Solutions delivered under a Statement of Work (fixed-price end-to-end project execution), and Recruiting Services (contract recruiter placement and ongoing recruiting partnerships). All four are variations of human-placement services; RCG has no proprietary technology platform, no software product, no API, and no app, and the underlying delivery model is face-to-face meetings, in-depth interviews, background and drug screening, and continuous client contact rather than automated matching. The defining operating feature, per the firm's own positioning, is that sales and recruiters work as a single unit accountable for client satisfaction at every engagement stage, in contrast to the typical agency model where the two functions are separate.
