SKG Consulting

What SKG Consulting does

SKG Consulting is a privately-held executive search and staffing firm headquartered at 30 Vreeland Road, Florham Park, New Jersey, in operation since 1971. The firm delivers talent acquisition services to corporate clients through three specialized practice groups operating as sub-brands: Jarvis Walker provides IT executive search with a heritage of over four decades identifying and assessing technology professionals; TRM (Technology Resource Management) delivers contract, contract-to-hire, and direct-hire staffing across all IT disciplines; and Foster McKay specializes in accounting and finance recruiting on retained, contingency, and contract bases. The firm serves a primarily New Jersey-based corporate client base, with a secondary office at 120 Wood Avenue South, Suite 503, Iselin, NJ.

The business operates as a professional services firm with revenue generated through placement and engagement fees tied to three distinct models: retained search (prepaid multi-year engagements with success guarantees, primarily through Foster McKay), contingency placement (success-based fees typically calculated as a percentage of first-year compensation), and contract staffing (hourly or weekly bill rates for temporary IT placements via TRM). Customer segmentation is horizontal across two verticals—IT and accounting/finance—with IT further split between executive search and contract staffing. No proprietary technology platform, AI tooling, or digital product surface is evident; the offering is fundamentally human-capital-intensive, delivered through recruiter-candidate-client relationships built over decades. Marketing and client development are described as referral- and word-of-mouth-driven rather than channel-based.

The firm is independently owned (no parent company, no external investors, no funding rounds disclosed) and there is no publicly available information on headcount, management team, revenue, or specific client engagements. The website reflects an active but small operation (copyright 2016–2021), with no evidence of M&A activity, product launches, leadership changes, geographic expansion beyond New Jersey, or strategic repositioning in recent years.
