Resilience Group

What Resilience Group does

Resilience Group, LLC is a privately held, founder-owned human resources consulting firm headquartered in Strongsville, Ohio, founded in 2009 by Natalie Lemons. The firm operates with a four-person team (Founder/President Natalie Lemons, Partner Peggy Wilson, Senior Recruiter Kerry Ilkanic, and Sourcing Specialist Becky Lowe) delivering three core service lines: executive search (retained, contingent, and contract staffing) focused on C-level, VP-level, and Director-level placements; tiered outplacement services (Executive, Professional, and Essentials programs) supporting employees through career transitions; and HR consulting delivered in partnership with Your Partner in HR, covering interim HR support, compensation, retirement planning, executive coaching, training, and employment law.

The business model is professional services with custom, quote-based pricing on a primarily retained search basis, supplemented by contingent placements and program-based outplacement contracts. The firm has no proprietary technology platform; delivery is entirely human-led, relying on consultant research, behavioral-based interviewing, and cultural-fit assessment. GTM motion is consultative and relationship-driven, with national reach across the United States despite a single Ohio office. Strategic partners include Your Partner in HR (since 2010), The Office Professionals, and Milano HR Services, which collectively extend the firm's HR delivery capacity without requiring in-house hires. Content marketing is anchored by The Resilient Recruiter blog authored by the founder.

The company serves a heterogeneous client base spanning small privately held organizations to large multibillion-dollar publicly held corporations across verticals including manufacturing, aerospace, consumer products, insurance, healthcare, retail, financial services, and emerging technology. No institutional funding, M&A activity, regulatory actions, or leadership changes are disclosed, and there is no mention of AI/ML tooling within the firm's own operations.
