 Rick Sears is a management graduate from Purdue University and began his professional career at Management Recruiters International (MRI) as a Research Analyst in 1996.
Rick quickly grew to a Senior Executive Recruiter and Strategist with one of the Southeast's most reputable executive search firms, The Wilmington Group (an MRI affiliate).
It was during his professional growth in the executive search environment that he honed his business and teaching skills and reinforced his zest for being an entrepreneur.
In 1999, Rick founded e-Search Logistics, an e-learning and media marketing organization for the recruiting industry.
In 2001, Rick also founded EmailIdeas.com, a national marketing company revolutionizing the way people market themselves and company through email.
Even today, EmailIdeas.com continues to thrive as a market leader.
In late 2002, Rick co-founded Sterling Partners, today one of the largest virtual recruiting organizations in the country focusing on professional recruitment in a variety of markets and professions.
Rick continues his role as CEO of Sterling Partners and the majority of his time there is focused on strategy, operations and "partner" development.
Building on the success and market niche of e-Search Logistics, Email Ideas
and Sterling Partners, in early 2008, Rick founded American Career Services, an organization dedicated to providing professional career services.
With ACS' growth and reputation for assisting professionals nationally, it was a natural evolution to merge with Career Masters International (CMI), an international outplacement and career readiness organization in early 2010.
Rick currently presides as President and CEO of Career Masters International.
Rick is a highly sought after conference speaker and motivator and has been featured in hundreds of recruitment/outplacement seminars and in the local media for recruitment/employment perspectives.
