The zengig mission

Empower and enable students and young professionals to maximize their career potential by providing the most comprehensive platform of resources, tools, guidance, and advice.

Our story

I started working as a recruiter in 1993 before opening my own staffing firm, 4 Corner Resources, in 2005. The company was created to change the staffing industry by operating at a personal, intimate level with clients and candidates alike. Throughout the years, 4 Corner has consistently been independently rated as the top staffing firm in Central Florida while receiving national recognition from Inc Magazine, Forbes, and the Business Journal. After nearly two decades in business, I’m proud that my team and I are able to conduct business in a personal way – the way we believe it’s done best.

In 2017, somewhat by accident, my team and I realized there was an alarming shortage on the internet of reliable, high-quality career advice and guidance. Wanting to share the knowledge and expertise gained by helping more than 12,000 job seekers find new career homes, we began creating a wide variety of content for corporate HR professionals, hiring managers, recruiters, and job seekers. We soon realized the most popular articles were those that provided career-related insight to job seekers. Specifically, young professionals and those searching for help finding their ideal professional path. It caught our attention in a significant way.

As we dug deeper, it became clear that a large void existed for students and those starting out when it came to comprehensive, reliable, and accurate advice on any and all things job or career-related.

The realization was a lightbulb moment, as our mission of doing business in a personal way suddenly took on an entirely new and deeper meaning. As a father of four, it was a perfect opportunity to combine my professional and personal life by leveraging more than a century of recruiting, HR, and business experience.

At that moment, our mission for zengig became crystal clear.
