Cornerstone Recruiting was founded in 2004 to provide targeted recruiting services to the Construction, Facilities Management, and Skilled Trades industries. In our primary role as the leading construction recruitment agency in Maryland, we gained an essential understanding of the needs of both employees and employers. We have grown to perform executive and mid-level searches for highly qualified executive, professional and technical candidates.

Over the years, we have expanded our recruiting services to other related niche industries such as Accounting & Finance, Architecture & Engineering, Property Management, and Manufacturing.

Cornerstone Recruiting is an executive search firm that began with a belief that staffing solutions don't have to be "one size fits all." Each client's business requirements and financial capabilities are as unique as their workforce needs, so why not offer a variety of solutions and customized responses to choose from?
In the Spring of 2004, Charlie Dougherty launched Cornerstone Recruiting, a company built upon the philosophy that it is an extension of each client's team. Earl O'Bryant joined Cornerstone Recruiting in 2012 as Business Development Manager and became Partner in the company in 2016. Ben Stewart joined Cornerstone Recruiting in 2009 to assist in the development of recruitment for the local manufacturing industry.

Mike Murphy & Cornerstone have been absolutely amazing throughout the whole recruitment process! I have never met such a professional and dedicated team. I cannot thank you enough for your full support and for helping me start a new chapter of my life. The entire process was completely painless and Mike handled everything with extreme detail. I wouldn't recommend anyone else!

Mike was fantastic! He really took the time to go over details most won't and worked with me throughout the process. Followed up with me during and after. I can't thank him enough for taking the time to get ahold of me and point me in the direction to a new career that will be beneficial for me and my family for our next chapter in life. Great down to earth guy.

Katherine Chizmar has been wonderful since the first day we talked. She was easy to communicate and she gave me all the support necessary to get my first job in the USA. I'm very thankful for all she has done and absolutely recommend her. I also spoke with Pauline Wheeler twice as Kate suggested and she was also wonderful and helped me to prepare myself for the interviews.

Regarding the hiring process, Mike was very thorough and helpful in assisting me. Moreover, in securing a position at Bizerba, recruiting was very much instrumental. As it provided me with sufficient framework to base my expectations.

Cornerstone Recruiting was able to find the perfect job for me. This agency really had my best interest in mind throughout the job seeking process. Such a good employment fit was found that I don't see myself looking for another job but should that be the case I would not hesitate reaching back to Mike at Cornerstone for his help and expertise finding the right job that meets my criteria. A great experience from starting the search to finding the right career fit!

Worked with Mike from Cornerstone for about a month and a half before taking on my new job. He worked with me through every step and was very transparent about the entire process. He made the entire process from the initial conversation, to signing the hiring paperwork much easier. It was nice working with someone who saw my potential as a recent college graduate who was able to portray my potential to the company. Based on my experience with Cornerstone as someone seeking employment I would highly recommend them.
