TurningPoint Executive Search, Inc. celebrates its Grand Opening

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA, June 15, 2007—TurningPoint Executive Search, Inc. officially opened its doors this month in San Diego.  Based in North County and working throughout San Diego and south Orange County, the creation of TurningPoint marks a shift in the region’s executive search industry. Dedicated to the successful placement of Financial, Tax and Audit Professionals, TurningPoint is the premier resource for emerging and seasoned financial talent.

 “98% of San Diego’s businesses employ fewer than 100 employees,” says TurningPoint founder and Principal Ken Schmitt.  “Moreover, our community is comprised primarily of privately held businesses with only .1% trading publicly.  Many of these small private companies have limited access to a dedicated, in-house human resources or recruiting professional.”  Schmitt went on to say “TurningPoint takes a holistic approach to recruiting for our clients by developing a long-term strategy of recruitment and retention, regardless of company size and business structure.” 

A San Diego native and USD graduate, Schmitt has been placing mid- and high-level finance, accounting, audit and tax professionals for nearly 10 years.  He explained that it has always been his vision to establish a firm that can effectively address the distinct needs of our city’s businesses. By launching TurningPoint, he has done just that.  By offering expertise in recruiting, on-boarding, succession planning and effective positioning, TurningPoint employs a customized strategy that reflects the unique size, structure, and resources of each client.  The firm is passionate about positioning each client as an ‘Employer of Choice’ in their target markets enabling them to attract and retain the best talent.
