Managing Partner
Josh Berger is a leader in the staffing industry known for his strong personal relationships in the accounting/finance community. Prior to cofounding Polaris, Josh spent a few years being an awful accountant and then found his passion in recruiting. At Kforce, he spent ten years as a recruiter and managed the Finance & Accounting division winning highest production honors every year.
As a Managing Partner with Polaris Financial Staffing, Josh leads business development, recruiting strategy and training. He continues to run a full recruiting desk (and probably always will because he loves his clients and candidates!)
Recruiter Director – Partner
In the Atlanta Accounting community, if you haven’t been placed in a job by Laura O’Rourke, you probably know someone who has. Laura O’Rourke has been a staple in Atlanta’s finance and accounting recruiting industry for over 20 years. Prior to cofounding Polaris, Laura was part of award winning teams at Kforce and Solomon Edwards. In 2009, she joined forces with Josh Berger to help create and grow Polaris Financial Staffing. Laura sets the bar very high regarding customer service, candidate delivery and ethical recruiting conduct.
Laura has been overheard saying things like “Polaris has been the best career decision of my life” and “Josh Berger is the smartest staffing leader I’ve ever worked with”, but to be fair, these things were said during a Polaris Happy Hour. However, we are fairly certain that she likes it here.
I would highly recommend Josh Berger to anyone that might need an outstanding recruiter. I have had the pleasure of knowing and working directly with Josh and he truly stands out as one of the best recruiters in the industry. I admire the relationships that Josh builds with his clients and candidates. He also goes above and beyond as a mentor and a manager. You cannot go wrong with him as your business partner!
I have utilized Josh from Polaris many times over the years and he has always provided me with top notch folks! If you need to use a firm to find top talent, I highly recommend Polaris.
We have utilized Polaris and his team for our professional staffing needs many times. He provided exactly the professional talent and diverse skillsets that we required. He seems to always have several strong candidates that fit our exact needs. Additionally, Josh is excellent to follow-up and ensure that we are getting exactly what we need, very service oriented. I highly recommend Josh and Polaris.
Our company moved to Atlanta and I had to hire 20 people for our Accounts Receivable team. At first, I used several recruiters, but Josh’s quality was far and above the rest, so we decided to use Josh’s services exclusively to build the team. I have no regrets.
Josh has been instrumental in helping my group find the right candidates to hire at Verizon where timing was of the essence. What is unique about Josh is the fact that he spent time at our offices speaking with existing team members to get hands on experience and knowledge about what we do. Other recruiters just simply read the job description and then started e-mailing me resumes that were obviously a poor fit! This keen attention to detail has enabled Josh to save me countless hours by finding the right fit for our team. We at Verizon are very grateful to Josh and the rest of the team at Polaris for their diligent efforts in getting it right the first time:)
