Founder Biography

For Steve Clark, the most rewarding moments are born from connection—uniting exceptional talent with forward-thinking companies to change their trajectory for the better. This passion is the foundation of Bespoke Placement Group, a culmination of a decade spent mastering the art and science of recruitment. After navigating the worlds of global recruitment giants, niche industries, and hyper-growth tech, Steve saw a clear need for a more approachable and authentic staffing model.

This isn't just a philosophy; it's a proven track record of driving transformative growth. For one CPG start-up, he partnered with leadership to scale the team from 35 to 51 employees in just three months, a key factor in their market growth from $50M to $65M in one year. For a Michigan-based company, he led the recruitment efforts that doubled their Operations team from 150 to 300 employees in just 10 months, stabilizing a critical market launch in their first year. Steve's impact also lies in tackling the toughest searches, from placing highly specialized Control Engineers in remote locations for a medical device company in under two months to securing 17 niche IT placements for a $67B non-profit in 6 months. This strategic approach consistently delivers, helping one client to dramatically slash time-to-fill by 68%, or even building robust talent pipelines of over 3,000 engineers for future growth for another client..

Rejecting the "one-size-fits-all" approach, Steve built the firm with a partnership philosophy that embeds directly with clients to solve their true challenges—whether that means revamping hiring processes, building powerful referral networks, creating inclusionary practices, adding bandwidth to the recruitment process, or starting the hiring process from scratch. This commitment ensures that clients not only fill open roles but can continue to build the lasting, high-performing teams necessary to achieve their business goals.

At its core, the mission is simple: creating opportunities. Opportunities for companies to build stronger  teams, and for talented individuals to find roles where they can make a genuine impact and thrive.
