Frequently Asked Questions About Working with AccruePartners

AccruePartners built its reputation on a proprietary, disciplined approach called the AccruePartners Business System (ABS), which guides every search from scoping through placement. The firm also operates on a relationship-first philosophy where candidates frequently become future clients and clients frequently become future candidates, creating long-term trust that generalist or transactional firms typically can’t replicate.

The AccruePartners Business System, or ABS, is a proprietary 14-step process for aligning talent, timing, and business needs. It combines market insight, rigorous candidate evaluation, and active partnership throughout each engagement to deliver consistent, high-quality outcomes for clients and candidates alike.

AccruePartners was founded in 2002 by two Charlotte-based recruiters who initially focused on the Accounting & Finance, Corporate Operations, and HR disciplines.
