Located near Philadelphia, PA, Criterion Search Group is a boutique firm respected for its personalized service and success in finding world-class executives for a range of organizations. Criterion is a generalist firm, unbound by any specific industry, geographic area, business size or employment function. Criterion was recently ranked by the Philadelphia Business Journal as one of the region's top executive search firms.

Criterion President Beth Hare brings more than 20 years’ experience as an executive search professional, having recruited and selectively placed executives at organizations both regionally and nationally. Criterion's executive searches are often national, and occasionally international, in scope. Areas of expertise range widely and include searches for executives for the financial services area, investment firms, law firms, foundations, corporate human resources departments, and pharmaceutical and technology organizations.

Beth Hare has the expertise, experience, and an extensive and expanding network of qualified candidates to fill the most demanding positions. Beth also is adept at studying emerging challenges in several niche industries, monitoring broad-based cultural shifts across a spectrum of businesses and industries, and creating flexible new structures for organizations seeking to improve service or performance.

Unlike other search firms that rely on junior staffers—with whom clients have no personal relationship—to carry out the actual search, Beth is intimately involved in the entire search process. As a result of building a relationship with clients, and actively participating in every step of recruitment, the client receives the intense and highly skilled focus of the firm's senior executive throughout the search.

Beth is a graduate of Bucknell University and has a degree in Human Resources management from New York University. She began her career on Wall Street, working for Morgan Stanley before joining the search industry. In the Philadelphia area, she is a board member of Saunders House, a leader in providing long-term care and rehabilitative services, and also serves on the board of Appleford, a historic 22-acre arboretum and bird sanctuary. Beth serves as an advisor to The Center for Emerging Visual Artists.
