Brilliant® Announces Sheldon Schur As Chief Executive Officer

CHICAGO, Illinois – November 12, 2020 – Brilliant®, an award-winning direct-hire, contract and consulting practice specializing in accounting, finance and technology, announced an addition to the executive leadership team this week.

The firm, along with private-equity leader Silver Oak Services Partners, LLC (“Silver Oak”), hired Sheldon Schur as Chief Executive Officer. 

A 25-year staffing industry veteran, Schur brings a successful track record of achieving high-revenue goals and transforming businesses through organic growth and acquisition.

Of his new appointment, Schur says, “It is with great excitement that I join Brilliant as CEO. I know what an amazing company this is and how much success they have had historically. I could not be happier walking into a culture so rich and dynamic.” Schur continues, “The team embodies what it is to be a true leader in the recruiting, staffing and consulting space. Together, I know we can have continued growth and success for many years to come.”

Prior to Brilliant, Schur was President at Gifted Healthcare, a nurse-owned staffing company focused on providing nurses in the acute care space, and the driving force behind their rapid expansion. Before that, Sheldon spent more than a decade at the staffing and consulting giant ManpowerGroup where he was Vice President, General Manager, leading the international strategy and execution for some of the organization’s most significant global clients, the professional services business including finance and technology solutions, and Recruitment Process Outsourcing in North America.

Schur actively serves on the board of directors for the Hoffman Company and United Professionals and is a past board member of The Intensivist Group.

Brilliant President, Kathy Spearing, adds, “I am so proud of what we have accomplished over the past 11 years. As we look ahead at achieving our vision, I know the best is yet to come. I could not be more pleased with the decision to bring Sheldon aboard to lead the charge of growing the business and taking it to the next level.” Spearing continues, “Now, more than ever, we can really make an impact in this market, and I look forward to what is ahead.”

Since 2009, the firm has seen massive success, including being named Chicago’s No. 1 fastest-growing company by Crain’s Chicago Business in 2015, and most recently, one of America’s 2020 Best Professional Recruiting Firms and one of America’s 2020 Best Executive Recruiting Firms according to Forbes, and ClearlyRated’s Best of Staffing Client and Talent in 2020.

In March 2018, Brilliant aligned with Silver Oak, along with management and co-investors, to head its recapitalization.
