OnEmployers is a completely objective, nonproprietary service organization hosted and operated by First Resource, Inc.
OnEmployers grew from our extensive experience helping hundreds of thousands of individuals and thousands of organizations around the world to measurably improve their performance. In 1990 we started teaching quality management to global executives and in 1998 we established a consultancy which applied engineering principles to human resource management. That same year we also launched Staffing.org and later, HRMetrics.org, both of which became leading authorities on human resource performance.
We have a twelve year legacy of absolutely confidential and secure data collection. More than 1,000,000 people have participated in our surveys and every single participant’s identity and responses have been and always will be, completely cloaked and protected.
After extensive experience with employee opinion surveys we began collecting and analyzing feedback from candidates and external workforces in 1999. Within a few years our work had saved organizations tens of millions of dollars, driven even greater increases in sales and significantly improved workforce engagement and satisfaction. In 2010 our feedback management experience, systems and processes were incorporated into OnEmployers.
Founder and President Nick Burkholder co-authored The Executive Career Guide with Richard H. Beatty and with Preston Edwards, Sr. and Libby Sartain edited the book on the most fundamental and critical driver of organization performance: On Staffing: Advice and Perspectives from HR Leaders. Nick also wrote Outsourcing: Perspectives, Applications & Implications, which organization leaders have rated "the single best take on outsourcing." He wrote Ultimate Performance: Measuring Human Resources at Work, with Scott Golas and Jeremy Shapiro. All were published by John Wiley and Sons.
