A Syracuse Success Story

Our Beginning

Founded in 1989 by Carol and Tom Fletcher, CR Fletcher has been a trusted partner in connecting top talent with leading businesses in Central New York and beyond. After years of building a strong reputation in the accounting and finance recruitment field, Carol expanded CR Fletcher to become a full-service staffing firm, with the goal of being the staffing partner of choice for leading employers. Tom brought years of experience in the high-tech industry when he joined CR Fletcher, proving to be instrumental in further shaping the firm’s operations and growth. After three decades of hard work and success, Carol and Tom retired, leaving behind a legacy of professionalism, dedication, and positive impact on the industry and community, and passing the reigns to long-tenured leaders of CR Fletcher – Joanne Rauch and Michelle Jevis.

A New Chapter...

In 2022, after each played prominent roles in the growth of CR Fletcher for 20+ years, Joanne Rauch took ownership of CR Fletcher Associates, and Michelle Jevis took ownership of CR Fletcher Temps and CR Fletcher Industrial. Under their leadership, the CR Fletcher brand continues to thrive as a trusted staffing partner and certified Women-Owned Business (WBE) in the City of Syracuse and New York State. Far surpassing industry norms, the CR Fletcher team of Recruiters offers an average tenure of over 10 years, proving that the team at CR Fletcher knows what it takes to help our clients find long-lasting employees.

CR Fletcher’s future is bright, building on the foundational roots started by our founders while embracing new possibilities. CR Fletcher is poised for growth, innovation, and an even stronger commitment to our employees, clients, candidates, and community.
