THE F&C STORY

Following a successful career in advertising account management, Jill Detwiler joined Fristoe & Carleton as an executive recruiter in 2000. Within a decade, she assumed leadership of Fristoe & Carleton, launching the next generation of the firm and renaming it F&C Executive Search and Recruiting. Recognized as one of the Best 25 Recruiter Sites for Marketing, Advertising and PR Pros by Marketing Sherpa, F&C continues its history of evolving alongside the market and using advanced recruiting strategies and innovations to connect companies with specialized talent.


F&C’s roots go back to 1987, when Jack Fristoe launched a two-man executive search firm, Timbers & Fristoe, aimed at the marketing, advertising and public relations professions. The firm grew quickly, helped by Jack’s background as a former advertising executive, and in 1993 ad industry veteran Robert Carleton joined the company. He became a partner two years later, and was instrumental in helping Jack leading the firm, renamed Fristoe & Carleton, to its position as one of the leading niche executive search firms in the country.


Today, F&C is far more than a team of headhunters or marketing recruiters. They help companies find people who are passionate about their work and motivated to make contributions that lead to business growth and long-lasting success.
