Make First Choice Your First Choice

Founded in 1992, First Choice is a full-service executive search and career consulting firm working with both companies and individuals on a local, regional, national and international basis.

  • We provide services for companies such as executive search and organizational consulting that improve the performance of the company’s greatest asset—its people.
  • We also work with individuals on issues such as career coaching, outplacement, resume writing/critique and interview training.
Our insight helps us evaluate not only the skills and experience of candidates, but the cultural setting in which they will achieve their peak potential. We help companies evaluate their corporate culture and assess how this should influence what they look for in candidates.


What Our Clients Say
“As I look at the employees who were hired as a result of your efforts, I am reminded of how well we have done. We have several business leaders as well as a host of technical people wearing the Sarlat badge of approval. It’s no wonder I consider you an integral part of our recruiting team.”
Regional Director, Human Resources
Chemical Manufacturer


“What I appreciate about Michele Sarlat is her interest in really understanding the position that needs to be filled. She doesn’t waste a lot of my time sending me marginal candidates. She narrows the field to the top two or three. All of the candidates she has ever sent for review were qualified and above average for the position.”
Vice President, Human Resources
Pulp, Paper & Converting Manufacturer


“We appreciate your professionalism in the sometimes unprofessional game of personnel recruitment. First Choice always gives us a senior principal’s expertise, contacts and market knowledge. You maintain a close watch on the particular industries we need and you follow through to make sure the candidate appears at the new position. For all these reasons, we keep coming back to First Choice.”

Michele Sarlat was retained as an outplacement counselor by my former firm to help me with a job search. In working with Michele I found her to be straight forward, understanding and supportive. She provided a framework, which helped to focus my efforts. Overall she provided thoroughly professional services. I would recommend her to any company interested in providing individual outplacement services for their employees.
