Compass Career Management Solutions – OI Partners, Inc. is owned by Robyn and Bill Crigger.

Date established: April 1994

CEO: Robyn A. Crigger; background in Elementary Education (Marshall University). Substitute teacher in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (1980’s) and Pre-School teaching (VA, NC, and GA), as well as holding Administrative positions (WV, GA, and IL). Majority owner of CCMS.

President: William A. Crigger, Human Resources (BS and MA – West Virginia University). Over 20 years’ service for the Kroger Co. (WV, VA, NC, and GA); also employed by the Food Marketing Institute in Washington, D.C. (food trade organization), and VP of Human Resources for Eagle Foods, headquartered in Milan, IL.

Followed passion for the outplacement industry by opening the Forum Group/dba The Transition Team in 1994 in Charlotte, NC. After 7 years as a franchise, continued the human resource-consulting firm with a new company name, created by clients, called Compass Career Management Solutions. (Clients commented that the words in this name speak to your strengths: Compass=giving direction; Career=strong career insight; Management=worked closely with management team; and Solutions=creative with “solutions” for all.)

Compass Career Management Solutions allowed for Robyn and Bill to open their umbrella of expertise to include “career transitions and talent management”. Compass Career Management has assisted companies in 35 states. This new company recognized the value of strategic partnerships, like OI Partners Inc., which continues to enhance our capabilities.

O.I. Partners, Inc. consists of fellow career transition and talent management firms. Compass Career Management Solutions became a fellow partner and stock holder of OI Partners in 2001.

Though Outplacement was the key service at the beginning in 1994, by their 10th anniversary the bulk of their services had gone from 100% Group Outplacement/Plant Closures to 75% Individual/Executive Outplacement Services. Since 2004 Compass Career Management has been requested and encouraged to provide other human resource and talent management-related services, including Executive Coaching, Conflict Management, Leadership Training, Educational Retirement Workshops, Six Sigma training for human resources, etc.

In addition, one of their goals is to stay current and proactive in business. Lastly, but most important is that Robyn and Bill Crigger stand for high integrity and strong ethics in business.
