SEEK Careers
Our Story
SEEK was founded in 1971 by Carol Ann Schneider, CPC, SPHR, a Grafton, Wisconsin resident. The name SEEK was derived from a combination of initials in Carol’s family—a tradition believed to bring success to those it represented. From Carol’s home, SEEK began placing assignment employees to serve the temporary staffing needs of Ozaukee County businesses.
As the business grew, it was incorporated in 1975. The Grafton office expanded beyond Carol’s home to several building locations before settling into its current space on Opportunity Drive in 1997.
Carol led SEEK with passion and dedication for over five decades. Following her passing in March 2025, Carol’s son, Joel Schneider, assumed the role of CEO, continuing the family legacy. Several members of the Schneider family remain actively involved in the company today.
SEEK’s portfolio includes offices across Wisconsin and Minnesota, serving a diverse range of clients and job seekers throughout the region.
