About ACPWB

ACPWB's research has been cited in proxy statements, board resolutions, congressional testimony, and one notable shareholder activist's public campaign. We believe that means our work is consequential. We know it means we have to keep earning that reputation every year.

ACPWB was founded in Milwaukee in 2006 with a simple mandate: help working Americans understand and advocate for the compensation they deserve. Eighteen years later, that mandate has grown into a full-service research and advisory practice serving clients from early-stage employers to Fortune 50 enterprises — and we are still based in Milwaukee, because Milwaukee is genuinely underrated.

Interview Process

Our hiring process is direct and transparent: one phone screen, one technical interview, one final panel. We aim to complete the process within three weeks of initial contact. We will tell you where you stand at each stage, because we believe that is the right thing to do.

What Success Looks Like In Year One

• Successfully coordinate at least one firm-wide event or initiative from planning through execution
• Own at least one recurring talent acquisition and onboarding process end-to-end without requiring regular oversight
• Build positive, professional working relationships with staff at all levels of the firm
• Support the successful onboarding of any new hires by managing the logistics and providing a welcoming first day
• Establish yourself as a reliable, responsive point of contact for the Operations team
