I have enjoyed recruiting accounting and finance professionals for corporations in Omaha and throughout the upper Midwest for more than 23 years.  I joined Robert Half International in 1988 and was promoted to Director in 1993.  In 1998, I earned their “Chairman’s Club” award for leadership.  In February 2000, I made the decision to “live my dream” and founded Hemphill Search Group, following with Hemphill Staffing Solutions in 2001.  I am proud of our team, the progress we’ve made to date, and I am even more excited about our future growth! 

I understand that a company is only as strong as the players it has on the field.  I am passionate about understanding each client's business, culture, and growth objectives, so we can identify the individuals who will ultimately help our clients achieve their goals.  Our reputation is “on the line” each time we assist a client in hiring a new employee.  We take the time to make sure that we have found the "right match" so that each candidate we place is well positioned for success. Since excellence always endures and remains long after cost is forgotten, our team is squarely focused on delivering quality solutions the first time.  Because our Firm is built upon a foundation of strong values, I know that taking the “high road” and “doing the right thing” consistently are the cornerstones to lasting business relationships. 

I grew up in Griswold, Iowa, and graduated from Buena Vista University in Storm Lake, Iowa.  During my undergraduate studies I was a member of the football team and Students In Free Enterprise. I later completed the Entrepreneurial Masters Program at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).  I am an active supporter of Financial Executives International (FEI) and I am a proud member of The Association for Corporate Growth of Nebraska (ACG Nebraska). I am a Charter Member of the Nebraska Chapter of the Entrepreneurs Organization (EO), where I served several years on their Board of Directors. As a Director of the American Association of Finance and Accounting (AAFA), the oldest and largest alliance of executive search firms specializing in the recruitment and staffing of Finance and Accounting professionals, I gain exposure to national issues and trends. I have served as a member of the Alumni Board of Buena Vista University where I am committed to giving back to the students and leadership team of Buena Vista University.  I am also an active member of Westside Church in Omaha.

My wife Susie and I have four children, Cameron, Austin, Miles and Carmel.

Josh gained valuable experience as a CPA serving small, mid-sized and large clients in a variety of industries.  His years within public accounting have provided Josh with a solid foundation to build upon within the search industry.  He understands that the single biggest factor determining the success of a company is largely the quality of the people on the team and proper positioning.  While working with client companies, Josh takes the time to meet with each hiring authority to gain an in-depth understanding of the role, main responsibilities, outcomes to be achieved, and the culture of the team.

“I enjoy making a true difference, and a positive impact in the lives of the individuals we are assisting with career growth and management,” Josh adds.  “I recognize how important it is to really get to know the person we are working with, so we have a clear understanding of each individual’s strengths, interests, short and long-term career goals.” This in-depth understanding is key to identifying the “right-match.”

Josh earned his Bachelor of Science from Creighton University with majors in Accounting and MIS.  He worked his way through college and gained valuable experience with ERP systems while working as a Software Support Professional with a local software development firm. After graduation, Josh earned his CPA while working for BKD LLP.  Raised in Humphrey, Nebraska, Josh possesses a strong small-town work ethic. He is active in the community as a member of the Knights of Columbus, Nebraska Society of Certified Public Accountants (NESCPA), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA), Information Systems Audit & Control Association (ISACA), the Omaha Chamber of Commerce’s Young Professionals Council, and Josh is an alumnus of Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity.

Josh and his wife Lindsey have a young and growing family; their son John was born in 2010, so there are constantly new and exciting experiences in the Boesch family. Josh and Lindsey live in northwest Omaha and are members of St. Vincent DePaul Church.  They enjoy gardening, Creighton Basketball, Creighton Soccer, Nebraska Football and playing with their two cats and a golden retriever. In their spare time, Josh and Lindsey, and John have fun with friends and family while boating and jet skiing. Josh also enjoys working with his Dad while restoring his 1959 T-Bird and 1957 Ford Ranch Wagon.
