Career Associates began in August 1990. The company founder is Gene Whorl. Mr. Whorl is a life-long resident of the Evansville area. He provides an excellent mix of corporate and private sector management philosophy and educational background that relates to all levels of candidates and corporations. Gene has counseled hundreds of displaced and trailing spouses and corporations throughout the years. A personalized bond is secured with each corporation and individual no matter what level of profession or size of company they are.

Career Associates commenced operations during the recession era that started in 1990. To make the company recession-proof, diversity and common sense took place. The company offers multiple personnel service that include permanent placement, outplacement, trailing spouse assistance, human resource consulting, pre-employment testing services and background verification to corporations of all sizes and various industries. All services offered by Career Associates are paid for by companies.
