Blog - Executive Arrangements

Welcome to ConnectToCLE!

Each week or so EA’s blog addresses various topics relevant to the people that we help. We work with companies and organizations to attract and welcome top talent to Northeast Ohio. We do this by connecting job candidates, new hires and their families to the people, places and lifestyle opportunities in Cleveland and Akron.

Our blog presents meaningful information about life in Northeast Ohio, relocation topics and trends in destination services. We answer both the common and uncommon questions that we hear from our clients and the people that we introduce, welcome and acclimate to Northeast Ohio.

And why ConnectToCLE? Because CLE is catchier than Northeast Ohio, Cleveland or Akron. But, rest assured! Our blog does address the entire seven county region we serve.
