Chartwell Staffing

Chartwell Staffing- headquartered in Lancaster, PA-was purportedly founded by Tracy Schenider-Kidan, in 2011.


It has since grown to a company with hundreds of employees and 300 million in yearly revenue. The staffing titan is in a category with other giants of the industry, including Baron HR and Nelson Staffing, and services several elite clients, include Tesla, Thyssen Krupp, DHL and Credit Suisse. Although its main offices are in rural Pennsylvania, its presence is felt throughout the country with offices in major metro areas like Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, Seattle, and San Francisco. 


From the outside looking in, it appears to be a healthy and thriving organization, led by a young CEO, Holmes Lilley.

 But everything isn’t as it seems. Chartwell’s destruction is coming from within, and like a freight train, its only picking up speed, and its going to be impossible to stop.

I'm Gonna Be a Lawyer

According to the interview with Holmes posted last segment, he was unaware where he was headed following college with a degree in English. After discussing his future with the father of a prep-school classmate, Holmes decided to head to law school at Elon University. Upon completion of his legal education, Holmes headed back home to North Carolina to practice with the firm  Karen McKeithen Schaede, PLLC in corporate law. After bouncing around between KMS and working as GC for healthcare company HMS, Holmes landed at Chartwell in 2016 as General Counsel. His ascension to CEO came 2 years later and during this time, he simultaneously founded and headed the firm Employer Defense Group LLC. According to its website ( here ), EDG provides defense against workers compensation claims. They claim to use a pro-active approach to avoiding litigation from occurring, as well as defend its clients when it does.   Wait, what? Yes, you heard that correctly. A man who is currently ...

Tracy Kidan and the Tax Man

While the CEO of Chartwell is Holmes Lilley, the company’s president, founder, and majority owner is Tracy Schneider-Kidan. She resides in the same county as the company’s headquarters, and if one searches the county clerk’s website ( http://prothonotary.co.lancaster.pa.us/civilcourt.public ) using her name as the search-term query, there are several cases that pop up. Of these cases, three are harbingers of the currently dire financial situation that Chartwell is in. I will enumerate on that later, but first, let’s discuss these cases visible on Lancaster County’s website.   In February of 2016, a federal tax lien was filed by the IRS for $228,828.64 against Mrs. Schneider-Kidan. If you notice in the top upper right-hand corner of the document, it clearly states, beneath “area”, that this is in regard to “Small business/Self-employed area.” Currently, Chartwell is the only company registered under Tracy Schneider-Kidan, so in other words, Chartwell Staffing hadn’t paid ...

The Apple Fell Further

No doubt you have gathered that Holmes Lilley is bit impulsive, showy and driven by his most primal impulses, but the question now remains why? Well, finding out is actually a bit easy if you just use Google. In a profile of Holmes posted  here , Holmes gives us his background. Born in North Carolina, he describes his upbringing as tumultuous and unstable, with his mother working three jobs and resorting to welfare to make ends meet for herself and her children. There is absolutely no shame in this, as sometimes we all need some help, and it surely isn't responsible for the troubles seen later on its Holmes' character, but it likely didn't help. So, where was Holmes' father during his childhood? Turns out, Holmes William Lilley Sr, his father, struggles with drugs and the criminal lifestyle it comes with. Since at least 2016, Lilley Sr has been involved in three separate arrest incidents here , here , and  here  involving felony drug possession and felony violation o...
