We offer both permanent and temporary placement services, so we don’t have to push one or the other. We’re able to offer a mix of services with only one goal in mind: to better serve the staffing needs of our clients. By combining our efforts, we have access to a wide range of candidates. We are able to coordinate our searches and tailor them to suit our needs.

We're here to help clients fill their needs and achieve their objectives, and that plainly requires that we practice what seems to be a lost art- the art of listening.

Before any candidate is presented to a client, we conduct an in-depth and in-person interview of the candidate, and here too, the art of listening is essential. Unless we are convinced that the candidate is truly right for the client, and the client is truly right for the candidate, the candidate is not presented. Our reputation rides on our candidates, and we don't take that lightly.

We review a candidate's employment history, and provide the client with a written record of the results of our review. We verify job-related college degrees. We test for various proficiencies, including, as appropriate, basic office skills, keyboard speed and accuracy, familiarity with commonly used computer programs and applications, and accounting and bookkeeping expertise.

Our counselors communicate regularly and openly about all of our candidates and all of our currently open positions. They would rather share credit for a great placement, than get all the credit for a mediocre one. In this way, each search is benefited by the insights and resources of our entire staff, and only the best candidates are presented.

Before a candidate is interviewed by the client, we discuss the interview with the candidate to make sure the candidate fully understands the nature of the position and the client company. We find that when candidates are well informed, both clients and candidates make better choices.

Before a candidate begins employment, we confirm the candidate's understanding of the position, and the commitment the candidate has made by accepting it. We discuss the client company and consider ways in which the candidate can make a positive contribution. We find that this post-placement conversation enables the candidate to fill the client's needs better and sooner.

Candidates appreciate our professionalism. They like the dignity we bring to the process. Although we probably ask more of them than other agencies, we get them better results, and they spread the word. So that year after year, we simply get the best candidates.
