Shouldn’t You Partner With Us, Too?
It starts with a needs analysis to gain a complete understanding of your requirements and culture. We consider the hard and soft skills that are important to your company, as well as the personality traits required for the role. We assess the work environment, the direct supervisor’s management style, and whether the employee will be expected to be self-motivated or work independently or as part of a team.
Most importantly, we give candidates the same level of attention to ensure an accurate match. By remaining in touch with candidates, we get regular feedback to ensure they are happy on the job – improving engagement and reducing turnover.

100% of our focus is on recruiting, screening, interviewing and matching the best candidates with your job openings. A primary purpose of using our service is to save you time and ensure all your positions are filled. It is important to move quickly when there is a great match. Setting up additional interviews can often delay the process and risk missing out on this candidate. Customized processes can be accommodated.
The great thing about using our temp-to-hire and temporary services is you only pay for the hours the employee works at your company. If you find the employee is not a perfect fit, we will immediately find a replacement. If you notify us within the first 4 hours of employment, you will not be billed for those hours. We also offer direct placement services and guarantees vary based on the agreement for each client. All clients can access true after-hours service.
