Client Services

1: We have an excellent performance record: Our clients enjoy adding a person to their staff while investing on average only 7 total man-hours and they interview on average only 3 people. In fact, in 2007 that average was 2.5 candidates! What this means to you is that our process and methodology allows you to focus your time on talking to very well screened and qualified candidates. Your time will not be wasted and your need will not go unfilled for 30-60-90 days.

2: We are not "resume facilitators". Our recruiters invest time to build and maintain relationships and keep their networks current by attending seminars, industry events, and social business gatherings, and association meetings.

3: We provide access to candidates that you would normally not have access to. We have invested over a million dollars in building and maintaining one of the largest candidate databases in the industry.

4: We do not employ recruiters that have worked for other search firms. All of our employees have been trained to live our core values. Our in house check and balance system is tedious, but provides excellent results. You are too important to us to have recruiters on board that have learned "the wrong way" how to service you.

5: We are family owned and run. We will give you the best results possible because we want you to come back. We have many clients large and small, and we look at each client as if they are our only client. In fact, for our clients where we have placed many, many people--we look at each assignment as if it is our first and only opportunity to earn that organization's trust and respect and the honor of calling that company a client.

6: We have a large team of recruiters that work together on an assignment. We have the capacity to put in over 100 man-hours the first day! We can make an immediate impact and show good, solid quality results. You won't be waiting and wondering what is going on.

7: We are capable of handling national and international assignment work. Although our offices are in Chicago, we have conducted many assignments nationally and internationally since 1964. Our office location is not relative to our geographic search areas. When needed in the past, we have maintained a "local" presence for the duration and need of the client.

8: We offer several different "human capital" solutions. We can provide quality candidates on a permanent basis, a temporary to permanent basis, a contract basis, and on a consulting basis (w2 or 1099). Our clients enjoy knowing that by picking up the phone and dialing one phone number, they can find solutions for a multitude of staffing challenges.

9: We have a retainer and contingency division. We can work on either basis. Each company is different and each assignment is different. We offer flexibility in the decision making process.

10: You will have access to us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Part of being family owned is our concern for your welfare. You have access to our staff at home, at work, and in between.

11: We stay with you long after the assignment is completed, to ensure a long and issue free transition. We provide good, critical, useful data to you from the candidate's perspective so that proactive, healthy, planned, and strategic decisions
are made. This occurs for the life of the candidate should the employer find this useful. Many times we are able to consult with a company so that they can reduce and eliminate future turnover.

12: We are skilled in diversity recruiting and hiring. We have helped many firms over the years enhance their human architecture in several ways. Diversity hiring is a complex practice and often a difficult area for a firm to focus on. We have developed a "best practice and methodology" that takes the worry and frustration out of creating change within an environment.

13: We are also able to provide on site staffing talent for our clients that have the need for 'face to face' resources. These professionals have solid, grounded, and real world experience-most for over 15 years. We provide very experienced and very capable staff to augment your needs. The days of your organization paying for staffing augmentation and training them at the same time are over!
