Career Seekers:
Please understand we receive over 600 resumes/applications each week. While we value all the individuals that contact us, it is impossible for us to respond to everyone. The service we offer is free, thus we will only contact you if we believe there is an immediate fit with one of our clients.
After the initial contact, screening and consulting, we will only contact you once there is a 100% certain match between your skill set and our client’s search criteria. After the interview process begins with our client(s) you will be communicating almost daily with your recruiter throughout the entire interview life cycle. Please review our FAQs and also watch the video which describes our process in more detail.
