Problem: Most recruiters provide a superficial level of service.
Problem: Most recruiters “Over-Promise” and “Under-Deliver.”

7. Our Method: The Art of Recruiting
Our true expertise is experience. We take the time required to understand the position and the company culture.
When evaluating a candidate, we consider: 
1. Can they do the job? (This is the easy one)
2. Will they do the job? (This requires life experience and deep knowledge of human nature)
3. Will they accept direction? (This again requires a deep "streetwise" knowledge of human nature)
We improve the probability of a successful, durable hire!
