Candidates: For the federal government to be efficient and effective it needs the best and the brightest employees who want to serve their fellow countrymen and who are willing to share their knowledge, their skills, and their energy for the betterment of our nation. For America to remain the world leader and successfully respond to the foreign and domestic challenges of the 21st century, your government agencies sometimes require contract staffing for projects, fill-in or other critical tasks. For us, the Hire Standard applies for all of our clients and for all of our services.

Critical issues that set us apart and add value to your staffing initiatives.

CPC (Certified Personnel Consultant) certified. A CPC is equivalent to a CPA for accountants — and is only awarded after passing a rigorous battery of tests relating to laws and processes for Interviewing, Hiring and Human Capital Management.

We ask you to critically examine your needs. We don't just fill orders like a parts department does. Just look at our job request on our website.

We insist on actual performance-based references. Typical headhunters accept employment verifications on their candidates. And many accept educational statements at face value. Most employers are stopped by HR department or bureaucratic stonewalls. We don't stop until we get the facts. People typically don’t list their accomplishments on their resumes, just their job duties. But it’s their achievements that can set them apart. Of course, to assure accuracy, we also make sure any accomplishments listed can be verified. And, of course, if our clients require — or request — background or criminal checks or drug testing, those services are available.

As your representative, we educate the best qualified candidate about what makes your organization a good fit for them. For us, a hire that meets the needs of both employee and employer creates a win/win situation and confirms that any fees represent a good value for the client.

As a professional staffing organization, we are uniquely set up to help you manage your hiring budget by offering you:

HIRING OPTIONS FOR PROFESSIONAL STAFF: TEMP, TEMP-TO-HIRE OR "GUARANTEED" DIRECT HIRES.

And, of course, if our clients require — or request — background or criminal checks or drug testing, those services are available.

• Properties need to be managed and serviced whether the economy is growing or not. That’s why we’re always recruiting --- everything from residential and commercial property managers, leasing consultants and maintenance engineers to administrative staff and accountants for your office operations.

• Even in an economic downturn, there’s a shortage of really good prospects — people who have the CPM or RPA certification, good communication skills, a demonstrated ability to manage a budget, and a professional appearance. We have the know-how to find the quality person you need and provide the buffer you need from all the rest.

• Property managers need leadership skills. They also need to be able to read and analyze the monthly financial statement produced by a community or property. A work history that shows stability is also extremely important since good tenure indicates commitment and longevity with a company. It takes property management companies time to train new people, so you want some indication that they’ll stay once they’re trained. We're specialists in finding just that kind of person for you.

• Some hiring managers depend on their "Network" to pass around cast-off résumés. We're professionals who recruit for exactly the right attributes you need to solve your problem. We determine what type individual best suits your particular work environment. We assess the candidate’s competencies and intangibles to provide a match for your total criteria.

YOUR projects are important, relevant and need to be managed and serviced whether the economy is growing or not. Our task is to help you manage your staffing budget -- especially when grant money is tight. That’s why we’re always recruiting --- everything from PhD level researchers to administrative staff and accountants for your office operations or fundraisers to keep the money flowing.

Even in an economic downturn, there’s always a shortage of really top prospects: people who not only have the education, but also possess good communication skills, a professional appearance and an understanding that the workplace is different from academia. We have the know-how to separate the productive ones from the ones who merely promise productivity.

Beyond degrees, we look for a work history that shows stability, a work ethic that shows tenacity and social skills that indicate ability to interact with others without sacrificing their independent thinking and problem solving skills.

Some hiring managers depend on their "Network" to pass around cast-off résumés. We're professional recruiters — skilled at matching exactly the right attributes you need to solve your problem. We determine what type of individual best suits your particular work environment. We assess the candidate’s competencies and intangibles to provide a match for your total criteria.

Some projects don't get started because you're reluctant to put an individual on your payroll when grant money is limited. We can provide help on a Temporary basis to do the research, write the reports, edit them... or even do the fundraising necessary to find the money you need to continue your work.

And sometimes you're into a project with the deadline in sight and your staffer leaves for a great opportunity or a family emergency or an unexpected whatever. Does your project screech to a halt? Or do you have a Plan B ready? We can help keep everything on schedule and on budget.

CREDIT CARD BILLING FOR CONVENIENCE AND SAVINGS
