5. Background and Reference Checks

Upon request, a reference synopsis for a specific candidate will be made readily available for your review and consideration.
6. Matching/Interview/Feedback
   Due to our thoroughness in obtaining a complete overview of a client’s job description and a candidate’s work history, we are able to effectively present the best qualified candidates for a client’s specific hiring needs. Through this process, once a candidate meets with our client, we consider them to be in the second interview phase. After interviews take place, we conduct a debriefing with our candidates and promptly contact the client to determine interest level and how to proceed forward with each candidate represented.
