Helping a leader hire a high performing individual makes a very positive impact for the leader, the team of co-workers, and the person we placed!  Austin shared: “It is incredibly rewarding to call the person we placed 6, 9, and 12 months later to hear they are having a lot of success, proud of their contribution to the company, and hearing they are having fun and truly happy in the position, company, and culture we helped them identify.”
