We relate to our candidates and clients as partners. To work with them effectively, we must develop strong relationships based in mutual trust and respect as well as effective collaboration every step of the way.  We operate at our highest level when given the opportunity to operate as an extension of our client’s internal teams, not just as vendors or supplier.

Operating as partners, we are committed to our clients’ success and satisfaction.  We focus on staying in communication, anticipating needs and opportunities. We work to fix breakdowns quickly, by communicating openly about what is working and what is not as well as challenging each other’s thinking and expectations. Creating these partnerships have allowed us to create lasting relationships well beyond the placement or engagement. 

We encourage everyone to take risks and show commitment to making things happen. Go after opportunities. Be bold. To make an impact in today’s world, you must be able to put yourself out there. Being bold in the questions we ask, the innovation we bring to the field of Recruiting and being willing to go out on a limb for a client or candidate to make the biggest impact in their job search brings out the Taurean bull in each of us.

We believe true engagement is the fuel for successful, mutually beneficial relationship. We believe in being fully present and engaged with each other, our clients and candidates as that is when the magic of what is said and unsaid comes to light. Truly being with each other to understand their needs and wants will help us deliver on company and candidate goals and dreams at a high level.  Engagement for us also happens in our community. Actively mentoring, volunteering, speaking at and supporting organizations that fuel our IT community is what we believe brings out the best in in our industry benefiting the clients and candidates we work with to create a highly desirable marketplace.

The most truly empowering feeling is to be given a sense of freedom and responsibility. It signifies trust between the two parties; whether with a candidate, client or with a colleague, trust is the number one most empowering tool we have. If we learn to trust in each other’s work ethics and capabilities, we can grow stronger and closer as a firm and as a service industry.

Empowering the team means giving opportunities to learn, experiment, test, fail and take responsibility for. When team members are empowered, they are given growth opportunities while being mentored to grow in experience and knowledge so that they have the confidence to take on new skills and responsibilities.

We wholeheartedly believe in the well-known Confucius quote, “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” Our team is passionate about what we do every day. While we love what we do, it’s important for us to find ways to infuse fun into the time we spend at work.

Having fun is important for remaining sane in the fast-paced world we live and work in. We don’t believe fun at work takes away from productivity—we believe it increases it. When you enjoy the people, you work with and the environment you work in, it’s much easier to focus your passion toward helping our clients and candidates.

Having fun at our office with our coworkers transcends the fun relationships we build with our clients and candidates. It allows us to get to know them better, laugh with them and be present and engaged and ultimately find the right match for them in the search they have trusted us to do.
