“One clear, measurable difference in the search Recruitment Services

assisted with was the candidate pool. We had more than a dozen viable candidates from across the nation.

This was due entirely to their efforts. The end result was three finalists, all of whom would have been an

excellent choice for Director of the Office of Student Conduct.”

“Because of Recruitment Services’ help, I am happy to say that we were

able to fill the vacant IT Manager position with a start date

that met my goal.”
