Back when I worked at my office job, we made extensive use of employment agencies to help with hiring new staff. We used a temp agency to find workers for the factory, and we used an executive recruiting firm to fill management positions.
The temps we got for the factory were generally pretty good, but we had a hard time holding on to the executives that the recruiting firm sent us. It seemed that we rarely got a candidate who was a good match, despite the fact that we spelled our our requirements in great detail.
The problem was with the recruiting firm itself. Apparently their screening process wasn’t as thorough as it should have been, so everyone ended up wasting a lot of time and money.
It’s too bad my former company didn’t use A.E. Feldman Associates for their recruiting needs. For the past four decades, A.E. Feldman has been highly successful in recruiting and placing executives in various financial, accounting, legal, consulting, human resources, and technology positions all across the country, and I’m sure they would have done a better job at finding qualified candidates than the firm we ended up going with.
At any rate, if I’m ever go back to the corporate world, you can bet I’ll recommend A.E. Feldman Associates for any executive recruiting needs!
