Your Recruitment Coach: How to Handle References
Recruiters Source the BEST Candidates for Your Company
I must tell you that we posted this EA job opportunity on Indeed and another site, and had a lot of applicants. After going through the timely process of elimination, we ended up with about 5 candidates to personally interview. The candidates that Marty has brought us were both much, much better than what we did on our own. I also asked both candidates how they felt about Marty as a recruiter, since we are recommending your company to all our franchisees, and they both had rave reviews about his follow up, sincerity and kindness. Just thought you would like to know that.
