A large percentage of the people I have placed in the last 20 plus years are still in their respective positions. When it comes to hiring the right person for your firm, it takes more than a job description and a contract. My clients call me because they know I am here for them today......and tomorrow. I have been in the financial recruiting industry since 1990. I opened the Robert Half/Accountemps office in Plano, Texas and distinguished myself by placing in the top 10 in the world for four years running. In August of 1997, I was recruited by Spherion and achieved similar success. As Branch Director there I won more awards for most improved office for two straight years. As a Past President, I continue to assist actively in the Dallas Area Chapter, Institute of Management Accountants Recruiting has changed since the days of a computer chained to a desk and a land line phone. As an early adopter, I joined Linkedin in May of 2004, a year after it's inception. This is just one example of how I see the value of staying on the cutting edge of technology in the recruiting industry, yet nothing replaces the personal touch and relationships I've developed when working with clients and candidates. That one fact is what differentiates me from other recruiters and is why an old client can call, and I'm still here!
