GROWTH: Since 2016, we have achieved more than 40% year-over-year average revenue growth.

CLOSE RATE: We place well-qualified professionals, and we selectively screen the companies we partner with, which has helped lead to a 97%+ close rate on our retained searches.

 

TRAINING: By taking the long view on each of our new team members and with continuous reinvestment in technology, sourcing resources, training, and development, our average tenure is progressively increasing, leading to significant and rapid income increases on/for our team.
