I worked with HR Personnel Services during the holidays of 2017 and, although the season was for celebration, their recruiter carefully listened to my needs and kept carrying on the recruiting process. Dedicated, insightful and responsive -that is how I would describe their recruiter and HR Personnel Services.

Working with HR Personnel Services was a pleasure and a success story. Their recruiter worked very closely with us keeping us informed of the entire process, had great follow-up, and found us the right candidate within the timeframe we set for her. She earned our trust, and we, in turn, earned a great resource. Great work!
