Amanda Barton & Career Group Staffing was our May Spotlight

Amanda Barton, Career Group Staffing was our spotlighted member for May. She was able to share some unique points about Career Group that not too many folks may know. Career Group is locally owned, not a national firm owned by someone outside of our area, which is most of what we have around. Because they live and work here and have done extensive research, they know their market better than the competition. They immediately cater to your needs. They know that staffing decisions need to be made quickly because there’s a job that has to be done.

“We do a full interview, orientation, and reference checks for every candidate. We also can test clerical candidates. The most common tests are Word, Excel, data entry, and typing. We can also do specialized orientation by company and drug and background check if the company wants it” says Barton.

Career Group has a “Team” approach, every staff member at Career Group understands their clients’ and candidates’ needs. So no matter when you call, you will always get someone with the knowledge of your needs that gives you a certain comfort level that your needs are indeed going to be met. Whether you need someone on a temporary basis from 4 hours to 4 weeks to 4 months, or you are looking to hire someone on a permanent full time basis, Career Group is the place for you.

Together with our client company, we develop a concise job profile including skills, educational equivalents, experience level and personality requirements. Whether the recruitment is for a full-time, contract, temporary to hire, or temporary position, it is imperative that the job description is well defined for the project to be successful. A strong job description yields a greater understanding of the job requirements to better match a skilled candidate to the job. The candidates are interviewed and screened by a professional proficient in their field of knowledge. In-depth reference checks are executed to verify the information gathered. Our state-of-the-art database system allows quick access to resumes of qualified candidates. Our recruiting professionals will immediately respond to your staffing needs by matching your exact skill requirements with a candidate's in-depth profile. This is of course why Career Group is on the top of its field in customer satisfaction. They strive for the highest quality at all times from each of their employees, so you get the best service possible.

Amanda also let us know that even in this economy, there has been allot of activity, and not just from unemployed folks, activity from employers as well. So, if you are a company looking for help or an individual looking for work… give Amanda a call, and let her know you heard it from the PVP!
