The local job market continues to heat up.  We're conducting more searches than ever, and not just in HR.  People are often surprised to find that most of our search work is not HR related (there is more to Staffing Advisors than you read in this newsletter - we've just hired our 14th employee).

 

You can see all our current searches listed here, or if you prefer, you can also keep up with us on Facebook and Twitter.

 

All the best,
