So, no matter what has been the request, direct reports or temporary support, they have been able to provide the best candidate in a very short period of time.

Fortunately, they have made one of the most difficult challenges, hiring new employees, a very simple one. While attempting to fill the first position I worked with several recruiting agencies. Unfortunately, I often times felt they were submitting any resume they could find. However, Ascendo Resources dedicated time to get to know me, my expectations, as well as their candidates. This is what I feels makes them a brilliant staffing agency. "

This is the experience I consistently have with Ascendo Resources. They are a trusted external business partner that works tirelessly to deliver great results. I consider them an extension of our staff and an invaluable member of the team."
