Presenting the Candidates
Unlike other firms, we are not resume brokers-nor do we function as a volume agency. We would rather sacrifice a placement opportunity than send unqualified or inappropriate candidates. Once we receive the job description we will begin our process of finding the best suitable candidates for your consideration. Your Dawson & Dawson, Inc. Representative will present our top 10% of resumes to review. After interviewing your choice of candidates, we are confident you will agree to make an offer of employment.
Final Selection/Offer and Negotiation
Once a hiring decision is made Dawson & Dawson, Inc. will extend the offer of employment to the candidate. Expectations such as dress code, hours, wage, length of assignment, and other details specific to your company are documented in our Start Summary Contract. Unique to Dawson & Dawson, Inc., the Start Summary Contract sets employment expectations to facilitate a smooth on-boarding process for the future employee.
Quality Calls
Our job doesn’t end at the placement. We are there through the on-boarding process and beyond. Fundamental to our quality customer service is an open line of communications. To make sure everyone is completely satisfied we make regular calls to check in.
