Respect for everyone

Everyone in a search is treated with respect, hired or not.

One franchise client, seven states, California to Kentucky. They kept sending her openings because the relationship held, not because she was the closest recruiter.

Reviews

In their own words

Recommendations from hiring managers, HR leaders and colleagues Renee has worked with since 2008.

“I worked with Renee for about a year. She helped our metal fabrication company find some extremely qualified machine operators and rare skill set type of positions. We were able to bring on many experienced press brake operators which was a great need at the time, and even some tool and die makers which is not an easy skill-set to come by! She is very professional and was always quick to communicate with me and send me candidates any time I needed her services. She has always stood by her work and I would highly recommend her if you are in need of finding experienced candidates for your company from a slightly different job pull than what you may be currently using. Thank you, Renee! It has been a great pleasure working with you!”

“Renee provides a valuable service by researching and finding good job candidates to evaluate for placement. Renee is diligent, listens well to our needs, and adjusted her search criteria accordingly. Renee's value proposition to offer a reasonable flat fee for services is quite appealing and distinguishes her from most other professionals in her field.”

Vice President at HICAPS

“I have been working with Renee Lindley from Manpower for about three months now and in that time have hired three people that Renee and Manpower have found and presented to me.

Renee is quick to respond and quick to offer what I, as the client desire. I often ask for resumes to be sent over to me within a matter of a few days and thereafter I request immediate turn around to see the candidates which Renee has been able to produce for me each time.

Renee has not only been able to capture the tangible skill set that is required in the staff I hire, but also the intangible personality fit which is often times equally as important and definitely more challenging.

I have been quite pleased with the candidates that Renee and Manpower have presented to me and am quite happy with the three positions I have filled.

If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact me.”
