As an employer, translating your business requirements into a single job description is a nearly impossible task. We eliminate that headache by taking time to listen to your needs and understand what your next hire must bring to the table to fill those gaps.

As a job-seeker, working with recruiters who don’t understand you and your potential is discouraging. TSG was created by staffing professionals who were fed-up with the agony of finding the next opportunity and wanted to redesign the process to benefit both the candidate and the employer. We eliminate the frustration by getting to know you, not just your resume. We work hard on your behalf, always delivering open and honest communication.

Finding talent and the right opportunity takes an enormous amount of time…time you don’t have. We take time to understand your business requirements and culture, as well as investing time in understanding every job seeker’s skills, career goals and personality, to make smart and successful matches. The TSG team believes that investing our time leads to optimal outcomes for all parties, our 99% client retention rate speaks to that effect. TSG sets candidates and clients up for success. We develop long-term relationships with both parties, with the goal of finding permanent talent solutions.
