With the number of resumes on the job boards today, isn't this a valid question? Actually this comment reflects a common misconception about the role of specialized recruiting firms, and the depth and value of the services we provide.

If you think about the time and cost associated with sifting through hundreds of resumes, you realize the benefit of calling us. Who is the best qualified candidate? Do they have the skills they say they do? Are they available? When can they come in for an interview? And what do their references say about them? Sourcing candidates is the tip of the iceberg, so to speak.

The Joulé process goes much deeper than simply providing a resume. It includes:

• Screening
• Assessment
• Interviewing
• Reference Checking
• Drug & Background Checks

Once you've made a selection, Joulé sells the position to the candidate, highlighting the advantages of working at your company. We provide safety training where appropriate and assist with the on-boarding process, getting the employee up and running quickly. Finally, we make a regular quality to check to ensure the person is a good fit and performing well, and give the employee coaching and feedback.
