Finding the Right Talent - Hiring Process Management

More than five years ago, HR Knowledge quietly built a specialized recruitment service driven by our clients' requests to help them find the right talent. Last month, we officially launched this service as Hiring Process Management™ (HPM).

 

We received such a positive response and a great deal of inquiries and wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you for your service!


 
We have an employee whose Form I-9 was not fully completed when the employee was hired. If we fill out the Reverification section on an incomplete form, will that bring us into compliance?
 

 

If you or someone you know is seeking employment then you're in the right place! HR Knowledge not only is seeking qualified and talented people to join our staff but also for our clients. Please view our current job openings below!

 

HR Knowledge and Our Clients are hiring!
