We are committed to building a world class organization and to relentlessly pursuing top talent for our clients in most industries and functions around the world," Johnston continued , "Our techniques and marketing approach, reflected in the launch of a worldwide branding strategy, are built on leveraging industry specific relationships and identification of the top passive candidates. During the last 12 months, we have eliminated 24 underperforming offices and anticipate a further reduction as we continue to refine our offering and raise the bar for participation in our organization."
"The unemployment rate for our target candidates is just 4.3%. Our goal for 2012 is to capitalize on this market for high quality, high impact candidates. The emphasis on growth and job creation will escalate the needs for our services and also fuel the acquisition of new franchise owners."
