The First Recruitment Firm We Call

“When I have job opening to fill—regardless of the position, I always think of Banner Associates first.  The reason is simple.  There is no other recruitment firm that understands our culture and expectations better.

Our professional relationship has spanned many years; over that time they have worked hard at identifying candidates who have Akridge potential.  When they find someone who fits, they don’t hesitate to contact me and make a point of bringing good people to my attention.

My recruitment job is easier, confident I have a firm to deal with that understands and appreciates our corporate culture and dynamic and helps streamline the hiring process.  Simply put, they don’t waste my time.  They are always responsive, available for consultation, and more than a pleasure with which to work.”

Banner Listens and Gets it Right

"N.A.D.A. needed a senior executive to overhaul a very important department.  Banner Associates’ managers listened and learned about our culture and businesses; then they asked the right questions and grasped the skill sets and type of person we needed.  The Banner team quickly identified and presented three people who met our needs.  We hired one of them, and she has been with us ever since.  With Banner Associates, N.A.D.A. got the right person."

Our HR Lifeline

“‘Our Human Resources Lifeline’ says it all. The ‘human’ relates to Banner’s most capable team, who are true professionals and industry leaders. They are down-to-earth, focused, and most concerned that both the candidate and the client make the right selection. They have never been one to ‘just fill the need’; rather, they make lasting matches. Their ‘resources’ come naturally; with their strong and successful backgrounds, they can immediately relate to a company’s need in recruitment.  This makes them able to select the candidate that matches not only the position but the company’s culture to make the perfect ‘mutual fit.’ This is VERY important to them. A ‘lifeline’ needs to be timely to be effective, and the Banner Associates team members move like lightening. They arrived at our first exploratory meeting with resumes of very qualified candidates in hand. My partners and I are totally ‘sold!’”

Exceptional Recruiting Results

“Generally in life, notice is taken when things go poorly.  I want to make certain to take notice when things go well.  I find that my standards of performance, when compared to those of most others, are fairly high.  For that reason, I am often disappointed.  Happily, that’s not the case when it comes to Banner Associates’ performance in providing recruitment services— and expert HR advice, too.  Since partnering with them in 2004, I can honestly say our company’s human resources situation in the best condition in our 30-year history; and, I am never concerned about filling an employment vacancy with an ideal replacement.  Thank you for a job well done!”
