According to Forbes, “The job market today is nearly unrecognizable from its form three months ago. The economic fallout of the coronavirus pandemic has left more than 40 million Americans unemployed and countless companies reducing staff and freezing hiring in an attempt to cut costs. For organizations looking to hire, who to choose has never been a more pressing question. That’s where recruitment agencies come in. But who can companies trust?

Forbes partnered with market research company Statista to determine just that with our annual ranking of America’s best professional recruiting firms” — the top 250 professional search firms list can be found at: https://www.forbes.com/best-professional-recruiting-firms/#90c769120b24

Huge congratulations to ASAP Talent Services and the entire team for being selected by Forbes for the 3rd consecutive year as One of America’s Top Executive Search Firms that also help with self-employment options. Only 1% of over 22,500 search firms were selected so this is truly an honor to be recognized as a firm among the best of the very best.

The trusted team at ASAP Talent Services includes co-founder Erek Gerth and extremely tenured recruiters such as Polly Meadows and Jennifer Hall among others. The average tenure on the ASAP Team is well over 15+ years in IT/SAP Recruitment.

So what sets ASAP Talent Services apart from the competition?
