01 Jun in Announcements, News | Comments (0)Recommendation on LinkedIn
Last week we set up our profiles and company page on LinkedIn, and were feeling very pleased with ourselves! We are feeling even more pleased when we came in this morning to this lovely recommendation from Elizabeth Wilkinson. Thank you to Elizabeth, what a great way for us to start the week.
“I can only highly recommend Paragons as a local employment agency! This is true both for those looking for temporary resource and those looking for temporary employment. The Agency does its utmost to match the right person according to their capabilities for the job that is suitable for them. They interview candidates and clearly identify their strengths, limitations and aspirations. These are compared to the requirements of the temporary employment and applied and monitored accordingly. In my experience, every company I worked for was more than satisfied at the result. Having gone through a time of redundancy, I found Paragons to be excellent in finding me temporary employment that not only matched my needs but gave me satisfactory work to see me through that period. Every assignment I was given was carefully selected to address my competencies and ensure that, although temporary, was interesting and, for a short-term assignment, challenging. Moreover, the Agency was exemplary in keeping me informed on a regular basis of any opportunities that might be on the horizon. I would have no doubt at all in recommending Paragons for those seeking part-time or contractual assignments. From an employer’s point of view, I know that my assistance at every assignment I was allocated was very well received. This is as much due to Paragon’s matching ability and character assessment as to my fulfillment of the roles. I would strongly recommend Paragons for any temporary or long-term employment roles. They look after their customers and employees with personal and professional care. Elizabeth Wilkinson” May 26, 2010
