The Offering – What’s in it for our clients?

Epoch provides a unique approach unlike your typical staffing firms; we use the same internal vetting process with each candidate that we submit to our client. This helps determine the candidates’ competency and technical quality prior to putting them through your company’s internal process.

With staff augmentation, we take all of the liability, the tax burden, workers compensation, payroll, insurance, etc. You (the client) get a burden free employee.

Direct and passive recruiting.

Cold calling is the most effective method of recruiting because we have a story to tell after taking a complete job order. We will make up to 1,000 calls on your behalf to identify the right candidate (again, saving time and money).

We use electronic and social media to promote your offer including job boards, social media sites (LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Google Plus, etc) and our own website.

Screening resumes - this saves you time, money and overhead.

We have the ability to manage the entire HR process for you or become an extension to your current team.

Resources - We have the resources and the staff to take the majority of the hiring process off of your plate so you can focus on priority items.

The Offering Continued

The EPOCH Difference - We take a strategic and analytical approach with your search so that we identify candidates that you can't pass up interviewing. It's not about the size of a database, it's about the quality of our process.

We will build a profile of the ideal candidate from which to screen candidates off of. These templates will be standardized on our letterhead.

We can also consult with you on industry compensation standards.

We will examine direct and indirect competitors and any other companies that employ candidates possessing the skills you are requiring. We will also identify any target companies that you would like to hire from. We can start there first.

We will work you on negotiating a package that is a win for both parties.

We will consult with the candidates regarding counter offers and resignation letters.
