“From my experience, Misura Group really puts in the extra time and effort to align the candidates with the right opportunities and companies. I had several other recruiters throw every job at me that came across their desk. They spend a lot time vetting both sides, making sure in the end its a success for both parties, as opposed to just getting that check. A lot of their competitors’ focus is to place somebody, get that check, and get past the guarantee period to check it off the list and go on to the next project. To me, this was more about the true effort of aligning the parties that would be the best fit.” --Placed Candidate, Building Materials Millwork Industry
