5 Reasons to Hire IQ PARTNERS
We don’t just scour social media. Our network and credibility brings you the best people in the market not just the best people on the market.
20 years in the world of logistics, transportation and manufacturing means top candidates take our calls. 97.1% of candidates and clients rate our industry knowledge as ‘Above Average’ or ‘Outstanding’.
Hiring good technical people means finding people with specific skill sets and backgrounds. Someone who specializes in medical device QA is unlikely to succeed in the same role for a candy maker. We have the industry experience to know exactly who you’re looking for.
Our clients also have access to our recruitment teams with different disciplines like marketing and sales and enjoy the benefits of ‘one-stop-shopping’ while working with a recruitment partner who they already know and trust.
81% of our clients are repeat customers.
We deliver not just the best people on the market but the best people in the market.
Good operations people are hard to reach because they’re busy putting out fires and less likely to use social media.
That’s why you need recruiters who concentrate exclusively on hiring operations, supply chain experts, distribution leaders and others in similar mid-level and executive operational roles.
