Quality and Qualified Applicant Pools
focusEDU understands the qualities, skills and attributes that it takes. Our first step is to know you and your institutional culture and environment. We personally contact candidates who may never have given a thought to applying for your position. We know who these people are – we have them in our “contacts” on our Android and iPhones!
Our searches are ethical and confidential. We advise the hiring officer of the best practices we use during this process, but the hiring officer makes all final determinations for salary and working conditions. This ensures the client institutions that we represent their interests in the fairest and most equitable manner. Our clients are our source of quality validation.
