Elsner H.R. Named to Forbes “Best Professional Recruiting Firms” List

I’m excited to announce that Elsner H.R. has been named to the Forbes “America’s Best Recruiting Firms” list in the best professional recruiting firm category which they defined as specializing in permanent placement of professional and specialist positions up to $100,000 income per year.

Elsner H.R. placed #154 on the 250-firm ranking, which was selected from more than 14,500 total nominations across the U.S. (You can view the full list at this link.)

Of the three locally owned Arizona-based firms named to the list, we’re the only one that is woman-owned, as well as being the only one that specializes in placing human resources professionals.

How the survey was conducted.

The scoring methodology for “America’s Best Recruiting Firms” included each firm’s number of nominations and recommendations as well as the assessment in the various evaluation areas across the groups of participants. Recommendations and evaluations from the 2017 were also considered (with a lower weighting) to accommodate the consistently high reputation of a recruiting firm’s work.

Data was collected by Statista for Forbes via surveys from about 6,500 respondents, including job candidates, HR managers, and external recruiters. Candidate respondents were asked to rate recruiting firms based on quality of process, communication, and selection of offered positions. In addition to those categories, HR managers were also asked about aspects such how well candidates understood and fit company culture and the price-performance ratio for services. Finally, recruiters were asked to recommend recruiting firms for which they would not be able to provide a service or industry focus themselves. (Self-recommendations were not considered.) The surveys were conducted between December 2017 and February 2018.

Thank you to the individuals and companies that nominated us and helped us earn this honor. Your support means a great deal, and we’ll continue to work hard to connect top-notch human resources talent with fantastic employers in the years ahead!
