Outside assistance with the recruiting process frees managers to focus on their professional roles within an organization. Just ask the librarians and managers at the Georgia Tech Library and Information Center.

For a number of years they have relied on The Dalley Hewitt Company to interview, screen and recommend the best candidates for positions including Assistant Directors, Communications Librarian, Director of Development, Reference Librarians and Catalogers.

By building a strong partnership with the client, The Dalley Hewitt Company understands the library's climate and culture and can quickly identify candidates with the competencies and professional fit for the environment.

Consequently, the library can hit the ground running with candidates when they arrive on campus, knowing in advance their professional manner and style, strengths, goals and areas for further questioning. There are no surprises.

Relationships with candidates evolve quickly, resulting in bright, suitable new hires who know how to work as a team and bring out the strengths in each other. They have become long term, contributing employees of Georgia Tech.

Everyone in the recruiting process is now more efficient and effective with clearly defined roles and expectations. The Dalley Hewitt Company's ability to screen and recommend the best candidates backed up by reliable reference checks enables the library to reduce its time and costs for recruiting.

"You have saved the library huge amounts of time and money and consistently provided us with an outstanding group of candidates," said Miriam Drake, director of the Georgia Tech Library and Information Center.
