Contingency Recruiting Firm

The Columbus Group LLC is a contingency recruiting firm who upon your request will devote 100% of their time to filling your important positions. One significant point of interest for you is that we have our candidates sign sincerity agreements to not waste your valuable time or use your employment offer as a leverage with their current employer to possibly get a counter-offer.
