2. Who We Are…
Formally we are known as third-party recruiters, but we are actually business improvement agents.
We consistently help our clients grow their business by helping them find and hire the right people.
Established in 1997, CAES Career Advancement Employment Services Inc. has evolved
as an organization, in function as well as philosophy. It is very gratifying to witness the
positive impact that we have had in the growth and development of our client
organizations.
Our ability to truly understand our client requirements, to find and evaluate ‘best fit’
candidates, and to complete their projects with both quality and timeliness definitely
distinguishes us from the typical search and placement organization”.

5. Client Overview
Your success depends on the capabilities of your managers and staff,
and their ability to achieve the results that you require.
Too often you risk hiring the wrong people
because you do not have the time or the recruitment experience
to find and assess the people that could make a difference.
Settling for whomever happens to be available,
and hiring the wrong person can be very costly.
You will need to use a quality based recruitment approach
if you want to consistently identify, hire and retain talented people
who are right for you and your company.
CAES will find talented people who will get the results that you need.
