Success Stories
Discover what it's like to work with us.
I had never worked with an employment agency. During the interview, I immediately felt as if my recruiter was working to understand me and what I was looking for in a future position. I quickly realized that my decision to apply with Gage was the best decision I could make in terms of my professional life. Working with Gage presented opportunities that I never would have known about as I now understand that many employers only hire through employment agencies such as this. I don’t think I could have found a better team of people to help me find my place in the working-world!
Gage was available to help develop the search process, share excellent screening tools and most important, lend wisdom and insights as we determined who would be the best fit for the position. I feel blessed to have worked with the leadership team on this important organizational decision.
Your whole team has been a pleasure to work with, and we are looking forward to the next opportunity to partner together. You’ve made the process seamless and simple, and you will be our first call when we have another job opening to fill.
Thank you and your team for helping our small business find so many great candidates, and ultimately the perfect person for our customer service position. We’ve tried in the past to hire people on our own, but never had any success. We were treated with the same consideration as if we were a large corporation. It was an absolute pleasure working with you!
The Gage team worked hard to get to know us as a business and understand our business needs. They were receptive to any changes and adaptable to our fast-paced growth. The team at Gage provided timely and creative workforce and recruiting consulting services. They worked closely with our teams locally and nationally to ensure our recruitment and retention efforts were in line with our growing business needs. Gage’s onsite and remote support allowed them to be a true extension of our HR and operations team.
