Who We Are…

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”.

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.

They are results oriented, and are often challenged to:

• increase organizational growth

And they understand that the solution to these challenges can be found in hiring the right managers and staff.

You will be successful working with us if you:

• have long-term vision, and truly want to improve and grow your business

• are unwilling to compromise on candidate quality
