"In speaking of the pros and cons of partnering with Golden Technology, it is difficult to produce anything on the wrong side of the ledger. Our experience with Golden has been a true win/win partnership. The team that we work with has come to understand our business as well as our challenges and opportunities so that when we express a need for one or more resources there is a very good chance that the person that they will end up referring for consideration will be solid fit from both a skillset and a culture perspective.

We have had great success with the temp to placement strategy. It gives us a finite term (3, 6, 9 months, etc.) from which we can make a solid assessment of the individual and allow us to make a better hiring decision vs. new employee sourcing (which provides no on the job assessment period). This is a great benefit not only for Hogan but also for the perspective employee. There is always a ramp up to learn systems, interface with the proper stakeholders, navigate through short- and long-term objectives. Putting someone through all of that while they are providing valuable technical support on a temporary basis really jump starts the long-term solution process.

We have filled some very key positions over the last 12-18 months working through Golden. They have fine-tuned their approach to servicing our account based on lessons learned through that period. They have become a trusted partner to Hogan and have both supplemented our short-term technical needs as well as been the source for eventual successful hires that will be valuable contributors to Hogan for the long term."
