Local Company, Arrow Strategies, Is Chosen Out Of 101 West Michigan Companies As Shining Example In Recruitment And Selection
May 7, 2009 – Grand Rapids, Michigan – Arrow Strategies is proud to have earned the distinction of being called one of “West Michigan’s 101 Best and Brightest Companies to Work For,” and is excited to announce that they were recognized as an Elite Winner in the category of Recruitment and Selection.
Each year, hundreds of companies vie for the right to be called a Best and Brightest company based on their ability to execute exceptional human resources practices. Arrow Strategies (http://www.arrowstrategies.com) has a history of being named a 101 Best and Brightest Company in other markets, but this is the first time they have been recognized in West Michigan.
Out of the 101 companies chosen as a Best and Brightest company, Arrow Strategies’ best practices and high standards in Recruitment and Selection were highlighted. Eleven (11) Elite Winners were selected based on overall scores and were named an Elite Winner in their highest performing category. Arrow Strategies’ innovative approach to recruitment strategies earned them this Elite status.
“As a full service staffing firm, we’ve made it our business to rise above the rest when it comes to choosing the right person for the job,” says Arrow Strategies President, Jeff Styers. “It is our attention to the little details that differentiate our ability to recruit the top talent that our clients seek.” In addition to a stringent 10-step screening process, the award winning recruiting team works to match the skill set of a candidate and position while also working to identify and match the intangibles that make a rewarding engagement for both parties. “Our recruiters work hand in hand with existing employees at our clients to make sure that the prospective employee’s soft skills and expectations will allow them to assimilate easily into the corporate culture,” says Styers.
To augment their recruiting program, the Arrow Strategies team developed a program called Agents for Life that immerses prospective employees into the Arrow Strategies’ culture from the very first conversation. Candidates immediately learn about company values and are invited to take part in activities related to professional development, community involvement, and networking before they even talk about a specific position. As the candidate’s Agent, Arrow Strategies helps to define career paths that meet career goals. “It is programs like Agents for Life that give us our edge and allow us to build our network through referrals,” says Matt Migliaccio, Arrow Strategies Branch Manager for West Michigan.

Headquartered in Bingham Farms, Michigan, they also have branch offices in Grand Rapids, Chicago and Hartford. These offices support the business which is conducted in thirteen (13) different states.
