Our Practices


As a privately held boutique firm, we have the flexibility to design custom recruiting packages tailored to meet clients' needs. Examples include:

  • Contingent or retained searches for specific key technical or management roles with highly defined parameters and sources.
  • Large volume projects with tight deadlines where urgency exists to staff an entire team with a variety of positions and levels.
  • Contract to permanent hire arrangements, where a candidate may join the client as a contractor and be offered permanent employment.
  • Outsourced staffing arrangements where candidates are offered long term, full time contracts.
  • Contract recruiting projects where a Harmer Associate works on-site at a client to assist with temporary staffing needs.
