Recruiting Emphasis

Andrew Associates, headquartered in Oregon, excels in domestic and international searches for executive management; with emphasis on recruiting CIO to Director-level leaders of Information Technology.

We search out the excellent candidates for our clients, the experts considered the best by their peers, not just the best available. We speak with people who know excellent prospects (who are likely not looking for a new job), then we convince those qualified (many times passive) prospects to consider moving to our client's position.

Confidentiality

We treat information about our client companies with the same respect  for confidentiality as that of our own firm.   

                             

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For candidates, Andrew Associates will never send a resume to a company without first receiving permission from the individual.
