| - I first worked through Govig 7 years ago... I was uncertain what I wanted (beyond a job, asap), and I sent my resume in to Govig. Barbara Burns called me, interviewed me, and found me some short term temp employment and then a longer term admin position that was perfect. Then, I shattered my ankle, couldn't work and went to college instead. When that ended, I called Barbara back up, once again wanting a job ASAP. She had a temporary job for me two days later, while she set me up on interviews for more fitting longer-term opportunities.
Then I met Brad Francis, another recruiter there, who had some potential opportunities. Wow, he is a great guy too, and I was shocked that people in a commission-driven industry like recruiting worked together so seamlessly! That's when I realized that they have more than a paycheck in mind - they value their reputation for service to both candidates and companies above all else. My second interview landed me a job that I loved. It was a temporary, 3-month position that ended up being over a year and a half before my manager was forced to let me go due to budgeting issues.
Before that time, Brad called me up and said "Do you have any free time?" He had another part-time position come in that matched my skill set, and though I was already working, thought I might consider extra hours. He was very respectful, ran it through my current boss, me, and my potential new boss, clarified and explained, and everyone decided to give it a shot. I interviewed, and took the position. When I was 'laid off' on a Friday, my second position offered me full hours the following Monday. Talk about perfect, all because Brad saw something, thought of me, and even though it wasn't the most simple, took time with all parties to make it happen. I'm still at that second job, and I still love it.
Govig and Associates has always gotten me perfect jobs, too. They have many levels of positions! When I was younger, Barbara found me entry-level admin jobs that suited me well. Now that I have more of a particular skill set, Brad and Barbara have found me two jobs that I could not have been happier with! It's not just finding you A job, for them, either. They want to make sure that you fit the job, and the job fits you... not throw you into anything.
Every experience I've had with Govig has been so much higher than my expectations! Brad and Barbara are two GREAT people. They know who I am when I call, truly have integrity, and really strive to be a win-win for both companies and individuals. I once could never understand why a company would pay a premium for an employee, especially in times like these. After working with them, I do... they are the best at what they do, and can quickly and easily connect people with jobs, and companies with truly qualified talent!
If I'm ever in need of a job again, I know they'll probably be my ONLY call! Thank you, Brad, Barbara, and the entire Govig team!
