Overview:
The Ascher Group is a human resources contract staffing firm, which is widely recognized as an industry expert in workforce and job market trends. Its roots reach back to 1981 when it was founded as an executive search company. Since then, Susan Ascher, the founder, president and CEO has successfully transformed The Ascher Group to meet the ever-growing need in today's business climate for human resources professionals on an interim basis. With clients ranging from Fortune 500 to emerging growth companies, The Ascher Group is the premier provider of HR contract professionals.
Clients and Candidates:
The Ascher Group's clients are both large and small companies. What they have in common is the need to have top-notched professionals ready to provide immediate professional services for their company when the need arises. The services provided by The Ascher Group afford them access to world-class HR professionals, quickly and without the constraints associated with full time employment.
Candidates recruited by The Ascher Group to staff these contract HR employment needs are as varied as the client base. From displaced workers, to mothers returning to the workforce, to the ever-growing senior population, contract employment offers candidates job flexibility not available in a full-time position. According to Susan Ascher, "They are much more in charge of their own destiny."
More than ninety-percent of clients and candidates alike are repeat customers of The Ascher Group.
