About ATRA Pacific
Our Mission
ATRA Pacific’s goal is to provide excellent customer service to all our clients, if we fail to do that, then we fail as a business. Client relationships are core to the success of a recruiting business, but we don’t just count on our clients as a source of our success, we also count on the candidates and the service we provide to them. They are our future business, so we treat and work with everyone with the same highest level of service.
“This business is not just doing deals; this business is about having great product knowledge, providing the best people, and providing tremendous service to my customers.”
Credentials
As the founder of the company and the lead for all recruiting activities, my experience encompasses 28 years of global level experience. This experience includes (Corporate, Contract, Military and Agency recruiting activities). I have worked directly as an employee,
(recruiter and recruiting leader), for many years and also as an on-site contractor in the industries I recruit for. ATRA Pacific's credentials are superior because of the experience obtained working directly with industry as described, I know that type of business, why those roles are important, and I know the process companies want to follow.
What Makes ATRA Pacific Unique
Yes, there are many-many recruiting agencies out there, how do you know if they are any good. Many are sub-par at best. I know because I have worked with many of those recruiters when I ran recruiting for companies. Some of these recruiting firms will attempt to hire/present individuals with little or no industry knowledge and will do anything for the hire, (cut corners, disrupt process, or just fail by not honoring their commitment). We at “ATRA Pacific” know how the process works, we don’t cut corners, we pride ourselves by a standard of conduct. We are the arm and face of our clients. We work for the client, ensure positive branding exists. We make sure our process mirrors your process, that is why we consider ourselves
“The Best From All The Rest".
