Building relationships that last long beyond the hire
Cream City Recruiters is a Milwaukee placement firm working from 250 E Wisconsin Ave #1800. Putting the right people in the right places since 1988, with one test for every search: does the person still love the seat a long time after the offer letter?
Monnie Holmes is the recruiter clients and candidates name when they talk about the firm. What they describe is listening first, then a short list of people who fit.
“At Cream City Recruiters, LLC, we focus on the clients and their needs. It is through our commitment to matching the specific needs of each of our clients that we've found enduring success.”
At least495still in place
“The record we are most proud of is that at least 495 recruits, over the span of 23 years, are still in place today with the firms or companies they were originally placed with.”
That is the firm’s own sentence, and it is the measure the firm holds itself to. Any firm can place a person. The ones that count are still there years later.
Principles that held through rapid change
Hiring tools have changed a great deal over the firm’s career. What it stands on has not.
Through a career that has seen rapid technological change, the firm has kept its guiding principles as a constant bedrock. Its commitment runs to both the candidate and the employer, and that is what makes the result cost effective.
The reasoning is plain. Candidates with long tenures save time, money and stress. Every early exit means another posting, another round of interviews and another stretch of an empty desk. A search matched well the first time avoids all of it.
It is likely for a placement to last for a generation, growing from an entry level job to a senior member of the firm. That is the kind of match the office works toward on every search, from legal recruiting to the front desk.
Cream City’s reputation as a firm that matches well carries an added benefit: cost and time savings for the employer who hires through it.
Before a name reaches you
- Pre-screening and testing
- Only the top candidates who possess the necessary skills and experience are sent over. The firm knows what to ask and how to elicit meaningful responses.
- Thorough referencing
- References are checked before a candidate is put in front of an employer.
- 60 and 90 Day Guarantees
- A guarantee stands behind the placement. Ask which one applies to your search.
Placement comes three ways: temporary, temp-to-hire and permanent, with the emphasis on permanent. The full list of roles and services shows where each fits.
The recruiter people name
Ask clients and candidates about the firm and the answer keeps coming back to Monnie Holmes. These are their words, taken from Google.
“She listens and genuinely hears the people she works with.”
“Monnie placed me at two different positions during my work with lawyers, both long years of employment and both great places to work and grow.”
“Monnie Holmes has always been professional with her recruiting business. I was referred to her for legal positions and acquired an internship in law. With this experience, I eventually secured a permanent position on my own at a major law firm.”
There is more where those came from. Read every testimonial.
