What Sets Us Apart
Hi,
I am Patrick Metcalf, CEO of Ascend Career Services, and I’d like to take a moment to explain why we are very different from other recruiting firms.
- I understand the challenges your organization faces because I’ve been there myself. My background is not in HR or Recruiting. My master’s degree is in Public Administration, and before I started a recruiting business, I spent most of my 26 years in the human services field overseeing behavioral health programs in half a dozen different states.
- Our team is small and highly specialized. We fill Behavioral Health and ABA clinical roles, and our primary focus is recruiting for Behavioral Analysts and Mental Health Therapists.
- We leverage technology and employ highly advanced techniques to complete an extremely thorough candidate sourcing process as the starting point for our recruiting campaigns. Additionally, we have a large network of candidates to pull from in our specialized niche.
- Our primary service is recruiting, but we also can assist with employee retention challenges. I spent my entire career learning how to maximize retention to avoid the difficult work of replacing employees. It is always cheaper, easier, and better for organizational stability to keep the talented professionals that you already have.
- We can’t take every client because our capacity is limited, and as always, some partnerships are better fits than others. But I assure you, if we work together, you will experience and benefit from the high level of expertise and professionalism that my team brings to the table.
I am always happy to make time to talk, hear about the challenges you are facing, and assess whether we can make a material impact on some of your organization’s most pressing problems.
Best wishes,
Patrick
