A New, Old School Way of Recruiting

We are on a mission to completely transform the recruiting industry. Not with fancy AI tools or automated systems, but by returning to what truly matters in recruitment – the human connection.

Here's what we're doing differently at Solid Rock Recruiting:

Creating Genuine Partnerships We build relationships with companies that are rooted in honesty, trust, and results. It's not about quick wins; it's about lasting partnerships that stand the test of time.

Understanding Deep Needs By taking the time to ask thoughtful questions and truly listen, we ensure we understand exactly what our clients need. This allows us to present candidates who aren't just qualified on paper – they're genuine fits for the role and company culture.

Respecting Everyone's Time We don't believe in throwing resumes at the wall to see what sticks. Our approach is deliberate and focused. If a candidate isn't the right fit, we won't waste anyone's time pretending they are.

The Lost Art of Phone Calls Yes, we actually pick up the phone and call hiring authorities to present candidates. In an age of endless emails and messaging apps, we believe in the power of voice-to-voice connection.

Beyond the Resume We provide hiring authorities with the information that matters – the details you won't find on a resume. These insights often make the difference between a good hire and a great one.

Candidate Care Our commitment to candidates goes beyond just placement: • We treat each candidate with genuine respect • We help navigate career aspirations • We provide coaching on interview best practices • We maintain strict confidentiality • We're honest – even when it's difficult

The Technology Balance There's nothing inherently wrong with using technology in recruiting. The problem arises when recruiters rely too heavily on tech tools and forget the fundamentals of good recruiting. Many have forgotten how to do the hard work, how to pick up a phone, how to be honest and ethical. They've lost that crucial "human touch."

We're not trying to be the biggest operation or claim we're going to single-handedly fix the recruiting industry. That's not our goal. What we can control is being the kind of recruiting partner that companies and candidates can trust and rely on - and the kind recruiters want to work for! 

Our Promise If we can help you, we'll do our best. If we can't help you, we'll tell you straight up. It's that simple.

Whether you're seeking qualified talent for your organization or looking for your next career opportunity in construction, legal, or public accounting, we're here to help – the old school way, with new school results.
