I’m having a hard time locating a recruiter in the boston area and i was wondering if anyone had any recommendations? Thanks!

Hi Paul,

I work as a recruiter for a Boston based staffing agency, Hollister Staffing (www.hollisterstaff.com). I don’t know what type of job you are looking for, but I’m sure I could be of some help to you. Feel free to shoot me an email.

Thanks,
Lori
