Our Story
In the 1990's, when the Internet was exploding, Interlink Recruiting was one of the only recruiting firms at the forefront of the Internet revolution. It was hard to keep up with the demand for talented individuals needed by the myriad of new companies being formed.
eBay was demanding much of our time, and others had heard the success story. As we worked with all these incredible companies, not only were bodies in demand, but now new job descriptions were popping up with responsibilities that were not part of the pre-Internet world. The talent that existed had to be married to this new world of job descriptions.
It was a crazy time. But we understood the Internet, we understood what our clients were trying to achieve, and we eventually threw resumes out the window and instead began to understand the underlying talent of our candidates. Understanding their talents, and understanding our clients' needs, meant that we got the right person into the right company. One day, one of our clients blurted out "you guys are like Super Recruiters." and somehow the word got around, and the moniker was set.
We are proud to have been part of the Internet revolution then and on the vanguard of Web 2.0 and beyond today. Our industry is very exciting and constantly changing. We love being a part of it.
Our Philosophy
We believe in having a very close working relationship with our clients. We really do consider ourselves the "inside recruiter on the outside" because once we have agreed to help a company grow, we become part of that company. Finding the right talent to ensure success becomes our focus, not just making placements.
