Our Success Stories
1st Fruits has been a real difference maker for Compass Knowledge Group. They’ve sought to understand our business right from the beginning and act as a partner in solving our staffing needs, rather than a vendor just trying to make a placement. We’re a fast growing intellectual capital business that needs great people to fuel our growth. 1st Fruits has been instrumental in enabling our success
-Vice President of Operations
I have been a student of individual and organizational commitment for as long as I can remember. Some of a very long list of things which I admire include personalized attention, Christian centered priorities, staying the course, steady respectful and candid advice, and realizing that going beyond what is actually committed is the best advertising for continued relationships. My belief is that Mike Calvin has made a personal commitment to excellence and to service. In today's cut-short, me-first world, that is not only refreshing, but in my humble opinion, an important success model
-President
In all my years of working with representatives from some of the leading staffing companies I feel great pleasure in being able to say that the people at 1st Fruits Consulting represent the highest standards of integrity and service. Their commitment to people and values makes them stand head and shoulders above the rest
-President and CEO
I have worked with many recruiters in the past and so far you have truly been the best!!
-VP of Auditing
I do very much appreciate the honest and ethics you have in doing your business. In today’s world—it is very easy to take shortcuts—and make even more $$--and it really means a lot to know that you are truly looking out for our best interests. I just wanted you to know I appreciate what you do.
-Director of Human Resource
Of all the recruiters I have dealt with, you were the most thorough, professional, and showed you really cared about my best interest during the entire process.
-Project Manager
