A New Approach to Boston Recruiting

Relationship-driven Staffing for Lasting Partnerships
Hollister’s client partnerships are anything but transactional. Since 1988, our Recruiting Agency has operated on the belief that building deep and lasting client relationships is key to our continued success. Before we refer candidates to you, we analyze your business structure, experience your internal culture, and take note of the nuances that make your organization truly unique. With all of this in mind, we compose an exclusive, in-depth guidebook designed to inform each candidate about who you are and what you look for your employees. Because we take the time to get to know your company’s key players and leading values, we are able to send the best-suited professionals to every interview, every time. Using this strategy, we continue to develop and maintain our strong client base and impressive referral network.
Holistic Account Management for Efficient Recruiting Solutions
Our Recruiting Agency is built to mirror you. Unlike other Boston Recruiting Firms, Hollister’s holistic account management style ensures that we can provide you with a wide range of Recruiting Solutions across our specialty areas. Our Boston Recruiters have an average of seven years of staffing experience and many boast prior expertise in the Accounting & Finance, Administrative, Creative & Marketing, Human Resources, and Technology fields, allowing our team to identify the most qualified candidates for any role your company requires.
Innovative Recruiting Methods for Matching Qualified Candidates
Hollister Employment Recruiters combine proven staffing methods with new and unconventional strategies for sourcing and evaluating New England’s top talent. While each of our Boston Recruiters has a unique approach to recruitment, all of our staffing specialists employ the following techniques:

• Behavioral Event InterviewingOver the years, thousands of books have sold candidates on the idea of outwitting interviewers with prepackaged responses. At Hollister, our Placement Consultants get beyond over rehearsed answers by using behavioral event interviewing techniques. Developed in the 1970s by industrial psychologists, behavioral event interview questions are designed to delve into specific past actions and experiences that can accurately predict future job performance. Using this method, our Boston Recruiters see through to skills that do not come through on paper, revealing the personal qualities that make a candidate the perfect fit for your organization.


• Recruiting 2.0 Our Boston Recruiters leverage Web 2.0 resources to identify ideal job candidates for you. Developed in partnership with leading communications agency, 451 Marketing, the Recruiting 2.0 strategy is an innovative model employed exclusively at Hollister. We created and now moderate a strong network of online communities for Boston professionals. Our forums are designed to attract passive candidates who do not frequent popular job board Web sites. We refer to these online communities as “passive job boards” because they allow us to position opportunities in front of an otherwise unreachable audience. Through Twitter handles, Facebook fan pages, LinkedIn, and blogs our recruiters are able to reach top talent where other Boston Recruiting Firms simply are not.
