Who we are and what we are about!

  became a reality in the Spring of 1996.

The US Recruiters Network (USRN) is a service bureau dedicated to serve independent recruiters nationwide.

USRN is not run by a profit seeking team of investors or a pseudo association.*

USRN is more than a service bureau.

USRN is a network of recruiters (subscribers) working together to make placements and improve their odds of success. And, at the same time we are building a network of peers who are willing to lend a hand or a moment to listen to fellow recruiter.

The primary directive of the network is to "treat others as we would want them to treat us." During the evaluation stage of becoming a member, prospective members who violate this basic principle are not invited to join our organization. And, existing members who violate this principle are weeded out of our organization.

In building our network, USRN has harnessed The Power of Network into a working tool. For example, The US-Recruiters Network has a service that is not offered by any local, regional or national networks.. That service is the ability to ask a question to the membership and get nearly instant feedback. Click here to see how it works.

The core group of USRN has one common thread. The common thread is that they all worked, prior to going out on their own, as recruiters, corporate managers and or as franchisees for a large Cleveland based national recruiting firm.

A prudent investor would not invest in a merging technology company without knowing something about the CEO. If you agree, you might want to click on this link to find out something about the founder of The US-Recruiters Network of Recruiters.
