MISSION, HISTORY & VISION
OUR HISTORY

Over 20 Years of Industry-Leading Experience

Cogent Staffing Solutions was created in 2003 to be a clearly different and superior search firm, focused on total customer satisfaction. We set out to serve companies and job-seekers alike. We aimed to be an integral part of our clients' staffing plan and we strived to work hand-in-hand with job seekers to enable them to find the right opportunities.

In the time since, we have been able to realize that goal on our way to helping thousands of organizations and candidates throughout the country with our personalized service. As we look forward, our goal is to continue to grow, and help you grow, while maintaining our "boutique" appeal that our stakeholders currently enjoy.

THE MISSION

To Be of Service

Our overriding goal is to be of value to our clients. We want to do everything we can to assist in your growth – helping you hire the right people and saving you time and money. A company’s most valuable resource is its employees. Our purpose comes from facilitating the hiring of those special people who drive you to achieve your organizational objectives.

Outstanding, personalized customer service is imperative. We want each client to feel like our only client – that your business and your team are as important to us as they are to you. We aspire to be a resource to our community. Whether that means providing advice along your own personal career path, or working with your organization to help them identify the best talent solutions, we would like to be of service.

OUR VISION

To Rise Above

We emphasize quality where so many other search firms focus on volume. We are an extension of your company and we take that responsibility seriously. All searches are conducted with the utmost professionalism and confidentiality toward both the hiring company and potential job-seekers. We work very closely with both clients and candidates to understand their exact needs so that we are able to provide the best matches and ensure long-term success. Over the years, we have built a massive network

and have developed a wide range of proven recruiting methods that concentrate on identifying passive candidates – those exemplary potential employees who aren’t in the job market, but nevertheless are open to the ideal, properly presented opportunity. We couple that with our intensive individualized screening process to achieve the best possible fit. So much has changed during the time we have been in business, but our attention to total customer satisfaction and adding value at every step will remain a constant.

ROY T. President

I retained Cogent Staffing Solutions to help me hire accounting staff at my company and they did a great job. They identified candidates that were uniquely qualified - candidates that were not actively searching and who didn't have resumes posted on the job boards. They provided detailed, concise backgrounds on each of the candidates and managed the interviewing process efficiently. They were great with feedback and follow-up.

IVAN R. Director

I have known Andrew Kaufman (the Principal) for 16 years. He is one of the best resources a person or business could utilize. When I first met him, I was the CFO of a fast-growing business in Maryland. Andrew saved me by helping me hire 10 team members in my accounting department – all very high-quality individuals. Andrew is extremely professional and knowledgeable of both the industry and community. He always delivers.
