THE INSIDER'S NETWORK When you register with us, we plug you into an existing network of companies that don't always post to job boards. You will have access to unique opportunities throughout the greater Los Angeles area - opportunities you won't find on your own.

THANK YOU FOR CALLING We've picked up that old book on customer service, dusted it off, and put it back into practice. How many times have you left a message and never heard back? How many recruiting firms have you sent your resume to who haven't called you back promptly? At TalentZök, customer service is our priority. We return calls promptly. We don't let you fall through the cracks. It sounds so simple yet so few know how to do it right.

THE IMPORTANCE OF A FIRM HANDSHAKE There is no substitute for meeting someone in person. It is the only way to really understand people. We interview all of our candidates in person before they interview at our client companies to ensure the best possible fit. We also visit companies in person, meet the people involved in the decision, get a feel for the company culture and get a thorough understanding of the job.
