Marty Pleasant
PRESIDENT
Owner, Business Development, Recruiter, Janitor, Resident Oenophile
With over 17 years of Technology Recruiting experience in every role possible, Marty brings a unique perspective to the table. “I have been a recruiter, an account manager, a business development manager, a branch manager, a corporate recruiter, a client and a consultant myself and …I have even been placed in a full time role by a head hunter.” She wants to bring an understanding of how each person feels through the process to build a kinder, gentler recruiting firm that cares about their recruiters, clients, consultants and perm candidates equally. “In this business we are just a middle man – making things happen for others, but without all these people wanting and needing each other we are nothing. We only exist as a business to serve them.” Let us make finding the right person for your role or finding your next project a “Pleasant Experience”.

Our Recruiters
Our recruiters are a collection of 6 experienced, independent recruiters with a vast knowledge of the Twin Cities market and talent. All of our recruiters have between 5 to 10 years’ experience in the industry. (We don’t leave our most important task – finding great people – to amateurs!) They are all specialized in Technology, and they know how to source the right people with the right personality and the right skills. We support the entrepreneurial spirit by offering a great commission plan along with flexible schedules. We know recruiting isn’t an 8-5 job…you work nights and weekends so why punch a time clock?
Our Consultants and Placements
Are you a world class technology professional but with home town values? Do you have great work ethics and want to contribute to a team? You are what we need! Our candidates are treated with respect and knowledge of the industry. We seek to find you a great project with good work life balance. We strive to consider your needs as well as our clients’ needs. We know the hiring managers and HR departments we send you to personally, so we can give you a real analysis of the type of work environment and culture you will be joining. We offer weekly payroll to all of our consultants.
Our Clients
Our clients are local Twin Cities corporations from huge Fortune 100 to locally owned corporations. We endeavor to find clients that treat employees and contractors well and offer work with cutting edge technologies. Our history with many of our customers is over 10 years, so we know what they want in soft skills as well as technical skills.
