We’re a bunch of people-persons.
We’re change-makers. Never-been-done-before-doers. We don’t just help people find jobs. We help them find their path. We don’t just meet a hiring quota. We meet a need.
We listen, understand, empathize, and connect. We believe in giving back. Crafting careers and fueling passions.
That’s the Premier way of being.
“Changing Lives.” That’s the Premier motto. We live it every day.
We’re a bit…obsessive.
We’re a little fixated on change. We believe we can create it. Remove obstacles. Craft openness. Update an outdated industry with honesty and transparency. We’re focused on growing. Ourselves, our clients’ companies, our job seekers. We’re modern-day matchmakers, and we’re here to connect.
Progressive • Fierce • Precise • Devoted
Humans beat robots. Every time. Technology doesn't hire people. People hire people.
Technology can find resumes and jobs. That magical connection between an employer and Talent doesn’t happen in a resume, it happens between people. People make connections and make it personal.
What a coincidence. That's why we rely on human interaction, not just technology. We take the time and effort to get to know you--whether you're a client or a candidate. That's why we're able to match the right person with the perfect position. Instead of just putting a warm body in an empty chair.
Values:
CARE
CONNECTION
GRATITUDE
INTEGRITY
INCLUSION
We do more than solve problems. We change lives.
For the right companies, we’re an extension of your HR team--sourcing, vetting, and matching people with critical job openings.
For the right candidates, we’re your go-to resource for navigating career choices and ensuring a perfect fit. Advice, coaching, and connections is what we provide.
1998
The year it all began. One recruiter became five became seven. By the end of the year, Premier was 10 people strong, had three divisions and had nearly doubled our staffing goal.
2001
The .com bubble burst. We helped our clients and talent survive the crash by supporting our clients and helping keep their employees working. While many staffing agencies wilted, we redefined what it means to be a partner.
2005
Four years later, we bounced back to help Bay Area businesses grow 25-30% with quality talent.
2009
Instead of just finding and placing talent in Bay Area businesses, we focused on keeping them there. With this important shift, we became educators instead of just recruiters.
2011
We began a new Premier tradition of a “word of the year” to serve as a theme. 2010’s word: Excellence.
