“I have made great efforts to constantly inspire a defining principle that is perhaps more responsible for my firm’s success than any other factor, including being good at what we do; it is dedicating ourselves and our efforts to our clients’ business goals first, not ours. That dedication has enabled us to achieve our goals too”.

Shelley Millen, President

"The GMW Group has been my sales division's primary recruiting firm for a number of years. Shelley Millen, GMW's President, and her team of recruiting developers are continually building upon their network of relationships which enables our recruitment of the qualified professionals we need for growth. I'm impressed when the president of a company works directly in the process, and Shelley works one on one directly with me."–Larry F., Vice President of Sales

"People are more than key words in a hiring software program that warehouses candidates whose availability may be limited, and technology is merely an implement that enables an approach to one dimensional information (resumes). There's no short or easy route to effective recruiting. The GMW Group is a very experienced firm and has proved to be a valuable resource. GMW helps us evaluate, recruit and hire great "people", not just query on keywords and send resumes."–Linda K., Director of Human Resources

"Necessary for expansion into Energy Markets we had a critical Director of Environmental Services position vacant for a number of months due to the position's demanding requirements when we were referred to The GMW Group by our law firm. GMW managed and completed the recruitment project inside of five weeks. We've engaged them for various assignments ever since."–Peter S., Chief Executive Officer

"The GMW Group has managed all of our recruiting on an ongoing basis for all of our Engineering, Sales and Marketing disciplines, and successfully administers all processes. What's impressed me is that they've proven the ability to recruit at every level in the company. From support staff to engineering to our CFO, GMW's proficiency eliminated the need to engage multiple firms. That surprised me. We're demanding but The GMW Group provides solid performance for us."–John E., President and Chief Executive Officer

"Thanks so much for passing this along. I don't ever think I thanked you for the additional insight into Shelley. She is a wonderful person and I have really enjoyed working with her the past few months and getting to know you and GMW more. As I shared with her, it is great to have a newfound firm and a renewed faith and confidence in recruiting firms, especially one that knows and understands professionalism. There is absolute certainty we will continue to work with your firm. Thanks."–Heather D., Director of Human Resources
