Locations

Our main office is located in Baltimore at 3701 Old Court Road, Suite 5B, Baltimore, MD 21208. While this is our only physical office location, we serve employers and job seekers throughout all 23 Maryland counties plus Baltimore City.

We offer virtual consultations, phone interviews, and on-site facility visits throughout Maryland, so you don't need to travel to our Baltimore office. Most of our Maryland clients never visit our office - we bring our services directly to you!

Great question! Here's how we effectively serve all Maryland locations:

1. Virtual Communication: Phone, email, Zoom, Microsoft Teams consultations eliminate geographic barriers
2. On-Site Visits: We travel to Maryland employer facilities throughout the state for consultations, facility tours, and meetings
3. Local Recruitment: We recruit candidates locally in each Maryland region through targeted advertising, local job boards, community partnerships
4. Regional Candidate Databases: We maintain databases of pre-screened candidates organized by Maryland region (Central, Eastern Shore, Western, Southern, DC Metro)
5. Maryland Market Expertise: Our recruiters understand salary expectations, commute patterns, and industry dynamics for each Maryland region
6. Fast Coordination: Modern technology allows us to coordinate placements anywhere in Maryland as efficiently as if we had offices in every city
