Two senior Amtec staffing managers, Robert Duchess and Robert Short, earned a mark of industry distinction for recruiting employees  – the American Staffing Association’s Certified Search Consultant® certification. With this addition, Amtec expands its growing team of Certified Search Consultants. 

This industry certification is awarded to recruiting experts who have completed ASA course work designed for search and placement professionals. The focus of the training is federal employment law specific to recruiters, along with state licensing and registration laws that affect direct hire firms. 

“Robert and Rob both know how to recruit employees, and go above and beyond for our clients,” said Ryan Mann, Direct Hire Manager at Amtec. “The need for current guidance on national and state requirements for recruiting is essential, and with our expanding team of CSC’s,  we are committed to staying on top of all the latest rules and requirements.”
