SSP Launches Search Solution

SSP - OI Partners, St. Louis has expanded its presence as a search firm. Jennifer Benskin leads SSP’s recruiting efforts focusing on the fields of Accounting, Finance, Human Resources, Organizational Development and Training, and various other corporate staff roles. Jennifer has an excellent track record delivering search solutions with excellent customer service and a strong focus on finding the right fit between candidate and company. “We differentiate our services be really gaining an understanding of the requirements of the company, the needs of the candidate and the strengths they offer each other, says Benskin. We not only focus on the technical qualifications of the candidate but also that individual’s ability to achieve a good fit with the role and the work environment. We utilize assessment, behavioral interviewing, background checking and other quality processes to get the job done right for our clients.”

Jennifer, Kevin Pallardy, and other members of the SSP - OI Partners, St. Louis team have an extensive network of contacts in the above fields. Benskin describes this network as critical to a successful search. “Our success is utilizing our network to find the qualified candidate who is not really an active job seeker. This produces a pool of quality candidates and results in a better hire and improved retention.”

SSP provides retained, contingency, contract and customized search solutions. For more information on SSP’s Search Solutions contact Jennifer Benskin at 314-523-2232 or jbenskin@sspcorp.net.
