Everyone in your staffing firm provides customer service.

From account managers and recruiters to receptionists and back-office staff, your employees provide service to all types of “customers” every day: employers, job seekers, temporaries on assignment, coworkers, industry partners and even vendors.

So, when was the last time you trained your staff on providing great customer service?
