Additional Information

All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines.

Using companies such as Progeny Human Resource Solutions as your advocate enables you, the applicant, to put your resume to the front of the line for consideration by the Human Resources Department (rather than hope that your resume had the right wording so that it is flagged as a possible match to the position you have applied for).

We strive to review every resume and make contact with every applicant to ascertain their qualifications and how best to market their abilities to the employer as well as to see if there are other matches that you may find of interest with other facilities in other areas (or even other states).

As is the case with any organization that specializes in finding exceptional talent for their clients, we cannot represent any candidate with a facility that the candidate has been working with, applied directly to, had other agencies represent, or who is currently an employee of the organization that they are applying to.
