I worked with Ed from HV Social media with the expressed desire to hire a new employee. I'd been searching for 6+ months for the right candidate trying multiple online sites that just seemed to be giving me people to give me people, no qualifications, outside the area... poor all around. Within a month Ed had me multiple solid leads and I choose the best candidate and he's still with me today. During that time period I also received more work from both new and existing clients due to the increased exposure. Thanks Ed and your team at HV Social media for all your hard work!...
