Our mission is to partner with
you, the candidate, to identify the most desirable architecture and
design firms in the field and to partner with you, the client, to
locate the best architecture and design talent the profession has to
offer. We look for compatible environments, cultures and
design sensibilities to insure a comfortable fit for all on a
project or permanent basis. We also know that in order to be
successful over the long term, making a good match is not enough.
With this in mind, CFA strives to provide the best customer service
before and after each placement. Candidates and firms are our
only customers because staffing is our only business. Everyone
is treated the same, regardless of the size of the account or their
level of experience and every call our placement staff receives is unique. Because every call is unique, there is something to learn from each one. We realize that customers are not only the priority: they are also our most valuable resource.
