At Landover, since we all work as a team, it is extremely important that we all can work together in a symbiotic way. To make sure of this, we not only select those that we feel have the capability to produce great placement results; we also have to feel that their work style and personality will mesh with the team.
Michael is the President and Founder of Landover. In 1988, he decided that there was a need for a different approach to technical recruiting. The basis of this idea was to take salespeople out of the equation and replace them with service-oriented career professionals, who work as a team and earn salaries instead of commissions on placements.
Robin, Co-Founder and Manager of Recruiting, has been working in the industry for many years. It is pretty rare that she doesn’t know someone or how to get the impossible done.

If you need to understand the big picture, or how to reach people when they are unreachable, talk to Robin. She will tell you that even after helping people for many years she still finds it fun and rewarding.
