The reputation has stayed with us into the millennium. We believe that the size of Merit (8 Personal Consultants) is effective, because, it allows us to conduct our business in a more professional and controlled atmosphere. In turn, enabling us to interface more cohesively with both our clients and applicants.  Most important to us is to make the applicants feel more comfortable knowing that we strive to find them the most appropriate position.  This philosophy has allowed us to become one of the more respected and successful agencies in the Personnel Industry.  We are proud to represent such firms as Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Morgan Stanley, Deloitte & Touche and Alliance Capital just to name a few.
