For companies

A company's success is a direct correlation to the quality of its talent and leadership; however, each company's human capital challenges are specific to its industry, economic situation, infrastructure and unique needs. While many recruitment companies can help identify talent and submit their résumés, Unison Resource Company provides creative, customized solutions for companies needing to solve a range of staffing and human capital resource challenges. These solutions include full-time placement, identifying project contractors and creating and staffing on-site departments to handle functions such as marketing, communications or event planning.

How are we different?
  • We understand that recruitment services are not one-size-fits-all. Our extensive experience in professional recruiting allows us to create non-traditional, individualized solutions that meet specific staffing and human capital needs of each client and situation. We also offer pricing tailored for each client in order to provide a cost-effective option when human capital needs arise. To date, our creative client solutions include outsourcing a department, identifying full-time contractors for a marketing services group on-site, creating an expert project contractor program and developing a supplemental sales consultant pilot program to introduce a company and its products to new areas of the country. Each of these solutions was designed to specifically meet the unique needs of each company and situation.
  • We believe in the power of partnerships. Unlike temporary service agencies or other recruiting companies, we develop a true partnership with our clients to tailor our out-sourcing and recruitment services to match each specific need. We also actively seek and recommend solutions that go beyond increasing full-time headcount to finding more cost-effective alternatives, if appropriate.
  • Open, honest communication with companies and candidates is a must. Building a relationship with our clients allows us to communicate confidently with potential candidates about the company, position, working environment and opportunities for growth, which is a vital step to finding a successful hiring match. Our goal is for our services to be beneficial to both the company and candidate.
  • From full-time placement to on-site assistance, our solutions fit your specific needs. Unison Resource Company will work with companies interested in outsourcing specific departments or functions to reduce headcount or achieve improved efficiencies. In these situations, our team will define the structure, roles, deliverables and evaluation tools for an on-site department designed to handle specific functions and responsibilities, such as communications, event planning or marketing. While the individuals working in this department are not employees of the company, they are located on-site and work seamlessly with the company’s internal operating systems and processes. This cost-effective approach provides the flexibility to expand or contract the department based on need.
  • Our talent pool is extensive and unique. If your company needs temporary consultants, we can match your requirements with our extensive pool of expert industry project contractors. These individuals may be recently retired but looking to remain professionally active, are in-between full-time positions, or are simply seeking a more flexible working situation. All of our expert project contractors provide extensive industry experience and expertise while working on a project basis.


Through our experienced team and industry connections and strategic recruitment process, we serve as a reliable source for top talent. As a member of the JLM1926 family of companies, Unison Resource Company is well-connected in a variety of industries, including agribusiness, health care, lifesciences, and more. We primarily focus on opportunities in the marketing, sales, creative and communications areas of business.
