Backed by an NPS of 87, with glowing reviews from candidates and clients.

  • As a leading anti-human trafficking organization in the United States and Asia, it has been challenging finding the right staff to join our growing team. The AVRA team has served as an extension of our human resource team, helping us fill critical roles. They are responsive, knowledgeable, and committed to helping Nomi Network grow our mission to serve women and girls around the world.

  • Having worked with many other recruiters, I can easily say AVRA is the best we’ve ever worked with. They take the time and care to actually understand the type of people (skills + fit) we are looking for upfront, which ultimately saves us a ton of time/headache, since they only show us good candidates without too much noise or overhead. We’ll continue to use AVRA for help hiring any non-technical role.

    Sam WilcoxonCEO, Ask Lorem Tech

  • As a small business owner, recruiting talent is a critically important task, but can also be very time consuming and take me away from other critical tasks. It’s also not what I’m best at! Working with Avra has taken the stress of recruiting off my plate, as well as the headaches associated with working with typical recruiters. They often ask for a lot of my time, reviewing a rolodex of candidates that are not a fit. I’ve had very little success with traditional recruiters, whereas Avra has found the right candidate for 100% of the roles for which we’ve hired them. They are transparent, a pleasure to work with, and take their recruiting process further, helping to really vet candidates before they come across my desk. I’m looking forward to a long relationship with the Avra team!

  • As a founder, we’re all busy and hiring is just another thing that seems like a daunting task when your plate is already full. Maren and her strong team took the stress out of the hiring process and assured me that they would handle the heavy lifting of vetting resumes and screening the candidates. We were looking to hire our first SDR (which was foreign territory for me) and the AVRA Talent team streamlined the entire process. I was very impressed by their level of professionalism and guidance with each step. Our first SDR hire has been a success and this would have been a difficult time-consuming process for me without Maren and her team. AVRA is a joy to work with and I would recommend them to any founder who is just as busy as I am.

  • You were both incredibly communicative, responsive and helpful. You gave us a high quality pool of candidates which produced an ideal match in relatively few interviews. Overall, a great experience with an optimal result.

    Ben PorterVP of Operations, 1-800-GOT-JUNK?

  • Great Job, very thoughtful process. I think you did a good job listening to the team and having a feel for the kind of people we needed to fit the roles. I enjoyed working with you and the interactions were always very efficient, engaging and productive.
