History

Idea connectors was founded in 2006. Ray saw a need to improve the hiring process by using supply chain strategies in recruiting. Ray used this model to create a double layer qualification system that is the foundation of the recruiting methodology in place at Idea Connectors.

Ray and the team at Idea Connectors bring a refreshing approach to recruiting.

We work on optimization: we provide clear information so clients and candidates can make good decisions.
