“The concept of the company is the ‘right idea at the right time’. When one considers the shifting demographics in the workforce which has created the need for many people to work longer but with more flexibility and the Businesses’ need to continue to be more creative in how to establish and maintain an effective workforce. Part-Time Pros is bridging the gap between the individual needs and the Business needs.” Robert M, Retired Professional and Part-Time Pro.
“As a client of Part Time Pros my experience has been that results always exceeded my expectations. The people whom I have interacted with and the company processes have been forthright and diligent.” Cathy M, Independent Consultant
“Carey, I am truly grateful to have run into your company. You have been a blessing to my life when I felt so certain that I was never going to be given a chance at a career in such a delicate time in our country’s financial crisis. Thank you for being an honest leader in the Tulsa community.” Susan T, Part-Time Pro
“I rarely make the time to send these types of communication to our recruiters, but I feel that you and your organization are unique amongst the recruitment community. Your approach and integrity have struck a chord with me and I am compelled to share that appreciation with you.
The first thing that caught my eye about Part-Time Pros was the newsletter that you distribute to local companies. It is apparent that your concern is both with the employees and contractors you represent, as well as the hiring company. All too often I have experienced a recruiter trying to shove their current prospect down my throat, all the while ignoring what is the best interest of all parties. It is clear that I will not have that worry when dealing with Part-Time Pros.
I am also extremely impressed with your personal approach and the manner in which you attempt to determine motivation, company culture, and the “fit” of an individual. Part-Time Pros’ representation of a number of retired individuals who still want to contribute and engage is a novel approach and one that I think we will see more of in the coming years as baby boomers retire. It seems that your organization is poised to service that particular niche quite well.
Carey, I just want to tell you what a pleasure it is to work with someone with high moral standards and values and to know that I can count on you to send highly qualified individuals for any job openings. I look forward to a long and productive relationship for our contract or hiring needs in the future.”
Gloria M, Technology Company
“As a business owner, I think your company is, perhaps, the most honest and transparent company I have encountered in a long time.” Anonymous, small consulting company
“Carey Baker and the staff of Part-Time Pros is a true asset to the employment agencies sector in the Tulsa area. When I began my job search, after taking fourteen years off to raise my children, they were one of the few employment agencies that completely understood that just because I had been a stay-at-home mom that I had not lost all my business and leadership skills. They did not dismiss all of the volunteer work that I had done over the past fourteen years nor did they assume that I had just sat at home eating bon-bons. During my first interview Amy listened carefully to not only what I had done in my previous job, but also how and where I had volunteered. By doing this she was able to put together a list of skills that I had acquired and able to show that many of my skills were up-to-date. In a society that is conflicted on the roles of stay-at-home moms, Carey and her staff made me feel as though I had not sacrificed a career nor did they make me feel guilty about taking time out of my career to raise my children. This was a blessing to me since I was unsure of how someone like me would be perceived in the working world. With the help of Part-Time Pros I was able to re-enter the workforce in a position that is a perfect match to my job interests and skills and for this I will be forever grateful.” Lisa T
“It is with tremendous confidence both as a referral source and current client of Part-Time Pros that I highly recommend Carey Baker for the incredible value her company brings to the Tulsa community and its workforce. Carey is professional, knowledgeable and provides superior service to all of her clients. Her vision to provide a service both to individuals seeking part-time employment, and service to employers needing specific skill sets on a part-time funding basis is innovative and forward-thinking. In face of the current economic crisis and looming unemployment issues, Carey’s business plan should prove to be a watershed idea for Tulsa citizens and employers. Her understanding of the needs of young families is a wonderful benefit to Tulsa and Oklahoma. Putting family first, while still providing an additional income to families will strengthen our economy and build children who are well nurtured and prepared for both scholastic and workplace challenges. Plus I firmly believe that this business model will reduce the stress that so many young families encounter and will help to reduce the overall divorce rate in our state. This business model is a win/win for the individual, the children, the families, the employer and the State of Oklahoma. To know Carey is to know that she is strategic, determined and creative.” Beth P, Local Non-Profit
“When I received your ‘let me introduce myself’ email last fall, I responded to it because I was frustrated dealing with large placement firms and saw this as a chance to, perhaps, receive more personalized service. I have not been disappointed. The personal approach and attention to detail exhibited by you and your staff have been impressive. As I’ve shared information about the level and type of person needed for a particular position you’ve asked questions in a way that told me you were really listening. You and your staff have also done an excellent job of staying in touch during our searches, but not calling and applying pressure. When you’ve sent me resumes you’ve hit the target. With other agencies I received volumes of resumes, many of which did not even meet the minimum requirements. I was irritated by the time-wasting process of opening resumes that didn’t fit, and then having to re-state my requirements to multiple recruiters (in the same company) who apparently didn’t share my feedback with each other. What a relief it was when qualified resumes from Part-Time Pros came via email – and they were all worth considering! We had some very specific requirements for the Accountant position, with attributes unique to our hospital environment. The candidate you found for us has been a perfect fit. Thank you for your efforts on our behalf. We look forward to a continued relationship.” Cindy B, Large healthcare organization
“Since Carey and Brett opened their doors, my company has used their staffing services on 6 separate occasions. Every interaction with their staff has been professional, organized, and always a pleasure. All of the individuals we have used over the last year were of the highest standards. We have been so impressed that two of their part-time clients are now working for our company directly. A great example of how Part-time Pros can be a help to local companies was demonstrated in our latest request. Our company has been in search of a bilingual interpreter for our growing Spanish patient population. Within a week a young woman was interviewed, hired and has taken our office to a new level of service for Tulsa and the surrounding areas. Not only have we given a job to a young mother who only wanted part-time work but we are now better serving our Spanish community.” Heather P, Mid-Size Doctors Office
“I loved working with Part-Time Pros and I didn’t want my journey with you to end but am grateful to have a wonderful job. You guys are all the best and if I ever need work again…I won’t go through with anyone else but Part-Time Pros. Part-Time Pros is very professional and very personable….I was glad to be treated like a person instead of a number. Part-Time Pros is like a family and I was honored to have represented the family and been a part of the best family in Tulsa! I thank you for all the help you have given me and I wish nothing but the best.” Latiya T, professional placed through Part-Time Pros
“Part-time Pros provides a unique service by connecting individuals looking for a better work/life balance, flexible hours for raising a family or continued involvement for retired or semi-retired professionals to the business community. This is a niche area that has been overlooked for years and provides skilled and sometimes difficult to find workers to local employers. The fact that Part-Time Pros focuses only on part-time oriented projects/work allows them to be more targeted in identifying individuals interested in working a more flexible schedule. This targeted approach sets them apart from all other staffing services in the region. Carey brings a level of professionalism, experience and expertise to her role that is hard to beat in the market. She’s engaging, genuine and understands the needs of small and big businesses in our community. When it comes to partnering with organizations to better understand their needs Carey is very adept at evaluating and offering reasonable solutions. Part-Time Pros provides affordable and high caliber staffing services to entrepreneurs, small business owners and large corporations to assist with maintaining and growing their businesses. Identifying skilled workers in today’s economy is paramount to ensuring success. Carey’s business model provides businesses with more options to leverage existing resources in the community to meet their strategic goals while maintaining costs. This is a win/win scenario for workers, employers, our economy and community. Carey epitomizes the entrepreneurial spirit by recognizing a need in the community, identifying a solution and providing a service through her vision in Part-Time Pros.” Tulsa Chamber
“When we began looking for a part time employee Part Time Pros provided to be an excellent recourse. We were provided three candidates quickly and it was actually hard to choose from them. If we had advertised for a part time employee it would have been difficult to find someone who truly wanted part time rather than an applicant that said they wanted part time – when the actual fact was they ‘just needed a job’. Carey Baker and her staff have been wonderful to work with and we will certainly use them in the future. They saved us a ton of time and money.” Susan F, Local Construction Company
“As a new mother, I have a greater appreciation for those like yourself who make balancing career and family look so effortless. It is truly encouraging for a future Part-Time Pro. Again, I just wanted to say thank you for spending a few moments of your afternoon with me. It means more than you know.” Teresa B, Part-Time Pro
“During mid-year 2008, I was in a real quandary about what I needed to do to give my life some purpose and direction again. I had retired from my career in hospital management during mid-year 2005. My wife and I had traveled extensively; I had played a lot of golf and had expanded on my hobby of renovating the house. Even with these activities, I found that my life had become boring and I knew that I needed something more if I was going to retain a positive mental outlook and physical health. That’s when I saw an article about Part-Time Pros. I submitted my resume and scheduled an interview. During the interview, I explained to Part-Time Pros that I did not want to work full-time, but I did desire to return to work on a part-time basis, hopefully in some field that would allow me to bring some of my skills and experience to the workplace. With your firms help, I was able to begin a part-time position with a well known healthcare organization. I have enjoyed this work immensely and I look forward to coming to work each day. Even my wife has recognized that this work and being in the work place again has significantly improved my attitude around the house. Thanks to you guys, I now feel as if I have a true purpose in life again. Thank you for all of your help,” Retired CFO and Part-Time Pro
“As someone who was new to the Tulsa area, it was difficult to find a great job with very little connections and a weakened economy to contend with. I had some success with a job placement agency but never heard back once my contract was up. I decided to continue looking for other placement agencies and came upon Part-Time Pros. The staff was very inviting and certainly showed an interest to place myself, a recent college graduate, into a position where my skills in marketing and graphic design would be needed. It wasn’t long after my interview with Part-Time Pros that there was a potential position for a small marketing company whom they have helped in the past. Part-Time Pros gave me the ‘connection’ I needed as well as interviewing tips to come away with a job that I now work in full time.” Brian, Part-Time Pro
“I have spent about 11 years in the staffing agency business and it is very rare to find a company that specializes on the part-time employee. This will be an outstanding venture for both the part-time worker and employers. Since meeting with Part-Time Pros, we have utilized Part-Time Pros on eight separate occasions and have been very impressed with the candidate quality and speed in which the positions were filled. You and your staff provide outstanding customer service and it is superior to the majority of your competitors. Since your service is so unique, it is difficult for me to compare you to other vendors. You are clearly off to a great start and if you continue to operate at this level you will easily exceed the service of ALL your competitors. Thanks for everything you have provided the Bank so far and please let me know if you need any additional information. I wish you continued success!” Jay, Large Commercial Lending Bank
