A Word from the CEO

 

As the CEO of Select Resources, it is not only important for me to let you know what our company does, but why we do it.

 

Our mission statement is both a reflection of my heart and our entire company. Simply stated, our mission is “Bringing experienced professionals together with exceptional organizations while honoring God.”

 

We seek to fulfill this mission by caring for our clients, candidates, employees, and community in practical ways.

 

  • To our clients we invest the time to understand their culture and environment to more effectively provide top-quality IT professionals at competitive rates.
  • To our candidates we take a sincere interest in understanding their professional objectives. We then work together with them to achieve their goals.
  • To our employees we are committed to consistent follow-up to help ensure a positive work experience. In addition, we offer a comprehensive benefit package and help consultants reach their long-term goals.
  • To our community we support numerous worthy organizations with food, clothing, donated items, time, money, and prayer.

 

Select Resources could not exist without all those mentioned above and I sincerely thank you. Ultimately though, it exists because of God. I want to thank God for allowing me to be a part of your lives through Select Resources.

 

I am especially thankful to God for the gift of His Son Jesus who died for my sins and rose from the dead. Through Jesus, I am a child of God and I will live in Heaven forever.

 

If you are unsure you will go to Heaven and want to be certain, I invite you to call me on my direct line at 616-291-5007.

 

Sincerely,

Thomas D. Combs

CEO
