Harper Associates is a very professional and dynamic Employment agency. They are very strict and precise about the candidats skills and experiences. They take time to know you during the interview and it makes you feel confortable. They are also benevolent and positive. They guide you, advice you and they will help you until you sign a contract.

I applied for a part time job at 25 miles from where I live and they offered me a full time position at 2 miles from home! Thanks to Cindy and Ben I've got my 1st job and it is a dream one! They were amazing to me!

Years ago I had the good fortune to come across Ben Schwartz and Cindy Krainen of Harper Associates. They have placed me in a few excellent positions over the years and have been absolutely indispensable in building my resume and career path. They have amazing opportunities to offer and their professionalism is unmatched. My current position is full time with fantastic pay and benefits and is one I could not have obtained without the mediation of Harper Associates. I would strongly encourage anyone who is searching for an excellent, long term position to get in touch with them right away and send your resume. They are the best!

I worked with Harper Associates couple of times. Although the nature of the business is very delicate, they will do the best they can to place you in a job. I appreciated the prompted responses every time I had a question from both: Miss Cindy Krainen and Mr. Ben Schwarts. No agency or agent is perfect, but neither of us seeking a job are perfect either, so bear with them and they will come through, whenever they will find you a matching job, they did it for me and I grateful for all their help.

I had a great recruiting experience with Cindy Krainen, RD at Harper Associates for my current position. She was very knowledgeable about the position I applied for, as well as the organization and she provided me guidance throughout the interviewing process. She was extremely thorough and followed up with me regularly - which I've not found to always be the case with other recruiters. I would highly recommend Cindy and Harper Associates for any recruiting needs!

I worked closely with Ben over the summer of 2020 (height of COVID). He was very professional and responsive. We talked before and after each interview and he occasionally gave me pointers. I ended up taking a job that was otherwise unposted but that he knew was open. Overall a good experience and I am grateful for him helping me land my job. I have recommended Harper Associates to friends looking for jobs in the Detroit region.

There is no higher level of service than private service. You have to be trusted with a families home, friends, relatives and private life in general. You do not often casually stumble into these roles. It is a huge advantage to have a highly skilled and trusted service to help make those introductions. Ben Schwartz and Cindy Krainen with Harper Associates certainly have the trust of the community, skill and determination to play matchmaker for all involved, Principal and the Private Service Professional alike.

My experience with them was nothing but professional and they executed their role in helping match me with a family flawlessly and in short order. I would 100% recommend anyone seeking a private service role or any family seeking staff to use Harper Associates.
