"Right person, right position - right the first time." That's the motto of Anchor Personnel, a full-service employment agency that prides itself in knowing both the job-seeker and the prospective employer very well before putting the two together.
   "One of the No. 1 hidden costs in business is staff turnover and our focus is to eliminate that," said Heather Davis, vice president and chief operating officer.
   "We meet face-to-face and walk through the business, whether it be a health care facility, a corporate office, a plant or whoever needs us," she said. "We make sure we understand the operation, the work environment, so that we can provide personnel that are a good fit."
   Located at 156 E. Spring Valley Road in Centerville, Ohio, Anchor Personnel handles temporary placement, temp-to-hire, direct hire and long-term personnel leasing contracts. When appropriate, Anchor networks nationally to support multi-state clients and to identify the pool of best candidates.
   "We have a wide variety of opportunities, mostly in administrative,

professional, medical, industrial, transportation and construction," Davis said. "We seek people who work in those fields and we seek people that are looking to hire in those fields."
   Anchor Personnel strives to "take the guesswork out of hiring" by using the newest in testing standards, which includes verification of employment, references, Social Security numbers and education. It also provides human resources consultancy and servies such as background checks, drug screening and personality profiles.
   "Basically we evaluate the environment that the candidate is going into and then we evaluate the candidate," Davis said. "It is important to us that we provide a valuable person to the client and it is also important to us that the employee is put in a quality work environment where thay can flourish and continue to grow. We are an advocate both for the employee and the employer."
