Andy Levine Joins hrQ as Managing Consultant

DENVER, May 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- hrQ Inc., an award-winning professional services firm focusing exclusively on the human resources profession, today announced the addition of Andy Levine to its Denver team.  Levine, who has 20 years of business experience and more than a decade specializing in HR consultancy and executive search, will serve as managing consultant providing executive search services.

"Andrew's solid business acumen gives him tremendous insight into the needs of our clients," said Molly McCoy, CEO and founder of hrQ.  "His commitment to quality and customer service will be a true asset to hrQ and the organizations we serve, ensuring that we present not only candidates of the highest quality, but also those who represent the best cultural fit."

Levine joins hrQ from IHS, Inc., a leading information services company with a presence in 25 countries.  During his tenure with IHS, Levine headed the recruiting function for the company's Americas division and was responsible for all of the organization's executive search projects.  Previously, he served as managing partner for Oak Global Executive Search Group, a global search firm serving clients in the United States, Europe and Asia.

As the economy continues to recover and employers expand their hiring efforts, firms such as hrQ are experiencing growth.  With a solid track record for the past 11 years, hrQ's expansion strategies are on target.  The company saw more than 150 percent increase in revenue over the past year and plans to expand beyond its current presence in Dallas, Denver, Houston and San Francisco into several additional markets over the next two years.

"The growth we're experiencing at hrQ is an important and positive indicator for the economy as a whole," continued McCoy.  "The demand for consultants and contract HR staffing over the past few years has been extraordinary, but the requests for internal staffing recently accelerated as the economy started to rebound.  At the same time, client expectations are also increasing.  Employers want to know that their HR personnel are tightly aligned with the company's goals and strategies.  It's not just about placing a candidate, but placing the right candidate at the right organization, which is what hrQ does best."
