The Creative Network, Inc. (TCN) is the Craft and hobby
industry's key personnel and executive recruiting firm that was
founded by industry veteran Gail Czech 15+ years ago. Since then TCN
has expanded into the stationery, toy, publishing, home décor,
office products, and related industries. TCN specializes in finding
highly skilled, qualified candidates for companies in those
industries.
"Every TCN search assignment is unique," Gail said.
"There is no one-size-fits-all solution. We take pride in our
ability to acquire a deep understanding of our client companies'
needs, requirements, and industry in order to ensure a successful
search."

needs and issues; b) organize/plan the search
campaign/process; c) source candidates; d) qualify
candidates based on client's requirements; e) screen and
interview; f) present short list for phone and face-to-face
interviews; g) review and make recommendations; h) check
references; i) present, negotiate, and close offers on behalf
of the clients.
TNC assures complete confidentiality for clients and candidates,
and is committed to "after-placement" communications with
client companies and placed candidates to ensure a positive
long-term relationship.
Additional services include a bi-monthly e-letter (focusing on
employment trends and issues); assistance with relocation services;
cost-of-living comparisons (upon request); credit and criminal
reference checks (nominal fee); pre-screen testing (nominal fee);
contract employees.
