Either way, we want to thank you for stopping in for our "drawing" and taking the extra time to talk a little biz. Special thanks to the CFHLA team for making sure our first ever HEAT was a huge success! We look forward to seeing you all around town and at many future events." - Stephanie, Magdalena, John, Mike, Laura and Carol of sourcemaster Search Staffing Matchability "Keep up the good work!"
