Empowerment Starts Here

A solution to a better working lifestyle

The reality is, at one time or another, everyone in this industry has thought about going out on their own and starting their own agency. There are many benefits to being your own boss; however, by going independent, you sacrifice the capabilities of a being part of one of the best recruiting agencies. At TEEMA, there’s no such sacrifice.
How are we doing that? We’ve created the platform that every recruiting professional has been looking for. What does that mean?

Best Professional Community

You’re independent, but not alone. There is a high degree of collaboration to fill business; you’re part of regional and national teams; we talk weekly and get together throughout the year.

Best Lifestyle

True professionals want independence. Being “managed” goes against our grain. Experience the freedom to choose how you work, where you work with no strings attached.

The Best Commissions.

Up to 80% of every deal goes back to our members. Simple.

Useful Productivity Tools

Everyone needs access to specific job boards, such as LinkedIn Recruiter, Career Builder, Monster, Zip Recruiter or others. We manage these external vendors so that our recruiting specialists get the right tools at discounted prices. We do whatever we can to help add value to our people.

Branding

We know clients work with the person, not the company. That being said, it’s still nice to have a SEO campaign running, a Social Media presence touting who we are and what we’re about, a cool website and marketing material to give to your clients.

Centralized Back Office

We know what recruiters do best; they recruit. We handle the back office headaches such as contract administration, payroll funding, invoicing, opportunities for further training and development, IT support, marketing material, discounts on recruiting tools, and much more.

"I'm constantly being challenged at TEEMA. It is a competitive environment, which I love. I am an athlete, so that kind of challenge drives me and keeps me growing."

Desiree Biermann
Senior Associate, Talent Manager TEEMA Member since 2017

"It is amazing! Working at TEEMA allows me the freedom to control my schedule. As long as I can keep the communication between Clients, Consultants/Candidates and Members prompt and effective, I can do all I can with my time. We have the power of choice, however, with power also comes responsibility."

"I joined TEEMA so I could have the freedom to live the life I choose. To be able to build a business with great people but have the flexibility to be able to live anywhere. I am still at TEEMA because this community is amazing. The way people push each other to become great. I feel like there is a lot to learn here. I feel the opportunities are life changing."

Jarrod Evanyshyn
Senior Associate, Talent Manager TEEMA Member since 2022

"I joined because my former manager joined and was thrilled with her choice. I stayed because I'm really addicted to the people here. I feel like I consistently meet people that challenge and inspire me."

Pam Babuder
BA, Project Manager
TEEMA Member since 2010

"I didn't want to do this alone, and I didn't want to do the back office work, but rather focus on what I do best: recruiting and closing. Plus, TEEMA gives me the opportunity to show up for my clients AND my family, as the definition of success at TEEMA is a balance of being healthy, both physically, with my home life, and work life."

"I'm having so much fun. I'm winning again. I'm collaborating with amazing people, which is where I do my best work. I feel like a winner, a badass, and I know I'm making a difference in people's lives here at TEEMA and for patients, and the clients we staff."

Deira Gerritsen

"The freedom, flexibility and amazing partners I get to work with - this community has enabled me to stretch myself professionally in ways I never had the opportunity to."

Ellen Browen
Senior Associate, Client and Talent Manager
TEEMA Member since 2017

"I joined TEEMA for two reasons: I respected many of the existing members; if they joined I knew something good was happening and TEEMA offered support in areas of business operations where I was not interested nor well equipped to handle in running my own business. I've stayed at TEEMA because this platform offers me the opportunity to earn the revenue I need while providing the flexibility and time required for all my passions and hobbies, i.e. live my best life!"

Rob Morrison
Senior Associate, Client Manager
TEEMA Member since 2013

Danielle Trierweiler
Senior Associate, Client and Talent Manager
TEEMA Member since 2022

"I joined TEEMA for independence and flexibility. Who wouldn't want to be able to pick up their laptop and work from anywhere whenever they want? I spend 5-6 months at my cottage, back to my home base, and then off to warmer climates."

Alison Smith
Senior Associate, Client and Talent Manager
TEEMA Member since 2019

"I originally joined TEEMA for all the reasons our promotional videos share: "be your own boss, be an entrepreneur, make the highest commission in the industry, work from home, and set your own schedule". I stay at TEEMA for the COMMUNITY! To be surrounded by and work with the most qualified, intelligent and professional Talent and Client Managers in the industry is a gift!"

Betsy Nauman Cook
Senior Associate, Client and Talent Manager TEEMA Member since 2018

"My why is helping everyone find their dream job. I've found mine at TEEMA with the financial freedom and work-life balance that has enabled me to be present for my family, all while building life-long friendships along the way. Now, I want to help others do the same."
