Back Office Team
“Huge credit to the back-office team, the level of support has been outstanding. Jumping on client calls, sharing ideas, stepping in where needed, and still managing their own responsibilities while wearing multiple hats. That kind of teamwork matters. When everyone is rowing in the same direction, everything runs smoother, thank you all.” -Paul Calvino
Juliana Orozcco & Addison Johnson
“Huge shoutout to Jules and Addison for completing the reorganization of our W-2 consultant personnel files. This was no small task, over 1,000 folders and they chipped away at it consistently over the past two years whenever they had downtime. This is a huge accomplishment for both our team and Carlton. Thank you both for sticking with it and getting it across the finish line.” -Donna West
“We would like to recognize Addison for stepping up to make sure she got an international drug test squared away before the consultant started. Addison pushed to make sure that he had everything he needed to walk into a facility that offered what we required.” -John Herrin & Ryan Prifti

“Dave went out for sinus surgery on a Monday, and instead of taking the week off, he was back the very next day on Teams trainings, bandages and all, focused on learning more about recruiting and Life Sciences.
