Q&A with Tim Ozier: The Power of a Single Point of Talent Access
MRINetwork sat down with Tim Ozier, Director of HireQuest Global Recruiting, to talk about why companies are turning to HQGR for a smarter, faster, and more flexible approach to hiring.
MRINetwork: Tim, for those unfamiliar — what exactly is HireQuest Global Recruiting, and how does it support companies looking to hire across industries?
Tim Ozier: HQGR is your single point of entry into the entire MRINetwork ecosystem – over 200 offices strong and covering virtually every key industry. Instead of vetting 5 different firms or chasing 12 cold outreach messages, clients come to us and get access to the exact recruiter or team they need, fast. We streamline it, while still deliver the same personalized service we’ve always been known for.
MRINetwork: One common myth we hear is that external recruiters are too expensive. What’s your response to that?
Tim Ozier: I hear that all the time – and it’s simply not the full story. Studies show that employees placed through external recruiters tend to stay longer and perform better. One report from the National Association of Personnel Services found that externally placed candidates have a 25% higher retention rate at the two-year mark, saving employers thousands in turnover costs. So yes, there’s a fee, but the ROI is real.
MRINetwork: Another concern is that corporate HR teams already have a handle on recruiting. Why bring in HQGR?
Tim Ozier: We’re not here to replace anyone, we’re here to enhance their success. Corporate recruiters are often juggling dozens of roles and managing internal stakeholders. HQGR helps take the pressure off by delivering qualified, vetted talent quickly, especially for hard-to-fill or specialized roles. We’re an extension of your team, not competition.
MRINetwork: Let’s talk scale. How does HQGR manage volume or global hiring?
Tim Ozier: That’s where the model shines. Because we’re backed by the entire MRINetwork, we can deploy multiple recruiters in different markets or verticals simultaneously without sacrificing speed or quality. One point of contact, national reach, local expertise.
MRINetwork: And for companies looking for flexibility you also offer contract staffing, correct?
Tim Ozier: Absolutely. Our contract staffing program helps companies scale up quickly without the long-term commitment. Whether it’s for project-based work, leave coverage, or interim leadership, we make it easy. And because it’s through HQGR, we handle compliance, onboarding, and payroll, so you can focus on results.
MRINetwork: Final thought – what would you say to a company that’s on the fence about working with HQGR?
Tim Ozier: Start with one role. Let us show you what true recruiting partnership looks like – fast turnaround, top-tier talent, and zero runaround. If it’s not the right fit, no harm. But more often than not, companies stick with us and scale up. That’s the difference when you have 200+ offices behind you—and one name to call.
