The Spectra Temps Advantage
Spectra Temps® Inc. / Tracey & Associates was incorporated in 1993 specializing in permanent placement. That is what makes Spectra Temps® unique. Starting here conditioned us to be thorough in the candidate selection process and allowed us to focus on the client/ candidate matching process, a key factor in both permanent and temporary placement. For over 25 years, we’ve been devoting the same selectivity and detail to our temporary placement business as we bring to our permanent recruiting process. That gives you the advantage over the competition.
