What does "Aquent" mean?

Aquent is a created word which is a mixture of Greek and Latin, and means "Not a Follower". We always strive to be a pioneer in our chosen field.

What can you do for an applicant that he or she can't do individually?

Most applicants are so focused in their current job that they do not have the time and resources to find out information about companies and potential job openings. We can provide insights to what's hot and in demand in the career market. In most cases, we are able to provide detailed information about the companies we work with (such as company culture, management style, strategy and vision of the company) so that the applicant is fully aware and his expectations are managed before making the big decision to change their job or career.
