                                 HEADQUARTERS!!!!!

                           TIGARD,OR. 97223

We are pleased to announce that Tri-Star Search, LLC, a locally owned company and nationally certified MInority Owned Business Enterprise moved offices in November.  The new office will serve as our Corporate Headquarters as we expand into the Pacific NW.  The office building has been fully remodeled to improve the workflow for our awesome team of recruiters and our clients!  The new office is much bigger: it is four times as large! We have hired a number of experienced professionals to our team and this will allow us to be able to stretch out a bit more in our new space.  In addition to the new office we’re taking PRODUCTIVITY and EXCELLENCE in RECRUITING to a whole new level by installing a cutting-edge VOIP phone and an improved network system: the systems will integrate voice, video, and data applications over our existing IP network giving us the ability to extend full telephone functionality to local and remote users.  This means when we have client-in-office interviews, no matter how remote our clients or candidates, we’re equipped to provide video conferencing for the interview process directly from our office.  There will be an open house after the New Year begins and final touches are complete.

A Tin of Fun – Get Yours Now!

One of our wonderful clients shared his creativity with our Tri-Star Search Signature Mints:

As you know, working long hours can mess with your mind.......

Earlier this week, after my 3rd 12-hour day in a row I found myself using the Tri-Star mints from the tin as little toy soldiers scooting across my desk. Then they were football players, blocking and running for touchdowns. About the time I set up ten of them to use as bowling pins, I realized it was time to go home and get some sleep.

I wanted to thank you for providing me with a" tin" of infinite fun.

'Twas The Night Before Christmas - Computer Version

Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the shop,
The computers were whirring; they never do stop.
The power was on and the temperature right,
In hopes that the input would feed back that night.

The system was ready, the program was coded,
And memory drums had been carefully loaded;
While adding a Christmasy glow to the scene,
The lights on the console, flashed red, white and green.

When out in the hall there arose such a clatter,
The programmer ran to see what was the matter.
Away to the hallway he flew like a flash,
Forgetting his key in his curious dash.
He stood in the hallway and looked all about,
When the door slammed behind him, and he was locked out.

Then, in the computer room what should appear,
But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer;
And a little old man, who with scarcely a pause,
Chuckled: "My name is Santa...the last name is Claus."

The computer was startled, confused by the name,
Then it buzzed as it heard the old fellow exclaim:
"This is Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen,
And Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen."

With all these odd names, it was puzzled anew;
It hummed and it clanked, and a main circuit blew.
It searched in its memory core, trying to "think";
Then the multi-line printer went out on the blink.

Unable to do its electronic job,
It said in a voice that was almost a sob:
"Your eyes - how they twinkle - your dimples so merry,
Your cheeks so like roses, your nose like a cherry,

Your smile - all these things, I've been programmed to know,
And at data-recall, I am more than so-so;
But your name and your address (computers can't lie),
Are things that I just cannot identify.

You've a jolly old face and a little round belly,
That shakes when you laugh like a bowl full of jelly;
My scanners can see you, but still I insist,
Since you're not in my program, you cannot exist!"

Old Santa just chuckled a merry "ho, ho",
And sat down to type out a quick word or so.
The keyboard clack-clattered, its sound sharp and clean,
As Santa fed this "data" into the machine:

"Kids everywhere know me; I come every year;
The presents I bring add to everyone's cheer;
But you won't get anything - that's plain to see;
Too bad your programmers forgot about me."

Then he faced the machine and said with a shrug,
"Merry Christmas to All," as he pulled out its plug,
"And to all, a good night!"
