Cisco Partner Talent Portal Strategic Recruitment Solution

At Horizon Resources, we continually strive to find additional ways that we can assist candidates in becoming more marketable to our valued clients. In 2007, Horizon Resources was selected by Cisco to head up a major recruiting initiative specifically designed to support their channel partner community throughout the US and Canada. Early on in our alliance with Cisco we understood the importance that training and certifications would play in the success of our program. Our experience over the last few years confirmed that most of these companies require candidates who are Cisco Certified Professionals. Because Horizon is a full service IT recruiting firm, once you have achieved your certifications we are uniquely positioned to assist you with your career objectives.

We are pleased to announce that we have partnered with Fast Lane, a global Cisco Learning Solutions Partner (CLSP), who delivers Authorized Cisco training worldwide and is the only CLSP operating in all eight Cisco regions.” Horizon selected Fast Lane as its training delivery partner because of this expansive, global reach and for their quality education guarantee”.
