Happy New Year 2022: As the world bids goodbye to a year to welcome another, people get together with their friends and families on New Year’s Eve to celebrate the joyous occasion with gifts, lavish feasts, parties and more.

New Year is celebrated around the globe with much enthusiasm, mainly because it is the beginning of a new year. It symbolizes happy beginnings, renewed energy and hope for a better year.

The past two years (2020 and 2021) have been challenging because of the Covid-19. Therefore, the hope for 2022 to be a great year is very much on everyone’s mind.

Here’s hoping that the new year brings us lots of new and exciting opportunities in our lives. This new year will be our year. Happy New Year!

Well not really new for Integro.  For over 30 years we have valued the long-term relationships we’ve developed with the physicians we assist in their career decisions.  We have never shared or sold our candidates data and do not place that data into one of many on-line databases that are the bane of individuals who are exploring opportunities.   Many of our clients were once those candidates who were once in the market.  They came to realize that our low-key, transparent approach is how they, as the hiring entity, want to be represented.  One of our Golden Rules is “If you help enough people make the decision that’s right for them, you will get your just rewards.”  It has served us well and believe it will continue to do so.

We have a lot to be thankful for this year.  We live in the greatest country in the world that affords us more opportunity than anywhere else.

Lets all be thankful for what we have and to help those who could use a helping hand.
