The range of services is nothing short of astonishing. Besides all the services you can imagine, some, like its “Mystery Shopping” service that analyzes the quality of employer-candidate contact, are almost unimaginable. So we make no pretense here of trying to list them all.

Owned by media conglomerate Omnicon, Hodes has 80 offices in Asia, Europe, North America, and Australia. Its blue chip client list reads like the Fortune 500.
