About Turas Group
In 2010, we started Turas Group out of a desire to train up the next generation of recruiters who care about competency, culture and character in staffing. Turas means “journey.” We think Turas is the best word to describe the fusion of an employer and job seeker travelling toward that perfect match. Start your Turas today!
