Our partnership though our powered by Vertical brand will provide ESS, its employees and its clients a more robust service offering. We are future focused with technology at the fore front of our business model. The employees will have now access to an all-encompassed back-end service offering, this means their pay will be internal, streamlined, and executed through a proven process.
