Rollis Fontenot III has been in the recruitment industry since 2004 and in sales since 1988. He began his career in retail sales and moved into financial services from 1996-2004, working Merrill Lynch, WMA (now known as WFG) and HR Block Financial Advisors.

In 2004 Fontenot moved to the recruitment industry working for Alliance Recruiting Resources, a locum tenens and permanent recruiting firm for physicians and advanced practice nurses (CRNA's). After becoming a top producing recruiter in his first year in the business, he was promoted to Divisional Manager, Director of Anesthesia Placement.

While serving as Divisional Manager, Director of Anesthesia Placement, and Anesthesia Recruiter, his department and the company enjoyed rapid growth by offering the highest level of service to our clients and medical providers. His team was very excited to have tripled their revenue in a period of only 4 years from 2005-2008.

Fontenot wrote a book entitled, "Go Out and Sell Something" in 2009 and left Alliance to pursue a sales coaching business and start a healthcare executive career website called Recruit Hospital Executives.com. The website grew to a full recruitment agency for healthcare executives, and quickly expanded to other areas of healthcare and eventually touching on real estate and HR recruitment.

Today, as President of Ascend HR Corp (formerly Recruit Hospital Executives.com, Inc), his company serves clients nationwide on either a RPO (recruitment process outsourcing), retained executive search or contingency basis with their talent acquisition and HR (human resources) service needs. He is also President of Rollis Fontenot INC which invests in recruitment and HR services firms.
