Like both ideas, but the emphasis should be more on the "Hire" part of the logo I think, based on my business being related to services for hiring. Can you do alternatives this way? Also, maybe alternatives with the other potential logo colors as well, and/or order of colors? Thanks.
Saw other profile ones with investigator, medical related, and also the 4 people in construction zone ideas - do you have other ideas utilizing icons creative like that you would like to try to enter as well. You can review my other comments as well.
