Client Reviews

"Working with Julie was great. I know she worked really hard to find qualified candidates for us and we’re excited to have our new hire join us. Julie was very collaborative throughout the process. I could give her very candid feedback on applicants and on our process. She was responsive, often taking my calls in the evening after typical work hours. When the first batch of candidates didn’t meet our targeted profile, she took the time to better understand what we were looking for and provided strong candidate profiles."

Managing Director – Private Equity Investment Firm | April 2024 FINANCIAL SERVICES

"Erin was a pleasure to work with. She quickly understood the job profile and found a great group of candidates for us to speak to. Once we knew we wanted to move forward with our top candidate, she helped us to quickly confirm his interest and successfully move to an acceptance. I want to also give Erin credit for being very flexible with our hiring process, as there were two of us on the CPM side involved from the beginning with various scheduling conflicts, and she patiently helped us navigate scheduling and follow-ups with the candidates, and always provided thoughtful recaps."
