Matt has been excellent. I love working with him on hiring and is always our go-to for anything that comes up on our finance team. We put a lot in front of him in the past month and a half, and we closed 2/3 of deals thanks to him being such a hustler and expert at what he does.

VP, Client Service – Marketing Agency
I truly cannot say enough great things about Katy. You are incredibly lucky to have her. We’ve worked with her for years, and she has an exceptional understanding of our company, and exactly what we need. She is thoughtful, selective, and consistently brings forward only high quality candidates who are a strong fit.
She’s also taken the time to build real relationships across our team, which makes a big difference. We’ve partnered with her on several successful hires, and I’m currently working with her on another search as well. I’ve also referred her to others on our team because she is just that good.
Katy is absolutely top notch, and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone.
Vice President of Sales – Manufacturing Company
Jon has been a rockstar for us as always.
Enterprise Controller – Security Software Company
Claire was very thorough in understanding both our needs and our culture. I cannot emphasize enough how glad I was to work with her on this search and how pleased I am with the results.
We initially extended an offer to another candidate who ultimately declined without providing additional details. However, my confidence in Claire was high enough that the experience didn’t phase me. She quickly regrouped, introduced a new candidate, and in the end, everything worked out for the best.
I especially appreciated the way Claire presents candidates and clearly explains why they may be a strong fit for the role. In fact, I even shared with her another candidate I had been considering through a different agency to get her perspective.
Claire is not only someone you want to keep on the team, but also, someone who could help develop and set the standards for how to be a strong advocate for both the company and the candidates in this process. Working with Claire was a very refreshing and extremely positive experience compared with what I would typically expect in a search process. I hope this helps clarify how highly I value her work.
Director of Inside Sales – Medical Devices
I’ve consistently been impressed with Emma and the quality of her placements. Time and again, she has delivered exceptional candidates in situations where other recruiters were unable to do so. What sets Emma apart is her ability to truly understand our business and our culture. At our company, we prioritize finding the right fit over simply filling a role quickly, and Emma fully embraces and supports that approach.
With our most recent candidate, she partnered closely with my direct report (who she actually placed about a year ago), and from my perspective the process was seamless.
When it comes to identifying candidates for our organization, Emma is our first call. She is a trusted partner, consistently professional, and someone I rely on with full confidence. My advice, make sure you don’t lose her!
Hiring Manager – Ad Agency
Katy Thieman was an amazing partner to me on this search. It was a long process; the first candidate did not accept our offer, but Katy never wavered in her pursuit to find us the right fit. In the end, the candidate we hired was well worth the wait and a more qualified candidate overall. I can’t say enough great things about working with Katy and Skywater.
Vice President – Financial Advisers
This is 3rd placement using Lindsay and SkyWater, and we have nothing but great things to say about the process, candidate pool, and experience. I am very happy with Lindsay’s ability to understand our business and needs, quickly locate a qualified candidate pool, and provide relevant insight to help us make a decision. Lindsay is very responsive and great to work with. Overall, I am very happy with Lindsay and SkyWater, and will certainly reach out to Lindsay the next time I need a recruiter.
President – Ad Agency
We love working with Katy. She’s top-notch. Professional. Relentless. All the things we love in someone finding talent on our behalf. As our business grows, we look forward to continuing to partner with her.
Manager of Legal Recruiting – Lawfirm
Rylie was great. Our work together here began with a long and candid phone conversation, and we worked together to close the deal. She’s a solid recruiter, and I’d be happy to work with her again. I can tell she has good candidate control and has earned our top candidates’ trust. This was a good experience on my end.
I worked on the agency side for 6 years and, based on that, I usually have harsh feedback for most recruiters. However, Rylie gets an A from me. I hope to work with her, and by extension, your agency, more in the future. Thanks again.
Vice President, Human Resources – Credit Union
Alex, Andrea, and the entire SkyWater team have been exceptional. The process was incredibly smooth, efficient, and thorough from start to finish.
I especially appreciated how intentional Alex was in taking the time to truly understand our culture, our needs, and the journey we’re on. His honesty and transparency stood out, and his follow‑up was consistently spot‑on. His professionalism was top‑notch throughout the entire engagement.
I’ve already recommended SkyWater to several peers at other organizations, and internally we’re exploring the possibility of a more formal partnership with your team as we prepare for future succession planning and eventual transitions at the executive level.
Thank you again for the outstanding support. We truly value the relationship.
