TESTIMONIALS

"Both Alex and Andrea spent the time needed to get to know me, listened to my needs within my jobs search and understood my characteristics, to pair me with the right opportunities/organization and leaders. They each left the door open to discuss any concerns I may have had, gave great leadership and advice as it pertained to my job search and really showcased what ALL recruiters should be. I would 100% recommend them to anyone who is seeking new opportunity."

"Monica is a tenacious recruiter and amazing at what she does. Along with her high degree of professionalism, it felt often that I was working with a family member! She deeply cares about placing candidates in situations that will build their careers and make them happy. She knows the Executive Assistant role at a high level: I’d recommend anyone looking for an EA to be in touch with her ASAP!"

And in the end…I found my tree growing through the floor!"
