- "I really felt [Lucy] took into consideration my career goals when suggesting an opportunity, rather than suggesting just anything that was available. This is something I have experienced with other recruiters in the past. More than that though, Lucy was great to work with throughout the entire process. She was in frequent contact with both me and her colleague who worked with me through the process jointly, and I always felt they were on the same page. I was never left wondering the status of the interviews."-VP Finance & Accounting
