- "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
- "Elaine was great in helping me find new employment in the Dallas area. She really listened to my needs and only introduced me to top tier firms and companies whose opportunities matched my skill sets and experience. I have been with the firm she placed me at for over three years now. I recommend Elaine to both employment candidates and employers."-Head Of Internal Audit
- "Having worked with Claire during my transition from consulting to industry and as her client as well, she never ceases to amaze me with her talent, dedication, and passion. Her council has guided me through, what could have been, very different moments in my career. In every conversation, she comes to the table with a level head, facts and data that help me through my thought process, and helps me develop my path forward. When I have worked with her for my hiring, she has consistently shown me the best candidates for the job I am hiring for."-COO
