What Our Clients and Candidates Say About Us
"She [Nancy] makes it look easy. She understands what the company is looking for and what skills and expertise each candidate brings and makes an excellent match. She has access to all the best companies in town and gives you the information you need to be prepared for the interview and does not waste time. I’ve worked with Nancy to both find new positions and to hire new employees. Every candidate she brought in had the skills to do the job. Every interview she got me, was with a company where I was a good fit. Even if another candidate was ultimately a better fit, it was never a waste of time. In addition, she is a joy to work with. I have worked with her several times. Both as an applicant and as a hiring partner. She is hands down the best recruiter I have ever worked with. She is the best in the business."
