“Rebecca exceeded my expectations! Working with Rebecca was an absolute joy. Her positive attitude, attention to detail, follow up, professionalism and willingness and ability to offer coaching and guidance throughout the interview and negotiation process were all exceptional. She was also able to work with the prospective employer and I on a potential issue with a delayed start date due to a non-compete I had with a prior employer. She navigated and overcame all of this masterfully. Rebecca knew exactly what the hiring manager was looking for and coached me perfectly in my discussions with him. Rebecca knew precisely what the prospective employer was seeking in a candidate, and she took the time to listen and get to know me and what I was seeking in my next career move. My children and I will always remember the cookies that Rebecca sent as a congratulations for placing me with a fantastic job opportunity. She led what was probably the best recruiting experience I’ve had in my career.”
