Bio
Bill Evans
Hugh and his partner Marc have continued to be exceptionally professional to work with. They are my #1 go-to when I have a need for new talent as my company grows. Each candidate they have provided to me has been vetted and screened so I am not wasting my time with "fluff". I will continue to use Vision Quest as long as I continue to have a need. Hugh and Marc are great people; I'd recommend them and their company any time!
Michelle Carnot, PMP
I worked with Hugh as a candidate for an IT Project Manager position he posted. I could tell quickly during the screening interview that Hugh had a strong high-level knowledge of IT. His questions about my knowledge of Agile and Waterfall methodologies were insightful and illustrated he knew exactly what the company needed from their Project Manager. After concluding the initial interview, Hugh did a great job coordinating my own schedule (I was leaving for a vacation) with the demands of the managing partners at the company. After those interviews, it was clear to both the company and myself that Hugh had found a great match, and I am eager to move into my new job!
