I've known Ernie for 4 years now. His combination of professionalism, intelligence, personality and his unique ability to sincerely listen make him an outstanding recruiter. He conducts himself personally and professionally. I shared office space with Ernie in the past. He created a very positive attitude for the several companies in our shared space. -Yaknow
