I highly recommend Amanda. Her thorough and efficient recruiting process allowed me to secure a highly desirable role at a top-tier institution in a very minimal amount of time. Amanda took the time to understand my career goals and identify the right role for me. After only a few short weeks, I secured the role in which I sit in today. I’m extremely happy that I got that initial call from Amanda, which in turn has gotten me back on a career track in line with my short & long term career goals. Throughout the entire process, from exploring various roles to starting my current position, Amanda has been a constant source of support and I greatly appreciate her help. Working with Amanda has been a fantastic experience, and I’m grateful to have crossed paths with her. Thank you Amanda!

I've had the pleasure of working with Amanda during my recent interviewing process for my current employment. Amanda is very detailed oriented, transparent and takes her time in explaining things which was something I appreciated. Overall, I'd recommend her to work with if you're on the market for employment.
