Glen Gagnon
I truly enjoyed working with Ashley and her team. The candidates she presented matched our needs perfectly. As we continue to grow our team in GTA / Ontario, I will absolutely reach out to Ashley first. I’ve worked with many recruiting agencies in the past and Ashley / Sage Recruiting is the best! If you need to find that diamond in the rough within the tech sector, I highly recommend using Ashley. She is awesome!

Working with Ashley and Sage recruiting has been a pleasure. She was incredibly responsive and insightful throughout the entire interview process. Ashley did an excellent job in informing me what the expectations of the position were. I never felt unprepared - and ultimately accepted a new position that I would not have otherwise ever stumbled upon. I'd definitely work with Ashley again given the opportunity.

I worked with Ashley at the end of 2021 and the beginning of 2022. She contacted me about a role that she was recruiting for but at the time I wasn't really looking. She was great in not pressuring me or going into "pitch overdive" mode about the role. None of the usual "Oh well, you don't know what you're going to miss!" junk that a lot of recruiters pull out. We agreed to keep in touch and when I was ready to make a move, she was great in putting me in touch with the right people and lucky for me, the company was still hiring and it's been fantastic ever since. Ashley also followed up after I started and after my probation ended to make sure that things were going well. Very happy to have worked with Ashley and I'd recommend getting in touch with her if you are looking to make a move.
