Bio
Sean Muller
Holly is a rare recruiter that focuses more on candidates as people instead of bums on seats money makers. During our meetings she showed genuine empathy for what I was looking for and has remained in contact via phone, text and email since. All my questions have been answered in a timely fashion unlike other recruiters who ‘ghost candidates’ if they feel they aren’t going to get a sale. Never once have I felt forced into a decision. I can highly recommend Holly for her proactive and professional approach and look forward to working with her again in the future. A thoroughly lovely person.

Holly is unlike any other recruiter I've met. She is a true professional. From our first phone conversation to securing me my dream job, Holly was there throughout the whole process. Offering interview prep, providing regular updates and even support through resignation of current job. She is realistic in terms of job scope and takes the time to understand what it is you want. I cannot recommend Holly more highly and have not been this excited about my career in a very long time!
