Taylor Ireland
Kate and the leadership team at Evolve were amazing to work with! She was a great mentor and resource to someone who didn't have a background in accounting and finance, always being willing to answer questions and provide constructive feedback as needed. Evolve is a company that genuinely puts relationships and happiness of it's clients, candidates and employees above all else. I can't thank her enough for the opportunities she gave me to grow professionally as a recruiter, and highly recommend working with her and the team at Evolve!

Kate and the entire Evolve Partners team were wonderful to work with. Through their mentorship I was pushed outside my comfort zone and grew both professionally and personally. Evolve trusts that their employees are capable and provide the tools and support necessary for success. Evolve emphasizes building relationships over closing deals and prides itself on truly finding the perfect match of client and candidate. As a candidate, you can trust that Evolve looks out for your best interest and genuinely wants to see your career flourish above all else. As a client, you can trust that Evolve will provide you with A+ candidates that align with your immediate needs and overall company mission and culture. It is a rarity in the world of recruiting to find a company that treats its employees as a family while also delivering exceptional results to both candidates and clients, Evolve has done just that. I am humbled and honored to have been given the opportunity to be a part of this team and know that Kate and everyone at Evolve Partners will be lifelong friends.
