Lisa Jorge
Working with Laura at Providence was truly exceptional. As the senior recruiter, she not only focused on her own responsibilities but also took the time to ensure I understood every part of the process. Her dedication to guiding and mentoring me allowed me to learn the most important aspects of the work and grow in my role as a recruiter. Laura's genuine concern for my development made a significant impact on my professional growth, and I'll always be grateful for her support and encouragement. She is a remarkable leader and colleague, and I highly recommend her for any recruitment endeavor.

I was so happy that Laura found me on LinkedIn. She understood my qualifications and the needs of the hiring company and matched us up! She made sure I got exactly what I was in search of when it came to compensation and benefits. Her efforts landed me the best position I’ve had in my career to date. Should I ever need a recruiter again she’ll definitely be on my call list! Thanks Laura!!
