Bio
Sean G. McCormick
Meredith breaks the mold. Over the course of my search, we connected on multiple roles –each conversation pleasant and transparent. Meredith put my priorities at the forefront of every discussion and demonstrated advocacy of my best interests for each opportunity. Her approach injects ease in the stressful and turbulent period of job hunting. Not only did Meredith deliver on securing me my next challenge but also presented grace and empathy. I am thankful for Meredith; she is the exception.

When a contract I was working on was ending, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do next. Like magic, Meredith contacted me with an opportunity that fit my skill set perfectly. Not only did she help me prepare for the interview, but she was there every step of the hiring process and beyond. Having worked with several recruiters throughout my career, it is clear that Meredith found her calling. Her professional, confident, kind, and thoughtful approach makes her stand out from the rest. She is an excellent advocate for her clients, and always seems to have their best interests in mind. I highly recommend Meredith for anyone looking for employment. I hope to work with her again in the future.
