Bio
Lauren Barber, PHR, CDR
Mike was my Account Manager at Aerotek and is still a mentor to me to this day. Before working for Mike, I did not have any recruiting experience but he was able to lead the development of my skills, knowledge, and influenced my love for Talent Acquisition. Mike is a strong leader and recruiting expert that has a deep understanding of the Environmental, Engineering, Energy, and Construction industries. It was a pleasure to work for Mike and I am grateful for our continued professional partnership over the years.

I've worked with Mike for many years and found him to be very professional, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. My office hired many of Mike's placements, and I would highly recommend Mike for employment/placement recruiting services.
