Bio
Michael Y.
Few recruiters leave an applicant feeling appreciated and respected, and Sandy was one of them. Talent Acquisition often is the FIRST IMPRESSION a job seeker has of a company, and can play a big part in whether one would choose to move forward with the application. Throughout the entire process, from initial contact to onboarding, she kept communication open even after the first role I was considered for was not applicable. Then, while we were in discussion for the second role that opened two months later, to my pleasant surprise, she also had my best interest in mind while fulfilling the employer's needs. In an environment where recruiters tend to treat applicants as commodities, this was refreshing. I could not be more appreciative for everything she had done to ensure such a smooth hiring. More telling, a friend of mine who has known her for some time said, "She's awesome like that." Indeed. Thank you, Sandy!

Over the course of my tenured career in External Recruiting I have only ever recommended a handful of professionals. Sandy is among those few professionals! I consider HER beyond reach in ethics, morality and customer service. She runs a highly efficient and effective operation. She is admired by both her client customers and her candidates. We have worked together for nearly 11 years. Sandy has been a consistent high producer, fun co-worker and stellar example to everyone she works with. She is selfless yet driven for success. There will not be a more professional, fun and productive professional to join your team. I highly recommend her for any role she chooses to pursue.
