Full-time employees we’ve placed say:
“It’s with full confidence that I recommend Jodi to fulfill your recruiting needs. Whether you’re a prospective employer looking to hire, or a job candidate seeking a new opportunity, I’m certain you’ll find her professional, reliable, and a pleasure to deal with.” -Jon Gottlieb, Product Manager at FragranceNet.com
“Jodi was instrumental in my placement in my current role with ESRB. She identified me as a strong candidate for a very broadly-defined position, prepared me for the interviewing process, kept me informed of the progress of the requisition, and followed up with me after I took the position to ensure it was a good fit. I have now been with ESRB for a year and the fit is amazing, I have found the position challenging and fulfilling, and ESRB is thrilled with my contributions. I can’t thank Jodi enough for a fantastic match!”-Christine McCarthy, Senior Software Developer
“Jodi Mayer helped me with her fantastic recruitment experience to land a position in a trading firm in New York that was very different from my previous jobs. Her coaching and advice to me for every stage of recruitment, from interviews, offer process, salary negotiations, and relocation procedure was invaluable. I truly believe that Jodi had a very significant role in smoothing my hiring process. She was always reachable to listen to any issues along the way and convey them to her client…Jodi also helped me in my relocation process which was not her responsibility. She introduced me to her real estate agent and gave me advice about living in a new city. Jodi is not only very professional and organized but also friendly and kind. I definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to have a smooth and stress-free hiring process.” -Shahin Farrokhnia, FPGA Engineer
Consultants we’ve placed say:
“I have been an IT professional for over 30 years. In that time, I’ve worked with literally dozens of recruiters, perhaps more than 100 … a good recruiter works just as hard for you as for the client. I’ve only met a couple of recruiters I’d call really good; Jodi is one of them. She’s clearly got my interests at heart: she’s responsive, she follows through and follows up, but the bottom line is that she really cares … she made it easy to consider her a friend from the start, and that’s how she treats me: as a friend first and as one of her fortunate staff of consultants second.” –Jon Pastor, Senior Data Analyst
“A heartfelt THANK YOU to Jodi Mayer for literally taking care of me every step of the way. I cannot name a single person with whom I have worked that has extended such conscientious care for a contractor. Throughout all of my hurdles and triumphs, you were there. I will never forget you. -Sonya Jones, Oracle SOA Consultant
