Client Testimonial 1

Steven is an excellent recruiting professional and has a terrific \"can do/will do\" client centered approach. He has found and delivered several highly skilled professionals which have helped our organization improve our talent bench. He is organized, a very proactive communicator, and responsive to our leadership\"s weekly changes in priority needs and hiring. I find his fees more reasonable than most typical head-hunter salary-percentage models. I highly recommend Steven to any A/E Firm!

Client Testimonial 2

Steven helped me get the initial SDR team off the ground in Workvivo. He is hands down the most proactive recruiter that I have worked with. He understood what I needed, provided me with an excess of qualified candidates, sought feedback and just \"got it\", going above and beyond at every stage. I would work with him again in a heartbeat.
