The personalized experience Joel creates for both the candidate and the client is wonderful, always ensuring that both parties are informed with regular updates.

  • I can’t thank Joel enough for his rigorous approach and thoroughness particularly in the early screening stages which resulted in a strong pool of candidates going into interviews. This resulted in not one but 2 hires!

  • Joel and his team were able to source highly competent project managers with the right mix of technical and business expertise.   During the process he communicated in a clear and timely manner. He worked closely with me and several of my colleagues to observe and understand the culture of the organization and what type of PM would be a good fit for the role. My hire is exceeding my expectations and has developed strong relationships and the trust of the team enabling him to provide strong technical PM leadership for one of the most visible and strategic projects in the organization.

  • What you did differently compared to other recruiters, was your level of involvement from the beginning through to months after the placement was made as well as your sincere devotion to the candidate experience.
