Ricky gets a new job at the Atlanta Airport!

I would like to thank Patrice and Associates, and most of all Mark  Brunelli, for their services. It was Mark who worked hard to open doors and  gave me great preparation tools for the interview.  I am forever so  grateful.  I was scared I was going to be a product of this economy and it  was Mark who begged to differ.  He and Patrice and Associates made my  career advance to the next level.  I would like to thank you.  For  everyone reading this, if you don't try this service you will be not only losing  out on your next…

Investigating Online Reputations

A new survey of hiring managers and recruiters worldwide finds some interesting differences in the way online searches of job candidates take place in various countries. In addition, the study found some gender differences as well as differences in perception between HR professionals and consumers who post online.   Below is an article written by Michael O'Brien of the Human Resource Executive Online.  I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to contribute to the article.      The report highlights a growing concern that there is not enough governance in place to keep organizations protected from possible claims of…

Outback, home of Bloomin’ Onion, to offer lean meals, too

Outback Steakhouse's parent company will debut some low-calorie entrees as part of its effort to make it through what could be a rocky 2010. That was one of the announcements OSI Restaurant Partners of Tampa made during a conference call with investors and securities analysts Wednesday morning. In discussing its 2009 financial results, the company also announced that it lost about $54 million last year, a rough period for casual-dining restaurants nationwide. On a positive note, sales seem to be rebounding in the last few months as more people venture back into restaurants, the company said. On Wednesday, new Chief Executive…

What Clients Say About Patrice & Associates

  • Clint Carpenter's standards of Recruiting are TOP NOTCH!

    To begin, Clint Carpenter was the ONLY recruiter I didn't get a generic template e-mail from. He actually took the time to look at my complete resume. In the first few days we spoke, he really took the time in our conversations to get to know what was important to me in a future job as well as what I knew I did not want. He checked in with me every day, whether it was to help coach me for an interview or just follow up if I'd gotten feedback. When I finally did get the offer I wanted, there was a snag and the paperwork with the company was delayed by 2 weeks. It was incredibly frustrating, but Clint called or texted me EVERY single day to encourage me and make sure I was ok as well as doing whatever he could from his end to help facilitate the paperwork. I never felt like I was alone in the job search process. Clint is professional, positive and you can tell he genuinely loves helping people. I would recommend him to anyone!!!!

  • Dave took the time to get to know ME, who I am, my experience and my goals

    Dave Evens has been working with me these past couple months as I transition from a restaurant owner toward a corporate environment.  Along with this, I'm relocating from TN to NY.  I feel that he was able to capture my unique experience in the updated resume he created for me.  Dave was great with communicating options and feedback from all sources. It was a true pleasure to work with him.  While we were unable to find a good fit for me, I am blown away by Dave's approach and enthusiasm.  I found a great job, on my own, but I do not feel that reflects poorly on Dave nor Patrice & Associates. When, again, I enter my next job search, I will be sure to reach out to Dave first!

    Sincerely,

    Neil Archibald

  • Mike Buterbaugh is genuine and caring

    I honestly didn't know what to expect from Patrice & Associates. Upon my first time speaking with Mr. Mike Buterbaugh, I was instantly put at ease with his genuine approach to helping me find the best fit for me overall in my next career decision. Not only did he coach me on how to drastically improve my resume, he also had me an interview within a couple of days. I have never had an experience quite like this during a job search, but I would definitely give 5 stars to this company and their recruiting team. I have gained a new career that not only met my salary expectations, but balances with my personal life as well. Thanks again for your help, and although I don't plan to be on a search again, if the need arises, they will definitely be my first point of contact.

  • Karen Horton was there, every step of the way!

    Dealing with Patrice & Associates has been a great experience all throughout. Karen Horton was great to work with and played a pivotal role in providing me with multiple opportunities to pursue. She was there every step of the way to make sure everything was going in the right direction. She facilitated communications between me and HR departments as well. I landed a great opportunity in very little time and would definitely recommend Patrice & Associates for anyone looking to pursue new opportunities and build their career!
