Read moreI emailed Patrice & Associates on Jan 1... Jay called me on Jan 2 @ 10am. We briefly discussed my resume and what I was looking for. He explained he had a few contacts that he could reach out to and give me a call if he found something. To make a long story short he called me the following day with a possibility, I expressed interest, he reached out to the owner and we set up a time for an interview. Basically, I was offered the job on the spot! I realize it doesn't always happen this way but...I basically had an interview with Jay...an interview with a client and was hired in 13 days! I know a lot of things had to go 'right' for this to happen this way, but none of it would have happened without the call from Jay...or his contacts. He listened and sent me info on jobs that were open that I might be interested in, not jobs he wanted to 'fill'. I truly felt that Jay and I were in this together and he was looking out for my best interest. His level of service and professionalism was impressive. Thanks to Jay and Patrice & Associates, I am starting the year with a new job that will allow more time with my family and a better quality of work/life balance.
Jay Gray was great!
So Grateful,
Jody Dean
Having never worked with a recruiter before, I wasn’t sure what to expect and didn’t have high expectations… then I met Alicia Terrell. To start the relationship I had an informative first conversation. She got to know me and my experiences and interests, and I got to know hers. Once contacts were made on my behalf, I had my first interview. Alicia called me an hour before and spent 20 minutes going over what to expect, what to focus on, and what to avoid. She did that for EVRY other interaction I had with them. She even reached out on my first day to see how my day went. Alicia went above and beyond all expectations, and if I ever need or know anyone that needs a recruiter, I know who to call.
Alicia Terrell was nothing short of AMAZING!
Thank you Alicia, YOU ROCK!

I give Jay a 10 out of 10!
I was contacted a while back by Jay Gray on multiple occasions regarding possible positions in my field. I was not yet ready to make a change but recently I reached out to him regarding a big move out of state. He was a big supporter and was able to find a position literally the following day. I interviewed and within a few days I was offered the position! I wanted to express my gratitude for the interest he took in me and the constant communication. He ensured I was well taken care of and that I was happy with the decisions I was making. He is a great asset to your team. Sincerely, Madelin Vargas
A BIG THANK YOU to Jay!
