Read moreEdward A J. says his experience with Heidi Lewis Ivey was amazing!My experience with Patrice & associates was amazing before I worked with Heidi Lewis Ivey and your firm I was getting the runaround from other recruiters. Ms. Ivey was very thorough and very detailed. She was always available for any questions I had. She really went above and beyond to help coordinate and connect me with the right brand that fits my career. With her help I was able to land my General Manager position with a very high-end company.
