I was very impressed at the professional manner in which Mr. Brian Martin assisted me in acquiring my  new job

I decided to put out my resume out there on ziprecruiter one night and within 24 hours i had Brian calling me. He was very cordial on the phone and assured me he had a position which fit very well with my experience.  I waited another day and Brian introduced me to the employer he was talking about.  I would highly recommend Brian to anyone. I really do appreciate his service in helping me acquire my new job.
