Milton Sallee reached out to me back in August of this year and at first I didn't know what to think having never worked with a recruiter before. Milton was kind, gracious and exceptionally knowledgeable. He helped me navigate my way through my interviews, hiring, fears, moving and starting. He has stood by me in the process and been a wonderful resource. I would highly recommend Patrice and Associates to anyone! Sincerely, Liv Ashcraft
