Read moreErica B. says that Hez Butler was persistent, caring and his communication was unmatched!This was my first time ever working with a recruiting agency. I was always a little skeptical and didn’t know if I would ever be able to land a position of my liking through an agency. I’m glad that I did not ignore the emails or the phone calls from Hez!! He was able to find a position that not only suits me, but I can honestly see myself retiring from this position. Hez was persistent, not pushy, caring, not condescending, and his communication is unmatched. Please keep Hez on the team!! He is a huge asset to your company, especially since he was able to rope in a client such as myself. Lol. Huge kudos to Hez and the agency!!
Richard D. says that Hez Butler’s communication was top notch!I can’t say enough good things about Hezekiah Butler and the role he played in helping me secure my position.
From our very first conversation, Hezekiah was clear, responsive, and fully engaged in my success. He provided incredibly useful resources that guided me through every step of the interview process, and his communication throughout was top-notch.
What stood out most was his genuine interest in helping me find the right fit — he was supportive, proactive, and always just a message away.
Hezekiah was a key part of this achievement, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend him to anyone seeking a recruiter who’s truly in your corner.
Thank you!
