Alex P. said that Alex Pomponio was helpful, patient and intuitiveAlexandra was honestly very helpful and courteous, beginning with the initial conversation all the way to me taking the new job. She was very helpful, incredibly patient, and intuitive when it came to helping me decide. She’s an asset to your company and hopefully you will keep her for a long time.
Tamara Young says that Alex Pomponio was supportive and professionalAlexandra was incredibly helpful in landing my role as an HR Employee Relations Manager. She took the time to understand not only my experience in human resources but also my specific strengths in employee relations, conflict resolution, and policy compliance, within the hospitality industry. She connected me with a company whose values aligned with my own and where my skills could truly make an impact. Throughout the process, Alex provided valuable insights into the organization’s culture, leadership expectations, and current employee relations landscape, which allowed me to prepare strategically for each interview. Her consistent communication and encouragement helped build my confidence and ultimately contributed to a successful outcome.
Alex was very supportive and professional. However, we were also able to align on a personal level as I had some challenges. Nonetheless, she effortlessly listened and offered assistance which made this process even more efficient.
Not only have I acquired the career of my dreams, but I’ve also gained a respectable peer in the HR/recruiting sector. I am forever grateful for my experience with Alexandra Pomponio, on behalf of Patrice and Associates.
Scott T. says that the recruiting space needs more professionals like Alex Pomponio!From the moment Alex reached out to me on a Sunday, having found me on LinkedIn for a role that was an absolutely perfect fit, I knew I was working with someone special. She was proactive, thoughtful, and impressively attuned to what I was looking for. I responded immediately, and from that point on, the experience only got better.
Alex’s level of professionalism is something rarely seen in today’s workplace. Her communication was detailed, thorough, and exceptionally responsive, often immediate. If she didn’t have an answer, she tracked it down and got back to me in record time. That kind of follow-through builds instant trust.
What truly set Alex apart was her energy and authenticity. She brought a positive yet realistic approach to every interaction and served as both a coach and a guide throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail was extraordinary, and her dedication never wavered.
I’ve worked with many internal and external recruiters during my job search, and I can say without hesitation that Alex is in a league of her own. While I was ultimately selected for the role she introduced me to, I have no doubt that had things gone differently, Alex would have continued to offer support and guidance through to the very end. She doesn’t disappear when the job is done, she shows up, again and again.
Working with Alex has also given me renewed faith in recruiters and the hiring process as a whole, something that’s become increasingly difficult to find in today’s landscape. The industry needs more professionals like Alex.
With much gratitude,
Scott T.
