Casey was instrumental in helping me land my new role. From the very beginning, he was professional, transparent, and incredibly informative. He guided me through a multi-stage interview process with ease, helping me prepare thoroughly and offering insights into each company involved.

What really stood out was how attentive and communicative Casey was throughout the entire journey—checking in regularly to ensure I felt comfortable and confident at every step. He also played a key role in negotiating my salary, advocating on my behalf to ensure I received a fair offer.

I couldn’t have asked for a better recruiter.

Thank you Kindly,

Betsy C. M.

Megan G. says that Casey Chapman changed her life

 

Casey is the best recruiter!! He changed my life. 

I had the pleasure of connecting with Casey on LinkedIn while I was exploring opportunities to transition from a manager role to something more senior. From our very first conversation, Casey was incredibly easy to talk to and genuinely supportive. He guided me through every step of the interview process, providing clear and helpful insights that truly set me up for success. Thanks to his support, I’m thrilled to share that I’ve accepted a Spa Director position at a beautiful resort in the Florida Keys. I’m beyond grateful for Casey’s guidance and the role he played in helping me take this next step in my career path. 

 

Thanks,

Megan

Megan G. says that Casey Chapman changed her life

 I would just like to commend Casey and your organization in general. Casey was constantly active in assisting me with finding my new position, he was engaged and made me feel like I had someone in my corner on my job search. He always followed up quickly after every interview, answered any questions I had and kept great communication open between myself and my now new company. We spoke several times to prepare for each interview I had, and I honestly could not recommend him more to anyone seeking a new position. 

 

Thanks, and thank you to Casey again,

Patrick G.

Patrick G. commends Casey Chapman for being engaged and making him feel he had someone in his corner.

My experience with Brain was extraordinary.  I connected with Brian in mid-December via LINKEDIN.  He shared the profile of an opportunity, and it was appealing enough for me to respond.  We quickly began to correspond directly via email and text.  Once it looked like a mutually positive opportunity, we completed a series of calls and ultimately interviewing on property within three weeks which led to an offer and joining.

 

I am anxious to begin in a couple of weeks and I very much accredit Brian for making this happen.  I would not have pursued this incredible opportunity without his efforts and intuitive approach to matchmaking.
