Delanie Sinton is the ABSOLUTE BEST!

I am the newest employee at a new and upcoming company because of the efforts of Delanie Sinton, executive recruiter at Patrice & Associates. I have worked with recruiters in the past and was hesitant to work with another one as I have always had better luck working directly with a company’s HR department. When I applied to be an onboarding implementation specialist for this new career, Delanie was the one who contacted me and explained the entire process to me and what to expect. I let her know my concerns about working with a recruiter, but she assured me that her process was different and that she would take care of me every step of the way. She made sure I was not only prepared for every interview with pre-interview meetings, but she always wanted my feedback after each interview no matter what the time of day to make sure that this position is what I still wanted. I never felt pressured or guilted to take the position but instead felt encouraged and positioned for the best outcome whether or not I got the job. Delanie advocated for me throughout the whole process from beginning to end. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a career in the hospitality industry or any other industry she would be part of the hiring team for. I am glad she will be keeping up with me for the first couple of months in the job in case anything goes wrong, but I am positive everything is going to be great because of the matchmaking process of candidate to job. I am excited to start work at my new company and I feel it was an absolute match that couldn’t have happened without Delanie Sinton

Sincerely Grateful,
Diana Browning

The time and preparation to get me through the process even though there was a delay in the hiring process due to a push back in Opening.  Nati stayed in constant communication with me, which was truly important to me.  Now I have the position I have been waiting for and couldn’t be more excited to be the General Manager of the Hottest New Steakhouse in Las Vegas!!                 Thank you Nati and Patrice & Associates!!
