Testimonials

Working with Sonia Postema was a true pleasure.

She guided me in the right direction, she had the the right questions and was awesome with our interview prep. I carry the skills required, she helped organize them in a proper fashion to present and her guidance is a large part for my successful hiring for a remarkable career opportunity. She helped with overcoming those “pre-interview jitters” and replaced them with confidence needed to and have a successful interview. Her encouragement is second to none and Sonia is someone who can be counted on!

Matt Lopez was beyond impressive and thorough!

I came into contact with Matthew Lopez of Patrice & Associates after sending in my resume for a management position on Indeed. After we had a bright introductory call, he was able to streamline me towards a position that would be a perfect fit. Matt is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and professional in his assistance in preparing for the various levels of the interview process. His attention to detail and sharp interpersonal skills allowed my strengths to shine through. In addition, Matt is personable, empathetic, and overall a joy to work with. Any questions or comments I had about my experiences throughout the hiring process were answered promptly and thoroughly. I am thrilled to report that all of our efforts came to fruition and resulted in an offer. I cannot thank Matt enough for his guidance, warmth, and expertise, and highly recommend him to anyone in search of recruiting services.  

Warmest regards and grazie mille,

Sonia Postema had my best interest at heart!

Sonia Postema reached out to me via LinkedIn, and she has been absolutely AMAZING. She was very communicative through the entire process, understood my background and didn't just use a blanket style coaching like I've experienced from other recruiters. She has noticeably had my very best interest in mind the entire time, and it made me feel a lot more confident in the entire hiring process. She clearly understood what I was looking for in a job, and what the restaurant needed in their hire, and was able to pair us together. I'm incredibly excited to start this new career move, and am so grateful for Sonia for finding me and helping me along the way.

So Thankful,

They don't make 'em like David anymore!

David Hotovy is a one-of-a-kind gem, a true professional and a genuine person.  David reached out to me via email as he saw my resume on indeed.  He contacted me to set up a time for us to speak. This was no ordinary interview he asked questions to genuinely get to know me, and my professional and personal experience.  We shared some laughs, experiences, and some goals.  Within hours David had prepared my information to submit to the client and less than 24 hours after, I had an interview.  The day of the interview David called me not only as a reminder but also to provide his support and encouragement (5 star service) which he did for both interviews that I had.  4 hours after my last interview I received an offer and David was there to help me weigh the offer against what was best for my family.  Best part, this entire process from initial contact to hire was 5 days!  Thanks to David, I am happy and continuing in my career field with a positive outlook and a raise from my previous position.  Should I ever find myself in the market for a new position or career my First and ONLY call will be to David Hotovy.  

Thank you David for all you do!

My experience with Sarah Johns and Patrice & Associates was amazing! 

From the moment I received my first phone call from Sarah, it was a very pleasant and great  experience.  I've been involved with other big name  recruiting agency's and this is the best experience I've had!  Sarah is very professional, always in communication with me during the entire process, even after my training with my new employer she has been checking in to see how everything is going.  I have nothing but great things to say about her and her company for helping me through the process of getting a new job!

Best regards,

Jay Gray was great!

I emailed Patrice & Associates on Jan 1...  Jay called me on Jan 2 @ 10am.  We briefly discussed my resume and what I was looking for.  He explained he had a few contacts that he could reach out to and give me a call if he found something.  To make a long story short he called me the following day with a possibility, I expressed interest, he reached out to the owner and we set up a time for an interview.  Basically, I was offered the job on the spot!  I realize it doesn't always happen this way but...I basically had an interview with Jay...an interview with a client and was hired in 13 days!  I know a lot of things had to go 'right' for this to happen this way, but none of it would have happened without the call from Jay...or his contacts.  He listened and sent me info on jobs that were open that I might be interested in, not jobs he wanted to 'fill'.  I truly felt that Jay and I were in this together and he was looking out for my best interest.  His level of service and professionalism was impressive.  Thanks to Jay and Patrice & Associates, I am starting the year with a new job that will allow more time with my family and a better quality of work/life balance.  

So Grateful,

Jody Dean

Throughout the entire process Jaclynn Graybill was professional and always responsive

She was able to keep abreast of all of the numerous changes and stay in constant communication when a curveball was thrown our way. The interview process went smoothly and Jaclynn created a great relationship to get to know myself and needs in a short period of time. I would definitely reach back out to her in the future if I needed help with another career opportunity.
