I’m thankful that he reached out because it got me out of a job, I wasn’t so happy at and starting a new journey! Thanks to Ed!
Best,

This was my first time working with a recruiter on the employee side, and Ed could not have set a better example. He was professional, kind, and incredibly prompt. He did an excellent job explaining the process and his role in it along with who the company was he was placing for and what their overall style was. Without Ed I would not have been able to land my most recent job, and I hope to have the pleasure of working with him again in the future!
