Harrison J. says that Ed Carroll set a great example of how working with a recruiter should be!In my most recent, and successful, job hunt, I had the pleasure of working with Ed Carroll. 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!
Thanks!

Alexandria C. is thankful for Ed Carroll’s exceptional support!Throughout my career, I’ve been contacted by many recruiters through various professional platforms, but what immediately stood out to me was Ed’s approach. His initial message included everything I needed to know—an overview of the company, supporting documents, and even a link to the company’s website.
When we spoke, Ed was incredibly thorough. He clearly explained the company’s background, the role itself, and his part in the recruitment process. He was transparent about how the process would unfold and supported me every step of the way.
From checking in after each interview, to sharing key insights about the individuals I’d be speaking with, to celebrating with me once I secured the role—Ed was there through it all. I’m genuinely grateful to him for bringing this opportunity to me and for his exceptional support throughout the journey.
Best Wishes!
A Carswell
