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.

Matt Lopez nailed it!
I am thankful for the service that Matt Lopez provided on behalf of Patrice and Associates in finding me and matching me to an excellent job with an energy company in northern Virginia. Matt Lopez discussed the position and the company and advised me on the hiring process. Matt has the intuition to assess me the job candidate, and the employer regarding my personality and the corporate culture to make the match. Matt found a Company that has all the attributes that I have struggled over the past few years to find. I intend to do an excellent job for the Company that I am joining in October 2022. I plan to achieve my immediate objectives, the company’s goals and show that Patrice and Associated backed the right person for the job.
Sincerely,
Robert Chew
