I had the pleasure of working with Doug Lockwood

Doug was extremely professional and was very easy to work with. He was quick to respond, made himself available anytime I had a question, and was always checking in through the entire process. He coached me through the interview process by sending over necessary documents to read over on my own time, giving pointers on the phone, and talking through details. You can tell Doug cares for each person he works with. Even after getting the job, he is still checking in to see how things are going and making sure all is going well. I would recommend Doug to anyone when looking to start their career or looking for a career change. He was a great resource to have when needed.
Thanks,
Tony

Doug was always there!

Doug was very kind and approachable when he reached out to me regarding this position. He was very clear, direct, and opportunistic. What I enjoyed about working with him the most was good availability. He was always there to answer any questions and he was very reliable. He changed my perception on recruiters and I am very grateful I got to work with him.
I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a job!
Respectfully,

Adam matched me with a great position!

I would like to thank Adam and Patrice and Associates for assisting me and matching me with a great General Manager position.  Adam was very helpful from his initial contact to my receiving and signing my offer letter.  I appreciate the preparation and professionalism that Adam exhibited throughout the interview stage.  Patrice and Associates continued to check on me even after I began my employment.   Thanks very much Patrice and Associates.

After weeks of searching for a job I was contacted by Doug Lockwood.  I almost did not reply.  Most recruiters I have dealt with have been worthless.  You speak to them once for a short interview, then you never hear from them again.  Doug was wonderful. He reviewed my resume and contacted me about a position.  He supplied my resume to the HR director as well as setup the interview.  Before the interview Doug sent me an email with bio info on the people I would be interviewing with along with interview tips.  Because of this info I knew the HR director and I shared a common background in the financial services industry which helped us build a rapport.  Doug also set up the second interview again supplying info about the people I would be meeting with.  He followed up with them and sent reminders to me to sent them a thank you email.  After getting my new position he has checked in several times to ensure the job is a good fit. With Doug I feel like I have an agent like an actor or celebrity.  I will be more than happy to work with Doug again when the time comes!   Thank you, Adam Thomas
