I would highly recommend Chris Jones for your recruiting needs. Chris Jones was fantastic to work with.  He really took the time to understand my background and what type of role would be the best fit for my career path and personal satisfaction.  His follow through is on point and he genuinely cared about my future.             Sincerely, Tom Vahle

Chris was amazing through the entire application and interview processes, 10 out of 10.

He took his time to get to know me and really ensure that I was what he was looking for. He ensured that I had information about the hiring company to ensure it was something I felt I wanted to pursue. Chris also gave me some helpful tips and tricks in his emails about the interview process, you could tell that he was doing everything on his end to help you, it all just came down to how well you executed on your end. I would certainly recommend anyone looking for opportunities to reach out to Chris, the first possibility didn’t work out that we were attempting but he came back and nailed it with the second opportunity.

Chris made a stressful situation a really great experience!

Chris Jones was amazing from start to finish.  I have been with my current employer for 9 years and wasn’t looking to change careers at all. My current employer announced that our doors would be closing in 6 weeks. To say I panicked would be an understatement.  I received a call from Chris on Tuesday morning, for a position I went home on Monday and applied for.  He walked me through what the company was looking for and thought I was an excellent match.  He help me "upgrade" my resume, and sent it off to the company. I heard back on Wednesday afternoon and received an interview Friday, followed by a second interview the following week and a “shadow” day the next week.  Through it all Chris would check in and see how I felt after each interview and gave me great feedback. Chris sent me words of encouragement before each interview also.  Chris really made a very stressful situation into a really great experience.  I can not thank Chris enough. Sincerely, Laura Shafer
