Read moreDarla Donovan is by far the best recruiter I have had the pleasure of working with.
I have used recruiters in the past, but none even came close to the level of professionalism that Darla showed. She was very in depth with me regarding the position as well as the expectations of the company I was applying for. She provided me with great interview tips as well as coached me through the process. I believe she was very thorough in preparing me for the interviews as well as giving me a lot of information on the company itself.She has been a real pleasure to work with and I would certainly recommend her to anyone in the industry that needs someone to look out for their best interests. I appreciate her support and coaching throughout this process. She has reached out several times since I accepted the offer, just to see how I am doing and to check in on me. That's something I have NEVER experienced with a recruiter and appreciate her thoughtfulness. She also sent a card congratulating me on the new position! She is a wonderful person and a great recruiter!!Thank you for everything!Amy Kiker
Rick was amazing!
He never stopped working to help me get this position. I would not have this job if it was not for him. He walked me through every step, gave great tips and advice, and followed up with the company throughout the process to make sure everything was good. I will never be able to thank him enough for this. I will send anyone I know who needs help finding a job to Rick Kallsen with Patrice & Associates!!Thank you all!!!!!Chris Haynes

Rick was positive and encouraging and gave me the appropriate tools to help me do my best during the interview process. He was extremely clear on timelines and expectations and continuously checked in to keep me up to date. Rick was with me every step of the process and I truly appreciated having him in my corner. I could not have landed this new role without his support and knowledge! Thank you! Jennifer Saperstein

Rick was extremely helpful throughout the process!
I am very pleased to accept my new position. Rick Kallsen contacted me through LinkedIn about the opportunity and was extremely helpful through the process. Our initial phone interview proved that Rick was invested in connecting me to the new employer. He followed up with me after every interview and provided me with helpful tactics through the process, such as an updated resume, interview tips and thank you letter examples. I felt he really cared about my progress through the process and was genuinely happy for me after receiving the offer.
