I had a great experience throughout the hiring process. The team was communicative, approachable, and respectful at every stage, which made the process feel both structured and personal. I especially valued the clarity around timelines and feedback, as well as the opportunity to have meaningful conversations rather than just formal interviews. It was a refreshing and positive experience overall.

I can’t thank you enough. Elizabeth went way past typical help. She polished my resume until my skills jumped off the page, made every section crisp and consistent, and tracked down every last detail for me. But honestly? The real win was her coaching me head-to-foot: from picking the right interview look down to how I should stand, smile, and even which words to use to hit hardest. She’s just not good, she’s the reason I’m sitting here now.

With real gratitude,

Harry R.

I want to let you know what an incredible experience I had working with Patrice & Associates. I worked directly with Liz Costa, and she was nothing short of incredible!

From the beginning it was clear that Liz was well prepared and very invested in me and my career. She helped me every step and her communication throughout the process was deliberate and extremely helpful.

Liz followed up after every call/interview and prepared me for success beforehand with questions and expectations so that I was never blindsided by anything. It truly felt like I had a partner there with me thanks to her insight!

I am very thankful for everything that Liz provided to me during this entire process and I can honestly say that her expertise and thoughtfulness were invaluable in making me the best candidate I could be!

Sincerely,

Chris L.

Chris L. says that working with Liz Costa was nothing short of incredible!

I can genuinely say that Liz is a true professional in her field and “expert” seems too informal of a term to offer as her talent is unmatched thus far in my career tenure of over 30 years.  She assured me that my resume deserved more than what I was even seeking and reminded me to ask for what I needed to further my career. Her diligence was incredible and I was pleasantly surprised when she texted and called me while on her own vacation.

I can’t thank her enough for all she has done.

Sincere regards,

Cathy M.
