I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for all the exceptional support and assistance I received from David Kohlasch. His dedication and efforts in helping me secure a new job have been truly outstanding.

From the very beginning of my job search, David has been an incredible advocate and guide. His expertise and advice during the interview process were invaluable, and I am incredibly grateful for his support every step of the way. Thanks to his unwavering commitment, I am now thrilled to have received an offer letter for a new position.

Please extend my sincere thanks to David for his exceptional service. I appreciate everything he has done for me, and I am truly grateful for the positive impact he has had on my career journey.

Warm regards,

Said E.

Said E. says that David Kohlasch was an incredible advocate!

I honestly don’t even have the words to fully express how grateful I am for David. David is by far the best recruiter I have ever worked with in my entire career. From our very first conversation, he treated me not just as a candidate, but as a person with goals, concerns, and dreams for the future.

David went above and beyond in every single interaction — guiding me with care, offering encouragement when I needed it most, and making me feel completely supported throughout the process. He made what is often a stressful and uncertain journey feel exciting and filled with possibility. His kindness, patience, and genuine belief in me gave me confidence I didn’t even know I had. Also, I would like to mention, that David took extra time to make sure I had a full picture of the company I am joining, not just a generic job description, but insight to their culture and leadership that only someone who cares would take the time to do and say.

Thanks to David, I found not just a new job, but the right opportunity — one that I’m truly thrilled about. I can honestly say I could not have done this without him. Patrice & Associates should feel proud to have someone like David representing the company. He embodies professionalism, compassion, and excellence in every way. He truly cares and makes me want to go that extra mile at this new opportunity on his behalf for what he has done for me.

With heartfelt appreciation, Sam F.

My experience with David Kohlasch was amazing. He made our initial conversation easy and was direct and specific with his advice. He truly made sure that I was a good fit for the employer. David was supportive and honest, and he guided me with his years of experience. I have already expressed my gratitude to him personally, but it’s important for others to know that David is a rarity among recruiters. You are lucky to have such a professional on your staff. Thank you, David, for all your help. Rashaad B.

Rashaad B. says that David Kohlasch was supportive, honest and amazing!

I cannot say enough good things about David, from the first conversation to the last he was professional and knowledgeable about the opportunity. David checked in multiple times and prepped me well for the interview. I have worked with many recruiters that are pushy and just looking to fill their roles even if they are not a good fit, the experience with David was amazing and highly recommend clients and future employees continue to work with him.

Thank you,

Ryan M.
