Read moreIt was a great experience working with Hamoon Piroozmand!
His professionalism and dedication surpassed my wildest dreams with meeting my goal of a new career. Hamoon provided me with tips and superior advice to be prepared for my interviews.

Thanks,

Mr. Piroozmand really cares and took the time to coach me through the process.
Hamoon Piroozmand is hands down the best recruiter that I have ever worked with thus far in my career. Hamoon did a really great job of making sure that the fit was right between the company I got hired with and myself by getting to know me and what I wanted out of the next company. His passion for his work really shined when I was going through the interview process. Hamoon was always responsive as well. I was also interviewing with other companies at the time, outside of the recruiting that Hamoon did, and applied the techniques that I had discussed with Hamoon, I got final offers on all interviews. I took the offer that Hamoon presented me with, even though the other concepts paid more because I trust the fit. Overall, Hamoon will ask you to do things that other recruiters will ask you to do, but there was accountability and follow up throughout the whole process and if you're serious about getting the job, follow his plan. It works!Sincerely,Kristin Barrett
It was a true pleasure to have such a knowledgeable, kind, and personable person as Hamoon as my recruiter. I appreciate his effort to ensure the job position was a perfect match for me and the restaurant team. I look forward to joining my new team very soon and I'm so excited about it. Hamoon did an outstanding job coaching, mock interviews, redoing my resume, and ensuring that I was thoroughly prepared for every interview and On The Job Evaluation. I highly recommend Hamoon as he makes job searching easy. Rich Etta Weathersbee
Hamoon was the best!
I have worked with different agencies in the past but have to say that Hamoon was one of the best in ages that I have a worked with. He was very nice, very knowledgeable about the companies he represents, he gets you ready for your interviews, and he checks in with you after every interview to find out how it went. I will definitely be recommending you to all the people that I know! Sincerely Jeffery J Williams
