My journey to becoming a Patrice & Associates Franchise Owner has been an exciting and fulfilling one, marked by a rich background of experience and a passion for helping others achieve their goals. My journey began at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee, where I earned a degree in Finance, and continued at Marquette University, where I completed my MBA. These academic experiences laid a strong foundation for my professional career, equipping me with the skills and knowledge to excel in the business world.
For 19 years, I had the privilege of working at a large life insurance company headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. My career there was marked by a series of progressively responsible roles, ultimately leading to my position as a Director of Software Engineering. In this role, I built and managed global Software Engineering teams, fostering a collaborative and innovative work environment. What I found most rewarding was the opportunity to hire, coach, and mentor team members, helping them grow professionally and achieve their potential. I also developed meaningful relationships with colleagues at all levels of the organization, learning the importance of effective communication and trust.
Now, as a recruiter with Patrice & Associates, I bring this wealth of experience and a deep understanding of organizational dynamics to the table. For my client companies, I am committed to being your Talent Acquisition consultant by learning and understanding your unique needs to help you find the best talent. I know firsthand how crucial it is to have the right people in the right roles, and I am dedicated to ensuring that your recruitment process is efficient and successful.
For candidates, I am more than just a recruiter; I am your advocate, career coach, and mentor. I will guide you through every step of the search, interview, and selection process, providing career coaching, resume writing, and interview preparation. My goal is to place you in the best position to obtain the job of your dreams, leveraging my experience and insights to help you shine.
In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with my wife and three kids, international travel, and pursuing an active lifestyle. These activities not only provide me with a well-rounded perspective but also help me maintain the energy and enthusiasm needed to excel in my professional endeavors. I look forward to making a positive impact on the candidates and organizations I have the privilege to work with.

Darryl Jackson went above and beyond to find me the right opportunity!
Mr. Jackson is a skilled professional who will make sure you have the tools necessary to succeed, from editing my resume, sending information about the job, and going over key interview questions. He was always available to answer any questions and was sure to follow up with me to make sure that I was prepared and ready for my interviews. Without Mr. Jackson's help, I doubt I could have found such a good opportunity in such a short amount of time. I have shared Mr. Jackson's information with current and former colleagues so that they too may have his resources and expertise.
Thank you Mr. Jackson and Patrice & Associates.
Best regards,

I would say that Darryl Jackson was very professional and helped me in all aspects of my job search. Darryl took my resume and made it more attractive and appealing, he was also very attentive to my needs and what my expectations were. What I feel was a key part of the success in our relationship was the constant communication on his part. Darryl makes it his business to know his client and always speaks to you in a positive manner. He tries to make you see the good aspects of each individual employer. In the future if I would need to seek other employment I truly believe I would look for his availability.Thanks,

Darryl Jackson is phenomenal as a recruiter, but I also use him as a resource and mentor for my careerDarryl is phenomenal as a recruiter, but I also use him as a resource and mentor for my career
I have been in the restaurant industry for over 20 years and have met and worked with a number of recruiters over those years. Darryl is by far the best recruiter I have ever worked with. He has a level of professionalism that is unmatched. In every interview and every step of the way through my hiring process, I was fully prepared thanks to Darryl. He was available to answer all questions, prepare me for the process and build my confidence during it. I am happy to announce that I have accepted a dream position that would have not been possible without the help of Darryl. The preparation and professionalism as I mentioned is unmatched by any recruiter I’ve ever worked with but the thing that separates Darryl as the best in the industry is his integrity. He genuinely wanted the best position for me as a client and it never felt as if he was trying to sell me a position. He was simply trying to do what was best for my career and my development. I have put him in touch with a number of my peers in this industry because I believe he will always do the right thing and put any person he works with in a position to succeed. Darryl gave me an opportunity to get offered and accept a position that is life changing for myself and my family. I would recommend any manager in our industry, at any level, to work with Darryl.-John Swenson
