Read moreNauman C. says he really appreciates Darryl’s dedication and hard work!As you know, the macro-economic environment is murky, and in my thirty years in this hospitality industry I have not seen such an unpredictable job market environment in this advanced AI era, even more challenging to find the right recruiting firm who could help you to find the right fit, which would bring you closer to your personal and professional goals. I have worked several recruiting firms throughout my career, but I have never found a job through any of them but I must say; PATRICE & ASSOCIATES is a unique recruiting firm, I have never experienced such a personal touch with one on one treatment with dignity, care and respect. The person who made it all happen is DARRYL JACKSON, what a great person to work with, down to earth, great communicator, articulate and very well organized. He never left me alone in this whole recruiting process, from resume building to coaching, motivating and encouraging me to embrace new ways of thinking and leading to emerge stronger throughout the whole process of recruitment. His demonstrating leadership through coaching & developing, building relationships along with modeling a role model, executing inspiring behavior helped us to achieve our common goal, and his noble and high minded approach made an impact to help me not just finding a job but also a great organization, where I can build my great career and future ahead.
I really appreciate Darryl’s dedication and hard work, who worked tirelessly long hours even though non-stop over the weekends to get the job done. I’m very grateful and thankful for the entire organization, who made me feel as a valued client by caring through their act of integrity and compassion.
Thank you so much!
With Kindest Regards,
Nauman C.
