Lisa Mason stood outside a Chicago restaurant at 9:15 a.m. on a recent sunny Monday, where she would continue to wait for two hours. She wasn't there for breakfast. She was there to get a $1 burrito.

  • Sonia Postema had my best interest at heart!

    Sonia Postema reached out to me via LinkedIn, and she has been absolutely AMAZING. She was very communicative through the entire process, understood my background and didn't just use a blanket style coaching like I've experienced from other recruiters. She has noticeably had my very best interest in mind the entire time, and it made me feel a lot more confident in the entire hiring process. She clearly understood what I was looking for in a job, and what the restaurant needed in their hire, and was able to pair us together. I'm incredibly excited to start this new career move, and am so grateful for Sonia for finding me and helping me along the way.

    So Thankful,
