10/10 recommend Nick Mastrovito!

Nick Mastrovito is the best Recruiter I've ever had the pleasure of working with!  He is Top Tier! He not only helped me land my dream job with an amazing concept, but he also got me the exact pay, with additional bonuses and a higher-level job position. Nick was also extremely helpful and informative throughout the entire process.  He maintained a clear open line of communication and got me directly to the correct people, no beating around the bush.  You could not ask for a better recruiter!  If for some reason, I ever need help getting placed in the future I will 100% be reaching back out to him.

Thank you,

Brandy McGill

Nick was so helpful and informative. 

I had the pleasure of receiving communication from Nick, with Patrice & Associates, informing me of current needs in Restaurant Management.  After speaking with Nick and hearing the details of what he was looking for, I decided to give it a shot.  I moved to the  states about 3 years ago and left a RGM position for my family.  Don't get me wrong, I still would have made the same decision. When I got to Oklahoma it was a little harder to find the same position close to my living area.  So I just worked whatever jobs I found.  Until starting the process with Nick in finding a new RGM position, I didn't realize how much I actually missed it.  He explained the company's background and expectations.  He even let me know it was rare for them to consider a person for recommendation that's been out of management for over a couple years, but he believed that I was great for this opening.  Nick was exceptional with communication, timely responses to any questions, and working diligently at keeping the process moving forward.  I have now accepted a job offer for RGM and have a start date with a wonderful, growing company!  The process took less than a month!!!!  Thank you Nick for refreshing my passion for my career and being there to lift my confidence back where it should be. Sincerely, Vinny Bagby
