Testimonial – “Exactly what I needed to hear”

They say “timing is everything”, and a lot of career growth and progression can be attributed to opportunities coming at the exact right time. Part of the path to success and growth is simply a matter of saying “yes” when presented with an opportunity.

With today’s unemployment rates so low and the demand for talent so high, we recruiters have a plethora of job openings we are looking to fill. However, the last thing that we want is to try and force connections between clients and candidates when it does not make sense for either party. An experienced and professional recruiter has almost a sixth sense on what combinations of personality, career experience, motivation, and culture fit will work best in filling a particular role.

When we were recruiting for a unique Event Sales Manager opening, our co-owner Frank had a very targeted set of traits and attributes he was looking for. He found those in Ed, a candidate who was not actively looking but was open to hearing about something new. It was quickly apparent that Ed had all the “right stuff” and that the opportunity was the right timing and fit for him to say “yes” to. Ed had this to say about his experience:

Frank reached out to me via Linked In messaging and right off the bat he was speaking my language.  His message was exactly what I needed to hear to consider the position he was looking to fill.  He kept me informed as the process progressed and he maintained discretion which was greatly appreciated.  I was very impressed with how everything went and felt it was a very professional process.  He even coached me prior to the interview process and let me know key points of my qualifications that would be most relevant to the position I was seeking.  Thank you for everything Frank!

-Ed, Event Sales Coordinator

It was a pleasure working with Ed through the entire process, but none of the success would have come if he had not taken the chance to explore the opportunity. The details and positive aspects of the role were exactly what Ed needed to hear. His willingness to trust in Frank and the Patrice & Associates way resulted in him landing a great new position that has been an overall improvement for his life and career!
