Read moreMina W. says that Frank Rondeau was incredible to work with!Frank has been incredible to work with. He is kind, genuine, thorough, informative, and knowledgeable on all accounts.
For example, he took the time to actually read through my resume and reach out to me very quickly after I applied. When we spoke, it didn’t feel like an interview, rather a genuine conversation to get to know each other, the role, and to see if it would be a good fit.
Through the process, he was fair, honest, and up front about all aspects of the job’s leadership, pay, and responsibilities. He answered all my questions directly, and if he didn’t know, he found out for me.
Not only would I highly recommend Frank, but I would happily work with him myself in the future. He is a professional and intelligent individual that truly cares about his clients and their prospective employees equally, and that is very rare.
Thank you, Frank. And to whomever this reaches, what he has cannot be taught, but it wouldn’t hurt to put him in charge of the hiring process internally if that chance arises. I truly wish him and your team all the success.
Merry (late) Christmas, and a Happy New Year!
Warmly,
Mina W, PHR
