There are not enough words to describe the man and the professional John is. I was in a difficult spot in my career and personal life. I thought I was done being a chef. Out of the blue John found me from an old application. I wasn’t trying to hear the same old spill that I’ve heard times before. Something in my gut said to stay and hear John out. John worked tirelessly and kept in constant communication, and I stayed the course with him. He even put his name on the line to get me in front of a higher up. Long story short I’m now in a better situation than I could have imagined. I will always recommend John to fellow chefs he wasn’t just lip service, John cares. And I appreciate him beyond words.
Michael B. doesn’t have enough words to describe John Gatewood’s professionalism!
I had a wonderful experience working with John to advance my career; he’s very attentive and professional. My first time trying to find a position with him was short-lived because the position had closed right when we moved forward. A month later, out of pure dedication to my success, he reached out, saying he didn’t like how our last attempt went and that if I was still in the market, he had another opportunity for me to look at. Now, John wasn’t just throwing useless positions at me to close a deal, so to speak. There was genuine effort to remember things about me that we discussed, my goals and personality, to present to me what would be nothing short of a perfect position where I and my new employer would be able to build a long term, positive relationship. I can tell Mr. Gatewood looks to place people where they will feel valued and stick around, not have you coming to look for another position in six months. If I have anyone looking to advance their career, I will definitely refer them to John, and I’m certain they will be pleased with the experience!
