“It is with much enthusiasm that I endorse Emily for the outstanding work that she does. I worked with Emily a year and a half ago when I was searching for new jobs. I was very fortunate to come across her way. She was able to find the perfect role for me which I accepted within 2 weeks of discovering the opportunity. She got me several interviews and matched the roles to the kind of work I was interested in pursuing. She is diligent, highly efficient, and very easy to work with. She performs her job with a high level of professionalism while also maintaining a positive environment for her clients. I plan to send many more friends and acquaintances her way and I recommend the same to anyone else.”

“Tony is an exceptional recruiter, and I had the pleasure of working with him at the end of 2024 when he placed me in a role within the luxury retail industry. The position was perfectly aligned with my background, skills, and interests—and within a year of joining the company I was promoted to a significantly more senior position. At the time, I wasn’t actively looking to make a move and had some anxiety about changing jobs. Tony was incredibly supportive throughout the entire process—he was present every step of the way and made what could have been a nerve wracking transition feel seamless and positive.I look forward to working with Tony again in the future and have no hesitation recommending him to both companies seeking standout talent and candidates looking for their next opportunity.
