David knows how to find the right candidates for employers and the right employers for candidates.

In working with a recruiter you’ll gain access to opportunities that you might not otherwise know about. But, not all recruiters are the same caliber.

David takes the time to really understand what each group is looking for and what success looks like. This has many benefits. First, companies see David as an extension of their team which means if David recommends you, hiring managers will gladly take the time to meet you. Second, David is a great mentor and his in-depth knowledge can help candidates vet opportunities and ensure a good fit.

I met Dave several years ago while he was conducting a search for one of his clients. While the position was not right for me, he did take the time to understand my career goals and we kept in touch. Last year Dave told me that he had the perfect job for me – and he was right. Dave listened to what I was looking for and didn’t waste my time with jobs that were not right. During the process, he was very proactive in keeping me in the loop and advocating my candidacy. Whenever someone tells me they are looking for a job, I don’t hesitate to give them Dave’s contact information.
