 I just wanted to personally say "Thank You" for your help, hard work and professionalism. You are, by far, the best recruiter I have ever had the chance to work with. (And I have worked with many)

 

You really care about the people you submit to your clients. You take the time to truly know them as a person and by doing that you have a better understanding of their needs and talents.  It is only by knowing your recruits, that you can better tailor a custom fit for your clients, in which not only the client is satisfied but your recruit is satisfied as well. This is truly a wonderful gift you possess.

 

Again. Thank you so much for EVERYTHING.

I know we have worked with each other only a short time but I'd like to know what I did right and areas where I could do better.  A quick response to each question would be great.

1. What did I do right for you?
2. What areas could I do better?

Thanks,

David,
   You answered all my questions honestly and quickly.  You were polite and yet still straightforward about things you saw I needed help with which is something rare today.  I know you asked for an area where you could do better, and I'm not just saying this to be nice or flattering, but I really can't think of anything you could have done better.
Thanks,

As an IT professional, I decided I needed to change companies to advance my programming career. I put resumes out on the Internet to make myself available for possible positions. I was contacted by five IT recruiting organizations with possible offers. I have to say that Allen and Associates was by far the most professional I worked with.
We had a lengthy initial phone conversation where the recruiter asked direct and pointed questions, not only about my programming experience and skills, but also what I was looking for in a company that would meet my personal goals. Also, what I thought was an extremely helpful advantage, the recruiter over the course of a two hour phone conversation helped me condense and rewrite my resume to reflect my IT skills. No other organization offered to do this. He put me in touch with a company that was not only looking for a programmer with my abilities but also a company that would meet my personal goals. I had one phone interview and one personal interview and was subsequently offered a position, which I accepted. Now my career is on the fast track to becoming an advanced Visual Basic programmer. Allen and Associates kept me in the loop every step of the way during the negotiations of possible employment with the company. All I can say is for an IT professional using an IT recruiter to find a position, Allen and Associates has my highest recommendations. Not only did I join a company for higher pay, but also one that fits perfectly with my personal career goals.

I have worked with David for more than a year and have had a good chance to observe his style of management and leadership. He handles multiple challenges well and does not lose his cool while under pressure. David is decisive yet weighs all of the facts before coming to a conclusion. He is an all around nice person that can be counted on to deliver while getting the best out of his team.
