Recruiting Director
Dennis is an extraordinary recruiter who in a short period of time was able to thoroughly understand our firm’s model and deliver top quality candidates to our organization. In the first few weeks of working with him, I immediately noticed how dedicated and hardworking Dennis is to our account. It is not unusual to receive an e-mail or call afterhours to discuss any updates. Not only is he a driver for results, Dennis is an absolute pleasure to work with. He is passionate about his work and it is obvious that he enjoys working with both his candidates and clients. Dennis is a great business partner, and we are looking forward to working with him in the future. I would recommend him to any company that is open to working with an agency!

To say Dennis is a professional would be an understatement but what really stood out to me was who he is as a person. From the very beginning, Dennis treated me like more than just a candidate. He took the time to understand me, not just my experience, and made me feel like I actually mattered in the process. At times, it honestly felt like I had hired him to represent me, even though he was working to fill a role for his client. That level of care, communication, and genuine investment is rare. Dennis is incredibly sharp, emotionally intelligent, and puts real effort into the people he believes in. He cares for candidates as if they are a personal representation of him, putting them at their best so they reflect what he believes it means to act professional and that says everything about his character and his standards as a recruiter. Thank you so much, Dennis, for truly making me feel cared for, talking regularly, and giving my family and I an incredible opportunity.

Dennis is a top notch recruiter. He has gone above and beyond to ensure that I was presented with the best candidates. His strong work ethic and endless dedication begins before the first meeting and goes well beyond after a candidate is in the seat. The care and diligence Dennis puts forth in each search is why I trust him in my own personal career movements as well as when I'm looking to hire. Dennis is super personable, cares about everyone involved, works tirelessly and I will recommend him over and over again.

I recently worked with Dennis to help me navigate the process of a career/job change and highly recommend him for anyone thinking about doing the same. I’ve been in the public accounting industry for ~15 years but I’ve really only went through the process once before so the insights Dennis provided to me along the way were incredibly helpful. I appreciated the structured and professional approach that Dennis brought to the process. He was very responsive and within a short amount of time was able to help me find the right fit I was looking for!
Claudia Leow
Finance Manager
Dennis is amazing to work with. He genuinely cares about people and wants what's best for them. Dennis is flexible and puts his clients first. He is willing to have calls with me during nights and weekends and help me think through my career path/options. He provided guidance during tough times and is a great listener. He's honest, down to earth, and fun to talk with! He is passionate about what he does and finds joy in helping people find their next role. Thank you for your help, Dennis!

Director of Corporate Talent Acquisition
Dennis was so great to work with when I was looking to transition out of my current job. He completely understood my busy schedule and constantly worked around my availability. He was great about meeting for coffee which made it easier for me to slip away during the day. He even sent me lunch on my birthday when he found out how busy I was at work! Dennis wasn’t pushy when suggesting opportunities and really listened to what I was looking for. I could tell he didn’t just send me anything and everything he had – he made sure to keep my preferences in mind when providing me with information on opportunities. He was also very helpful during the interview process and after. He kept in the loop and made sure to update me on any communications with the interviewers. Even after accepting a position, Dennis has continued to check in to make sure I’m doing well and enjoying the position I accepted. I would highly recommend Dennis as a resource to anyone looking to transition.
