Joe is seriously a superstar! I was in a bind to move across the country in a short amount of time but wanted to have my job lined up. We spoke right after I put my resume out there. I had several interviews within that first week and had a job secured within two. He really cares about the people he is helping. _I’m so thankful for Joe and his assistance & help throughout this process. He is truly an amazing recruiter that knows what he’s doing. _

I’m finishing my 1st month and it’s all thanks to him for introducing me!

She also made sure I was prepared for every interview and had helpful tips to make sure each stage of the recruitment process was a breeze.

Joe and I have worked together to recruit and hire the best people for our firm for over 5 years. What impresses me most about Joe is his passion for helping his clients and his candidates be successful. He truly plays as part of the team. He is also a valuable educator as it relates to understanding the market. Joe continues to take the time to collaborate with our hiring team and has demonstrated over and over his ability to shift with our business needs. Joe excels at communication and keeping me updated with any relevant information we need to make hiring decisions. Joe has made a measurable difference in our firm. Highly recommend.

Dana K.

Chief Operating Officer

I have worked with recruiters in the past, but none like Joe. The level of personal attention he provides distinguishes him from the rest. He has an incredible ability to not only establish a personal rapport but see beyond what is written on paper and ask the right questions. Patient and insightful, I very much enjoyed working with him and have already recommended him to friends.

Maritza P.

Legal Support Specialist

I’ve dealt with several legal recruiters the past few years and Joe was far and away the best to work with. When he first reached out to me, I was deep in the interview process with an opportunity I found on my own. While he did encourage me to at least consider the firm he wanted to pitch, he also provided advice and counsel on how to navigate the process I was already engaged in. It spoke volumes about Joe’s value as an ally to anyone looking for a new opportunity: he is truly there to help. I ultimately interviewed with and accepted an offer from the firm Joe pitched to me, and after starting that job I am confident it was the right fit for me. Throughout the entire process, Joe was easily accessible, and provided sage advice at every step. In short, he was instrumental in my successful job search. If a friend in the legal industry ever told me they were looking for a new opportunity, I’d immediately point them in Joe’s direction.
