Jillian has been the most pleasant recruiter I have worked with. Jillian provided timely updates throughout each stage of the interview process, and I believe fought for my interest with the hiring department. Thanks for everything!

Joseph is an excellent recruiter and a great person! I had never heard of Permanent Placements until I submitted my resume to LinkedIn for one position. Joe got in touch with me right away and wanted to set up a time to talk. We did, and I really liked him! I could tell he would find me a job or die trying. Joe then told me about a position at a firm I had heard of and was impressed by. He wanted to send my resume to this firm. I told him OK, and they reached out to him saying they wanted to meet me. Ultimately, I had two Zoom interviews and an eventual offer! In between the interviews, Joe made sure to get in touch and see if I had any questions or concerns. I am a nervous interviewee, so I went over my worries, and Joe & I talked them over. He was very reassuring and confident I would do well. Joe is an awesome recruiter, as I said before. He is everything one should be. When I got the offer from the firm, I sent him a thank you note expressing my gratitude. He responded back thanking me. It meant a lot that he took the additional time to acknowledge my thank you. I have been at my firm for almost five months now, and it’s a great fit! I will always be thankful to Joe and Permanent Placements for their efforts and help. It was a great experience.

Joseph had reached out to me regarding an opportunity he thought would be a great fit for my experience and an even better jump for my next career move. This was a position I would have otherwise never considered applying for. Not only did he help me along through the interview process, but he also always made a point to keep me apprised of all updates. He truly was a beacon of hope in the recruiting world and helped push me to see my future potential. Even after my start at this new position, Joe continued to follow up with me to check on my training and onboarding. Joseph continues to remind me of all the good recruiters can be out there. He does not just see me as a body to fill the position, but he treats me as a human with
goals and aspirations. It was not just about a commission to Joseph. It was about helping me find my happiness again and helping the firm find the leader they need to move back towards continued success. I know I have said it plenty, but I will always be thankful for Joseph reaching out to me when he did. He understands the roles he needs to fill, but also understands the kind of team player he needs in that role. It is not just about the tools one has, to Joseph, it is about the ability to use the tools they currently have in their kit.

Joe is a wonderful individual with which to work. He does his very best to place individuals where they are able to thrive. He has been supportive in so many ways. I have appreciated working with him.

Joe is a pleasure to work with. Within two days of speaking with Joe I was scheduled to interview at a firm in downtown Chicago. Within two weeks, I was hired. Joe was extremely communicative and helpful throughout the process. If I ever had any questions, he would answer them immediately. Joe is not like other recruiters who submit your application and then disappear. I truly recommend him if you are looking to make a career move.

I had the pleasure of working with Michael during my transition to a global law firm, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. His communication was consistent, clear, and genuinely supportive throughout every stage of the process. He ensured I was well informed, prepared, and confident as I navigated each step. What truly sets Michael apart is the level of personal care he brings to his work. Even after I accepted the position, he continued to check in, offering guidance and encouragement that felt more like the support of a trusted friend than simply a recruiter. Michael’s professionalism, integrity, and dedication made a significant impact on my career journey. I cannot speak highly enough of his expertise and the positive experience he provided. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a recruiter who is both highly skilled and genuinely invested in your success.

I have dealt with a lot of recruiters, but Joe Mayer and Ana Bird are truly outstanding. Many recruiters make you feel used or proverbially “pimped” and then discarded. This was the OPPOSITE of what I experienced with Joe and Ana. They overhauled my resume and taught me how to present an accurate yet upgraded version of my professional profile, while imparting wisdom on how to highlight the skills that key institutions are seeking. The experience of communicating and interacting with Joe and Ana was a tremendous value-add, as were the opportunities they put me in line with. This company combines big-corporation intelligence with personalized knowledge, coaching, and attention. A best-in-class experience!

Jillian is the best recruiter I’ve ever worked with. She listened to my needs, helped me with my resume, and gave the best pre-interview pep talks. I had a medical emergency the night before my interview, and she was able to help me get it rescheduled quickly while also being incredibly empathetic. She helped me land my dream job! 1000/10 I would absolutely recommend working with her.

Joe has been a huge help on multiple occasions to fill job openings successfully. He understands our needs and only sends potential candidates that are relevant to our openings. In addition, he is very easy to work with overall. Highly recommend!

Jillian is the best! She fought hard for me to find me the perfect position. She went way above and beyond the call of duty and stuck with me throughout the recruiting process. She’s professional but also a joy to work with on a personal level. Cannot say enough good things about her. A one of a kind

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.
