In the many years that I was a prospective student, graduate, and now business professional I cannot say that I have ever been more thankful for the words of advice that I received while connecting with Joseph. After having the wonderful opportunity of chatting, not only did he provide me with excellent career advice but reassurance on what the future may entail as well. I cannot say that I have ever felt more confident in my future and true calling in life until having this conversation. Joseph is a well-rounded knowledgeable individual who evidently cares about the individuals he works with and goes above and beyond to ensure that he is doing what he can to ensure proper placements and candidates he may see as a good fit for positions. And if he doesn’t, not to worry – he will provide his advice and other alternatives to help you become the best version of yourself that you can be. Will definitely be reaching out again when the search for a new challenge or opportunity approaches.

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!

I would recommend Joe to anyone searching for a new role or a new employee. Joe has an uncanny knack for fitting the right people with the right companies. I wasn’t even really looking for a new opportunity when Joe contacted me, but it was the perfect fit! Joe worked hard to represent my interests and make sure that my transition to a new firm would be as seamless as possible, even when there were a few transition challenges due to timing. Joe was always available to me and so great to work with. Thanks, Joe!
