Stacy worked with me for about 2 months to find the job placement that was the right for me. Stacy is just phenomenal at what she does, and her passion shines through in all aspects of the process. She does thorough research, provides you with options and is very open about the various opportunities and tries to align them with your own personal goals. Throughout the entire recruitment process I felt supported and was able to share any concerns I may or may not have had so that in the end I felt comfortable with the decision I made to start working with a new employer.
