"Brandon is really good at what he does. He really works hard to find opportunities that matches with your long term goals and interests. I really liked working with him to find out the perfect opportunity. I would definitely recommend Brandon as one of the few guys out there who have your and companies interest aligned, thus to create a win-win for everyone!"

Edwin Jones | Assistant Resident Engineer | ESP Associates

"Brandon pursued job opportunities with ferocity and diligence. He put me in touch with a possible employer almost immediately, and continued to get my resume in front of the numerous different companies within his vast network of connections. It was obvious that he wanted to find a position for me that matched my criteria and personality, and made it possible for me to turn down offers that were not a good fit because we had other opportunities lined up. He communicated with me daily and continued to keep me in the loop throughout the search. I can’t imagine that there is a more dedicated and thoughtful recruiter than Brandon, and I will always reach out to him when a career change is necessary. Thank you, Brandon."

Andre Hawks | Principal Engineer | GeoStructural Engineering

"When I decided to start looking for a new opportunity I reached out to a few different recruiters and Brandon was the first to take initiative. Within a short amount of time he was able to get me interviews with companies that had opportunities similar to what I was ideally looking for. Ultimately I accepted a great offer and the process of working with Brandon was very smooth from setting up interviews, negotiating offer and finalizing the accepted offer."

Mark Gray | Principal Engineer | Rone Engineering Services

"I am not typically a big fan of using recruiters; however, when Brandon and I first spoke, I appreciated the time he took to understand our company, our business and truly get a handle on our needs. Since then, Brandon has delivered several quality candidates that have become great additions to the team. I highly recommend Brandon to anyone out there, whether you are like me or not when it comes to recruiters, you will see how much better the process can be when handled professionally and with such care and attention to detail."

Nese Tirki | Data Engineer & Software Developer | Morgan Stanley

"While I was thinking and researching about a job change, He contacted me, introduced me to a potential employer and told me that I could be in a potential suitable position at the company of my choice, although not exactly the position they were looking for. Brandon started the process by conducting an extensive interview, researching my knowledge, skills and proficiency in various programs."

"After each meeting, Brandon followed me diligently, providing valuable information and ensuring that I was well prepared for the next steps.

He really helped me take the right steps with his professional and sincere ideas. He really helped me to question my career goals and take the right step between the two positions I was undecided about."

"From the first day he contacted me to until the first day I started my new job, he made me feel more comfortable by calling and checking meticulously."

"Thanks Brandon!"

Raymond Hamilton | Port Structural EIT | Lloyd Engineering

"Brandon reached out at what I thought was not quite the right time. But, after a brief discussion Brandon provided a clear path to a better paying opportunity with a smooth transition into my new role. He helped me better understand my salary potential and to find a role that perfectly fit into my career goals and will help me develop in the ways I aspire to."

Austin Ray | CMT Project Engineer | Alpha Testing

"Let me just start by saying Brandon is great at what he does. At the time of his intial call, I was not actively looking for a new job and was I was hesitiant to have any conversation. I was comfortable where I was and the pay was alright. But, Brandon took the time to get to know me and understand my strengths and what kind of role and pay I was looking for. As it turns out, taking his call was one of the best decisions I've ever made as I greatly enjoy where I am now. I was also greatful that he kept in touch with me throughout the entire hiring process. He kepth in touch from my first interview to checking in on me after my first week or so on the job. He's awesome!"

Justin Anderson | President | APS Geo

"Brandon was great throughout the entire process and really came through for our firm!"

Chad Sayre | Vice President | Allstate Consultants

"We ( Allstate Consultants LLC) had a great experience working with Brandon. We appreciated the up front evaluations and work and in depth review of our needs and culture that is part of Brandon’s process. We are a consulting engineering firm of approximately 50 employees and 3 rural midwestern offices so chemistry and diverse experience and instincts are important. As a smaller firm , we don’t actually have to hire many new people but especially a leadership position managing our geotechnical , testing and laboratory system. We had not worked with professional recruiter before so we were quite pleased with the process and communications. Brandon worked constantly and communicated well, brought forth several very well qualified candidates over a period of months. The process didn’t feel rushed or pressured and ultimately resulted in a highly qualified candidate being hired. As we interviewed prospective candidates , we also felt as though the candidates were also satisfied and positive about the process. It always seemed like they all understood the opportunity and expectations of a smaller firm."
