“Erica was one of the most talented and helpful recruiters I've had the pleasure to work with. She took the time to understand my career goals, gave me advice on how to communicate with employers, and always sent relevant job posts my way. She was key to helping me get my first New York City job, which is a feat in itself, but in a legendary architecture firm. My family and I are forever grateful for all her help.”
Collin Hall, Senior Brand Designer, Big Health

"Erica is my favorite recruiter, hands down. She helped place me at my first job when I was making the move from agency to in-house and was extremely helpful in helping me understand the new landscape and what to expect. She’s extremely responsive, which is invaluable for someone trying to get placed quickly. We’ve kept in touch in the years since, and I always reach out to her first when i think of making a move. Simply cannot recommend her enough”
