You need to partner with a team that knows your business. I have been using Goodwin Recruiting for over 6 years. In that time, I have been with two different companies with different needs. Goodwin is the ONLY company that I brought with me to my current company! You need a team that is quick to respond. I have that with Goodwin. You could not choose a better recruiting partner!
Working with Goodwin Recruiting has been great! The team does a wonderful job presenting candidates well-suited for us. They take the extra time to not only thoroughly interview the candidates but to also review our compensation and benefits packages, our expectations and culture. By doing this, Goodwin Recruiting provides me the opportunity to focus in on my specific interview questions – making the process extremely thorough.
It has been a pleasure working with Goodwin. I’d like you to know that I spoke to many recruiters during my job search and my Goodwin Recruiter stood out immediately. It was apparent from the questions he was asking and the honesty in his approach, that he was who I should work with. My Goodwin Recruiter took the time to truly get a sense of who I was and what I hoped to achieve and then put me in front of the right people at the right companies for interviews.
