I had the pleasure of working with Veronica "Vee" at Pocketbook and from our very first…read moreconversation, I knew this experience would be different. Vee keeps things real while still being incredibly professional. She took the time to understand my personality and who I am, not just what is on my resume. There is so much more to a person than what can fit on a resume, and Vee has a true gift for seeing beyond job titles and responsibilities. She understood what I was looking for and helped connect me with an opportunity that was the perfect fit. Within a week of connecting with Vee, I was offered a role. I felt like I had my own personal lawyer in my corner! Supporting me every step of the way. I never could have imagined having such a positive and pleasant experience during a job search. I am incredibly grateful for her support, genuine care, and ability to see the person behind the resume. I highly recommend Vee to anyone looking for a recruiter who truly takes the time to understand you and advocate for you.

Cannot give higher praise to my experience with Friedman. The placements that they secured for me…read morewere with INCREDIBLE companies and executives, who I would never have been able to meet/work at otherwise. In an industry built on connections/referrals, they are able to open the door for you!

Thanks again Friedman!!

I've worked with the Friedman Agency during several different hiatuses. Jules would always look out…read morefor me for long-term or direct-to-hire opportunities and call to see if I wanted to be put up for them. I got a great job that went for many years from the agency. I returned to them recently during the industry contraction, and received some assignments despite the slowdown. Even while economic tensions run high, Matt Russell was my day-to-day and could not have been lovelier. It's clear he works long hours and never once was not absolutely lovely. It's a pleasure to have such a positive relationship for when interim temp work is needed and to make positive relationships working all over town.

Years ago, I applied to work with this temp-to-perm agency. I thought it was a very cool idea to…read morehave a temp agency that focused on jobs in the creative fields. I can't exactly remember what the job was, but there was some interest in one job I wanted and I physically interviewed at their Chicago office. (I'm not sure the downtown location is there anymore.) Shortly after, I ended up getting a full-time editing job with another company that I applied to on my own, so I never got to find out what the company was like. Fast forward several years (maybe a decade?) later. A couple of clients came and went in my full-time freelancing career. I'd randomly applied for jobs with this organization but never held my breath because I always seemed to be getting rejection notifications. (I don't take those personally. I realize there are hundreds of other people all applying for the same jobs.) But I'd been completing freelance work for about eight years and just had no desire to sit in an office again. I have had a handful of remote clients since the pandemic and LOVE(D) working with them. I decided to sign up for Creative Circle again after I stopped for years because of the rejection notifications. I found it was much easier waiting for invites than to apply on my own because the recruiters (obviously) knew what their clients were looking for. I accepted one job invite (along with a few more), and BOY, DID THAT MAKE ME LOVE CREATIVE CIRCLE! The recruiter (Liz) who I briefly talked to was nice. The HR and Payroll team are pleasant. Cesar (who I completed the interview with) and Paula Jean (Engagement Specialist) have been amazing to work with. And best of all, I really like the job and the duo from that company that I work for via CC. I don't know if I would've had this great of an experience a decade ago. All I know is it came "right on time" this year, and maybe THIS TIME was the right time. Even if the project is just for this year, I can easily recommend and compliment Creative Circle for how they treat their contractors. I have zero complaints with CC or the external client. I'd recommend them to anybody.

I met Michelle at a time when I was at a low point in my nanny career and personal life. I had…read morebeen looking for top nanny position and had been on many interviews through other agencies. It seemed like I had landed a few dream jobs only for it to slip away from me. Really trying times. Then I met Michelle! This brings a smile to my face. Meeting with her felt like chatting with a friend. I realized after that this is her skill. She loves people and wants to represent both the families and the nannies. It was a slow period and she didn't have any job opportunities at the time when I signed up with her agency, the perfect placement. After being on the hunt for my top nanny job with a kind family for many months and it wasn't happening I was getting ready to move out of state. I mentioned to Michelle that I'm no longer looking for a position as it doesn't seem like it's going to happen. Michelle didn't give up on me. She called me with 2 opportunities. I went on both interviews and was called back to do a trial for the one that I wanted !! Yay !! Then Michelle negotiated some time off that I needed to take care of a health issue. The family was so wonderful they waited for me ! All I can say everything lined up perfectly. Michelle will always return your call in a timely manner and she always checks in to see how you're doing. I thank God I met Michelle !

I looked at YELP and found Perfect Placement. I crossed my fingers and called. Michelle was professional, energetic, and so positive! She was confident that she could find someone to meet our unique needs and I was happily surprised. Within days, she had multiple candidates for me to interview and we found the most incredible woman, who has truly been the perfect fit for our family. We could not be happier. Michelle also assisted me in setting up payment services etc for our employee and it was all so seamless and easy. Throughout the process, Michelle was knowledgeable, reassuring and responsive. Thank you Michelle for everything! I cannot recommend her enough!
