Matt Costello was the reason why I was able to landed so many interview opportunities with amazing companies (Facebook and OpenTable were just couple of them) when I moved to San Francisco. I have been in the Bay Area for a little over a year now, and Matt is the only recruiter that I still in contact with. I recently had an opportunity to work with CV Partners through Matt's help. The recruiters who helped me found my current position were Eoin O' Toole and Joseph Toney (I am in both IT and Finance); they worked very patiently with me and always responded my email within 48 hours, and I love my current job thanks to their help. I highly recommend CV Partners to anyone who is looking for a career change. read more

Unprofessional. Waste of people's time, condescending, misrepresentations and deceptions - that was my experience with them. Funny, the comment about their bios/pics is right on.....hilarious! read more

Horrible recruiting firm. I would give them a negative score if Yelp would allow me. Overall lack of communication and follow through throughout the process was horrendous. I was put intouch with Nancy Baltzer, the founder. Her customer service style is indicative of the tone at the top and projects the overall lack of concern for the candidate throughout the firm. Nancy would miss scheduled meetings. She would not follow-up on voicemails or emails. The firm as a whole would forget to distribute important information prior to the interview. If I reminded them I was still waiting for something, a curt, rude response was the norm. If I actually did get Nancy or someone on the phone, they provide no value add. When I had simple preparation questions for interviews, I would receive snarky comments such as "I should start charging you for questions". It was just an overall bad experience. The worst in any job search experience I have had and by far the worst external recruiting firm I have interfaced with. CV Partners appears to provide no benefit to the candidate and does not seem to be concerned with providing customer care to the candidate side of the process. The kicker. A company was hiring for 2 positions; manager and as sociate. I told CV that I believe manager was the proper position given my experience and skill set. CV presented me at the associate level. Hiring firm's response after interviews? Overqualified. Thanks CV partners. read more

Great recruiting firm and very professional. They took plenty of time to meet with me and discuss what I was looking for. Even though I decided not to make a job switch, they still check up on me every now and then. Definitely keep them in mind if your looking for a new job. read more

CV Partners does call me for potential opportunities that seem to be a fit for my resume. The reason I have high hopes for CV Partners to eventually place me at a company that is a good fit, is because I have worked before with the person that is representing me from their office...once I am placed I'm confident that I would rate them 5 stars! read more

These guys are awesome. Although I didn't end up taking a job through them, my experience with CV Partners throughout my job search was excellent. Honore Siri and Aron Walker were so nice and always on the lookout for openings for me :)!!! read more

CV Partners and their people are solid, professional and personable. It is a first class firm for finance professionals looking for the best fit. Anneli Woodland makes you feel comfortable and communicates well every step of the way. You won't go wrong here. read more

My overall experience working with CVPartners has been wonderful. I have primarily worked with Michael Piacente and Eoin O'Toole and it has been a pleasure working with both of them. They are very professional in their approach and with all the contacts in the bay area, are able to get the work done in a very timely manner to your full satisfaction. I have known Michael for about 5 years now and he was very instrumental in getting me my first full time position at an end client after working as a consultant for about 10 years. Luckily for me, Michael had worked with the hiring manager in the past and before I knew, I was interviewing with the client and a full time position was offered to me. Michael is very good at keeping in touch with his candidates and doesn't hesitate in contacting if the right opportunity comes along. I worked with Michael the second time around 9 months ago and this was for a team lead position with one of the top chip companies in the bay area. Both Michael and Eoin were very diligent in getting me the position. Because of their client relationship, the hiring managers have a very positive view of the candidates even before they meet them in person and this makes the job on hand easy. I will absolutely recommend CVPartners to anyone in the bay area who is out there wanting to make a job change. If you go with CVPartners you won't go wrong. read more

I've worked with Monica Severyn at CV Partners for over four years, including when she worked at another recruiting firm in the South Bay. She has always been professional and only contacted me about consulting opportunities which were always great fit. I have appreciated she has never wasted my time. Recently she referred me to another recruiter at her firm, Aron Walker, for a consulting position with a great company that I would have never found on my own. Both women are caring and stay in touch with both the consultant and client to ensure assignments are going well for both parties. It is not easy in this economy to find recruiters of this quality. read more

CV Partners couldn't find me anything because they specialize in high end positions such as CFO, CEO, Fund Accountants, etc. But they told me several good resources and even told me of several people that were competent in the recruiting industry to contact. They did this all knowing they wouldn't get a fee. Their office was very clean modern and they responded to emails in very a quick manner. I can't say any of this about dozens of other staffing firms in the SF area. There is a reason the reviews are all negative, it's because they are true. read more

I contacted CV Partners about 8 weeks ago. They reviewed my resume and said it was great and even called and check references and called me to let me know they were outstanding. Each week I check in and email the recruiter who I met with in SF and she has nothing for me. When I met with her she told me that they had a few pages of open positions to fill in my field but yet all of the sudden she has nothing. Apparently, candidates are nothing but seat fillers for these recruiters. They promise you the world but they are no different or better than all the other staffing firms. They could care less if they find you a job. read more

I would agree. THey are a bunch of high performing people here but they are really a waste of a candidates time. They are quite snotty. They judge you & they have no class. Really, just interested in themselves so they can take their lovely glossy pictures and post them to their websites.. If you've ever since thier website.. please - they people pride themselves on looks.. and their glossy, smoke and mirrors studio glamour pics. .. that is not recruiting that is wanna be glamour model - I encourage you all to look at thier website you will laugh! read more

Matt Costello was a great resource for me at CV Partners in San Francisco. He has a strong background in financial services before moving over to the recruiting industry. I'm sure anybody who talks to him will know he is a competent recruiter who will land you the opportunity you are looking for. read more

I've been with CV Partners for a little over 5 years and they have only found me one position. I contacted them last year when I was layed off and they assured me that they would keep me in the loop about "any oppportunities that fit my background". Every time I tried calling or emailing my recruiter (M.P.) I would either get her voicemail or no response to my email. And when I tried to change recruiters because I felt the one I wasdealing with wasn't helping me I was told I couldn't change.That they all shared potential jobs and clients with each other. Well that is a lie. Friends of mine who use CV Partners as well would pass info onto me about job opportunities that they received from their recruiters at CV Partners. A lot of these jobs "fit my background." When I would email or call my recruiter she would not call or email me back. l think they need to look at the job search process from the candidates perspective and ask themselves " is this how I would want to be treated by my recruiter?" And if they were really honest with themselves then the answer would definitely be "no". read more
