He listens to your needs as an employee and ensures you successfully fit into an environment that is symbiotic with an employer. Lisa Sullivan, then the account representative at Cisco, touched base regularly to ensure I was getting along well. The Armada Group ensured their employees were rewarded when recognized by their clients. I can tell you that they are very generous with their rewards. Years after my engagement there at Cisco, Lisa and Jeff have still maintained contact. What is not to love about that?

I needed an out of my previous job and Armada has been there every step of the way to help me prep for the interviews and get this amazing job that I wanted!!! Everyone at my job has been amazing and it was an excellent fit! I love where I am and it's all thanks to Armada for making the transition so seamless. Alexsis Navarro and Shelley Baca are both amazing. Alexsis is my main contact, helped me prep for my interviews and set them up (all 3 of them within a week), then she checks in with me every once in awhile (after I started working) to make sure all is well. While Shelley is my go-to HR/ Paycheck girl. They've got my back and it's awesome. Thank you so much!!! I've already been recommending Armada to my friends, family, and colleagues. They are seriously the most helpful group ever! :)

Whenever we need updates or fixes, he handles them quickly and thoroughly, often faster than expected. Beyond his technical skill, he understands brand positioning and executes at a very high level. I highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for a top-tier, dependable website creator.

We had been putting off designing our online shop and website for years as we thought we could…read moremaybe find the time to do it ourselves...but as time passed we finally realized that even if we had the time to create our own online store, it would be no where near what we wanted it to be. That's when we reached out to Ryan, of Design by Milano. He was so easy to work with from the start. After a quick first meeting where we described our brand and aesthetic he followed up the next day with an idea for a template that was completely perfect and exactly what we had invisioned. The steps following the initial meeting were seamless and Ryan made it easy to work with our busy schedules. We couldn't be happier with the work and professionalism Ryan offered us...not to mention we are in love with our new website and can't wait to share with the world our beautiful online he created for us. We definitely recommend Design by Milano. We are so happy with our choice to work with Ryan and couldn't have imagined a better end result. Worth every penny!

I find myself much calmer (a lot less anxious) after talking to her. She never gives me the answer but really helps me discover what I am trying to do. Her experience as an expat gives her a unique balanced perspective on life which she weaves into her coaching interactions. She is an awesome coach and a wonderful friend.

I've used Peak Accounting for small business accounting consultation services for the last 3 years…read more Jason has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and steering me in the right direction during both the start-up phase of my business, and now during our growth phase. He goes above and beyond to make time for me when I need accounting/tax advice, and he has provided me with a wealth of information. He is very prompt in returning my calls and emails, and his staff is always very friendly when I call. I have another friend who went through 3 CPAs to handle his corporate taxes before choosing Peak. The other firms either had questionable business practices, poor response time, or not enough knowledge about corporate taxes. Jason and his team were quick to respond, quick to prepare his taxes, and very knowledgeable about his tax situation. I would highly recommend Peak Accounting.

Financial advisor Richard Burde not only answered all the questions I had but also helped me understand all the other aspects of my particular retirement situation that I had not even been aware of.

I own a fitness studio in San Francisco, which requires constant marketing. We used to market on an…read moreas-needed basis, not strategically, and our business wasn't as profitable as we knew it could be. I was looking for someone to help us establish a brand image/strategy that excited people to join. Bryce encouraged us get to know our clients more than on a surface-level before our first meeting, which has turned out to be the foundation for every business decision we've made since then. Bryce is methodical in his work -- giving us spreadsheets, handouts and homework. He's a great teacher in that he asked us questions (instead of lecturing) so we could arrive to the best marketing decisions on our own. Our sales are more than DOUBLE what they were this time last year, thanks to Bryce!! I could go on and on about everything I've learned from this invaluable experience. If you love working on your business and watching it grow, your time with Bryce will be worth every minute. It's exciting, thought-provoking and most importantly he helped us make a lot more money than we thought possible in such a short amount time!!!

Our Mother's Day Run for Shelter was fast approaching. It is our only fundraising event of the…read moreyear. When I met Bryce at a Pajaro Valley Chamber Mixer, I knew that our sponsorship package needed some attention...some updating. I'm an Executive Director...not a marketing/advertising specialist. When we first met at the mixer, I could immediately tell that Bryce's experience working with community based organizations and with for-profit companies was going to be a benefit to my agency's needs. His calm and welcoming personality is the final attribute that made me take action and contact him. During our initial meeting, we met all of our goals of the session. Afterwards, on several occasions, he gave in-depth follow-up advice. He provided easy-to-implement tips as well as guidance for new and potential opportunities. I deeply appreciate Bryce's consultation on our outreach materials. I feel more confident in presenting our sponsorship packet and in making a request to companies and individuals for support of our mission. We have several new sponsors so far. I believe that our easier-to-read and more relevant packet has allowed us to engage more efficiently. As my agency expands its opportunities to further engage OUR community towards ending homelessness, I will definitely work with Bryce again. We have a champion in Bryce...and I'm more confident in our messaging, sponsorship materials and strategy. I recommend Bryce, for his skills, integrity, enthusiasm, patience and timeliness, amongst other things...like results!

Jill created a safe space where I could release my doubts and fears and discover my innate abilities and strengths. She helped me to define my values and understand my personality type so that I could find a career that aligned well with both. She also helped me to figure out the logistics of pursuing a masters degree with two young children. The tools and resources I received in my sessions with Jill were invaluable and are still serving me today. I learned so much about myself and her guidance and deep understanding of the interplay between interests, personality types, and career goals gave me the confidence I needed to apply for the MLIS program at San Jose State. I just started the program and feel like I'm finally pursuing something that really matters. I know that I will be building a career where I can excel, find purpose, make a difference, and financially support my family. I tell everyone I meet who is unhappy with their current career or in between careers to work with Jill - even just an hour of her time is priceless!

As a creative INFP person who has had a challenging time finding the right fit with career and life-path, I appreciated that Jill took a really down-to-earth approach and tuned into my specific personality, temperament, and personal history. She's very easy to talk with and also gives practical advice on how to navigate career, education, and job opportunities. I gained a lot of insight into what feels authentic to me as I continue to explore my options. It was a great privilege to be able work with Jill and take time to explore career paths more in depth, something I don't take for granted!
