“Great follow up and discussions. I thought that David did a good job with prepping me on the meetings/interviews.”

Brooke M.

“David provided accurate and helpful information about the company and position. David communicated with me by email, phone and text and ensured I have accurate and timely information. David was able to secure additional compensation above my original ask. David was extremely professional and just overall assisted in a smooth recruiting process.”

Mirra S.

“I feel that David was a real advocate for me during the process. He was very transparent about the challenges of the company and what they were looking for which allowed me to have great conversations and ask appropriate questions. He was very prompt with responses and feedback.”

Heather B.

“Scott treated me like a person. He didn’t just throw a job out to me – he knew his client and he got to know me and decided what would be a good fit. It wasn’t only about a commission for him. He went above and beyond to get me excited about his client and the position, but then went even further to provide me with extra information about the town I would be relocating to. He was informative but not pushy. He wasn’t worried about whether his client reached out to me directly in the final stages of negotiations, as I have had other recruiters caution me about that because they were worried they wouldn’t get their cut. He showed tremendous initiative by hearing about my previous company’s layoffs and reaching out to me directly to see if I was affected, which I was. I got to know him as a person; to trust him and his judgment, without him having to be anything other than honest and himself. Scott Wedel was literally the best recruiter I have ever worked with and I will maintain contact with him in the future. He even sent me a congrats card on my new position. He handled the entire relationship professionally and with poise, adding a human touch to it. I am so grateful for Scott and his patience through this whole experience.”
