Shanna and I have been working together for several months now, and she has been quick to identify high level talent for me and my organization.

Shanna is an absolute pleasure to work with because she is dependable and provides exactly what we're looking for in candidates! That tells me that she does her due diligence with candidates and that sets her apart from others as a top performer! Larry Mench, Five Guys Enterprises

I worked with Shanna last year on a senior level search, and it was a great experience. She provided two excellent candidates that really met the critical criteria we identified. She clearly had spent time qualifying the candidates before she presented them - she just didn't throw a bunch of resumes my way. Shanna effectively balances the needs of both her recruits and employers. She is punctual, manages expectations and is considerate of her clients' time. Finally, I found Shanna to be warm and personable. I am happy to recommend Shanna as talent acquisition professional. Matt Sullivan, Einstein Noah Restaurant Group

I have know and worked with Toni for quite a while, and found her to be both extremely detail-oriented as well as a pleasure to work with. She really listens to the needs of her clients to effectively match talent with opportunity.  Joel Bulger, LongHorn Steakhouse/Darden Restaurants

I worked with Toni as a candidate for a high-profile executive position in 2002. Her tenacity got me in the door quickly for interviews. She stayed on top of every situation with the employer and me throughout the interview, offer, negotiation, and hiring processes. She followed up after I joined the company to see how things were going and to offer suggestions on how to acclimate to the new area of the country. If you're looking for an aggressive, results-oriented recruiter, Toni's the one! Michael Furlow, Brinker International
