Katy is a thoughtful, thorough, and engaging individual who helped me locate a company that was right for me. Her attention to detail is second only to her professionalism and genuine passion to be the best at whatever challenge comes her way. Because of her, I now enjoy going to work each day, and her willingness to listen to both my employer’s professional needs and mine have resulted in a challenging work environment full of opportunities and rewards. My thanks goes to Katy for all her hard work.
Katy has provided me with such great career help over the past few years. Of all the recruiters I’ve worked with, Katy has consistently stood out among them all as being extremely dependable and helping me attain interviews at outstanding companies–the kinds of companies I really do want to work for. Katy is one of the very few recruiters I have recommended to a number of my colleagues who are looking for new opportunities, which testifies to her excellence as a recruiter.
Katy has been fantastic to work with. We are very selective about individuals that we bring on board and Katy understood almost instantly the type of person that would fit within our organization. Katy was very thorough in vetting candidates for both technical skills and personality before passing them along for consideration. I look forward to working with Katy in the future when needing to place a candidate.
Katy and her team did an excellent job finding us a good selections of candidates. They provided candidates which were well suited to our needs. They helped set up both phone and personal interviews, followed up with the candidates and kept us well informed throughout the process. I feel that Ashley Ellis is an excellent company and will utilize them in the future when looking for new hires.
The attention Katy gave to personality, talent, and organizational structure before placing any job opportunities on the table really showed she had a solid understanding of where my career was and where it needed to be. Her hard work and dedication allowed for a smooth transition to my current employer. I could not have found a better fit without her.
A friend of mine told me about Katy and how she was able to land him a great job so when my company started downsizing I immediately called her. I had been at my previous company for 11 years and was really out of practice when it came to writing my resume and interviewing. Katy helped get my resume in order and prepped me on what type of questions to expect during an interview. She was with me every step of the way and helped give me the confidence I needed when going into an interview.
After interviewing at several companies I took a job with a great startup company and am loving my new career. For the first time in a long time I actually look forward to coming into work and I have to thank Katy for helping me get here. Working with her was a great experience and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a new start.
Our company has worked with Katy for several years, in that time she has placed two candidates in my department. In both cases, Katy has been productive, effective and independent. She has sourced exceptional talent and gone beyond meeting the needs of a particular job description by understanding exactly what we want. It must be said that this is not easy, as our firm has rigorous hiring requirements.
With our previous placement, the employee turned out to be both highly capable and competent, with skills beyond the ordinary. With our most recent placement, the resume Katy presented matched so perfectly that we circumvented our ordinary screening process and jumped right to the face to face interview. The candidate knocked one out of the park.
I tried to interrogate Katy about her secret recruiting tactics and she said she didn’t have any. She claimed it was simply the culmination of an effective network and a talented team. I have to agree, but I still suspect she has got some magic hidden somewhere in the process.
