I have worked with many recruiters in the past when my requirements dictate top sales and technical talent in difficult to find technology IT niche market plays. You really demonstrated a unique ability to understand the job and candidate requirements, screened for only truly the most qualified of candidates, and did a tremendous job in having these candidates be very excited about the opportunities for which I was looking to fill. Not only did this give me a great pool of potential new hires to choose from but it actually put me in somewhat of a dilemma in that it made the process much harder to choose among the great candidates available. I to date have never had such a situation presented to me, especially when the job market as a whole is very strong. It required true grass roots recruitment and you demonstrated great skill and execution.To top this off, the candidates I interviewed all spoke very highly of you in your ability to gather as much helpful information for them to have the best opportunity in gaining the positions I had available. It speaks highly to your professionalism. Thanks again Dan, I know that in the future when I have need for additional top talent I will be reaching out to you.\"- Hewlett Packard
