Testimonials

"When we work with Connect Search, we don’t need to interview as many candidates because they identify candidates that are simply better suited to our needs. Temporary candidates we receive from Connect Search are notably more polished and a better match to the position than candidates we’ve interviewed from other firms.” – Controller

“When utilizing an outside company for a value added service, we want a relationship this is an extension of our organization. That is why we partner with Erin Cook. She is detailed and ensures a favorable experience for all applicants. Staffing agencies should make the process efficient, and that is what we experience with Erin and her team.” – VP HR

“Having worked with Meade Kelley for many years, I have always been exceptionally satisfied with the candidates he has supplied us with. Meade and his team are experts in identifying and matching skill sets with our specific assignments. I look forward to relying on Meade and his team for all of our future resource requirements.” – AVP Finance, Chicago

“When our company moved our headquarters to Chicago, I needed to hire a whole new accounting team. Toby Coffey did a really great job. He simplified the entire interview process for us, and never flinched at additional requests. Toby separated himself from the pack. We began to work with him exclusively and have continued to do so since.” – CFO

“It was a privilege to have worked with Tom Fox. Tom is a talented, dedicated leader. He has a vast knowledge about the Finance and Accounting industry, and is a resourceful and well connected professional. He has been a great mentor, and has helped me in making strategic decisions to advance my career.” – Budget Manager and Previous Candidate

“I am so proud to announce the next step in my UX Design journey – starting yesterday, I join the incredibly talented technology team with Connect Search’s client as a UX/UI Designer! Getting a chance to make an impact with a company serving clients in 60 countries around the world, and with over $880 billion in assets under administration... to say that I am excited is an understatement.”

“None of this, however, would be possible if it wasn't for the efforts of the super talented Megan Marker-Milenkov who was the one to find me and connect me with the opportunity that I would have otherwise never known existed. I cannot understate the importance of the support and guidance she provided throughout the entire process.”

“Brian is a true recruiting partner. He asks thoughtful questions, listens, and authentically represents our company to candidates as an extension of our warm and friendly work environment. We've worked on several temp-to-hire searches together, and Brian is always quick to respond in a positive and professional manner. He isn't just trying to fill the positions, he wants to find the right fit for both the client and the candidate. Brian is a star!”

“I just want to express a thank you and appreciate how excellent Brian Lunar is to work with. Not only his attention to details, but the follow-ups with the consistent open communications. Connect Search is by far above recruiting expectations which also made me feel comfortable in this time of search. You definitely have my support and recommendation not only for me, but any of my colleagues. I wish you all the Best in your future moves!!”
