Testimonials

Pine Lake Solutions consistently strives to serve our clients with the highest professionalism. Below are just some of our testimonials from our satisfied clients.

"Hiring great salespeople is the key to successful management and can be the hardest part of the job. Over the years I have had less than stellar results when using search firms. It always seemed as if they were sending over anyone that breathed and never enough of faces showed up in the process to be able to make competitive assessments. The experience has been totally different working with Pine Lake Solutions. There is a steady stream of candidates to compare, no pressure to take one over the other, and a structured process that takes care of both me and the candidates. For once, it felt like I was a client in the process, not someone being given a favor of their time."

"Greg has proven time and again to be professional, conscientious and proactive in helping me find the right job opportunity. Most importantly, Greg sets himself apart by being honest and open. I look forward to working with Greg in the future and would highly recommend his services to anyone who is looking for the right fit, not just any fit."

"Greg is completely professional, detail-oriented, and truly cares about his candidate's career development. I've never worked with someone with such excellent follow up skills, who ensures that I'm happy with my decision to join my current company. I would recommend that anyone use him when searching for a new job or career."

"Working with Pine Lake Solutions has been a pleasure, and it makes good business sense for us. They understand our recruitment needs, presenting excellent candidates who are always well qualified and briefed. The recruiters are highly self-motivated in doing a great job for us. They are pro-active, professional and thorough in all communication, with a great focus on delivering what we need - quality people who can make a difference in our dynamic environment. I have no hesitation in recommending Pine Lake Solutions."

"Greg, I wanted to take a moment to say thanks for your help in securing the opportunity I recently accepted with eRewards. I would like to specifically recognize Stephanie DiMaggio for all of her hard work and guidance throughout the process. Stephanie worked diligently to ensure that I stayed informed and offered valuable tips which assisted me during my candidacy. I am not sure if this opportunity would have come to fruition had in not been for Stephanie's attentiveness to detail. Thank you, Stephanie, I will recommend you and Pine Lake Solutions to anyone in my network seeking a new career opportunity."

"Hi Greg, I just wanted to write you and say how great Annie was in my recent interactions with her. She reached out to me about two months ago regarding a position at FocusVision (which I ended up getting), and it was a perfect match. The opening not only required someone with just my mix of skills and experience, but the culture fit is there too. It’s exactly what I would have been looking for had I been looking, which I wasn’t, so her timing and judgment were right on point. Annie was friendly and helpful, with great advice and an encouraging manner that really increased my comfort and confidence throughout the whole process. She was also very responsive and accessible when I had questions or feedback for her. I really enjoyed the whole experience, which isn’t something I would normally say in relation to interviewing, so I guess that sums it up in the end. I would highly recommend her to any of my friends or colleagues who are looking to make a change."

"I was a candidate that Greg presented to one of his clients and although I wasn't selected to fill the position, it doesn't detract from my enthusiasm for the job that Greg performed. Throughout the process, his professionalism showed as he did what he said he would do when he said he would do it and kept me informed throughout the process. I highly recommend using Greg regardless of what side of the employment side you fall on."

"Brooke was really a joy to work with when I opened myself up to pursuing new opportunities, in large part because she truly took the time to talk to me and understand what was most important for me if I were to make a switch. Not just "What industry and title are you looking for?" or "What do you expect in compensation?", but also understanding the culture, personalities, and types of companies that would be the best fit for me. Once she had that picture in her mind, she didn't bother coming to me -- as some recruiters might -- with every opportunity that might earn them a quick return. She came to me with the right one. And then she worked as an advocate and advisor every step of the way to make sure I was making the right decision. I'm happy to say "I did". I highly recommend her and Pine Lake to anyone looking to make that next leap in their career. Thanks, Brooke!"

"When I realized it was time for me to make a career change, Brooke was the obvious choice. She earned my trust be separating herself amongst others within the industry by continuing to communicate with me throughout my search. In an extremely competitive market, Brooke worked on my behalf until she found an incredible opportunity which I was most fortunate to land. It was a natural progression for my career and I could not be more satisfied. I am lucky to have had her in my corner. Any person seeking a new career or an organization looking for the best candidates would be fortunate to have Brooke in theirs."
