I met Julian Hicks via LinkedIn as well. At the beginning, I was very skeptical because recruiting companies usually ask for your updated resume the first time and then disappear, however, Smart Staff proved the opposite. They really help you out with tips and advice to get the job according to your skill (and thanks to this I got hired).Also, want to thanks Christine who always kept me posted about the clients feedback.Finally, I want to express my gratitude to Julian and Christine.I highly recommend working with this amazing team called Staff Smart.
Staff Smart knows how to help people. I have had experiences in the past with other recruiting companies, who did not know me or really help me. Staff Smart is not about recruiting, they are about helping people find their best fit. From the start they were knowledgeable, flexible, empathetic, supportive and accommodating. Importantly however, they were effective. I was able to transition into my new roll quickly and effectively. There was no wasted effort in this endeavor and I fully appreciate the attention to detail; which did not have me chasing opportunities, which did not match my skill set. Christine and Nick were consummate professionals who are skillful at what they do. I highly recommend Staff Smart to anyone looking to transition to a new role.
Christine and everyone at Staff Smart were amazingly professional, transparent in their processes but more importantly friendly and empathetic. Julian helped me get an interview for a perfect job. I would highly recommend using their services if youre in the market.”Christine has helped and guided me not only during the interview process, during the entire time I was with them and even after that. Its difficult to compare her company Staff Smart in with other agencies. They have the IT industry knowledge, quality candidate base and a constantly growing network of stable employers. But it’s her continuous focus on maintaining the employee-employer relationship, well after job placement, that raises the bar to a new standard. Simply put, Christine is the quintessential recruiter of which all others will now be compared.
It has been a pleasure working with Nick and Christine to find the best position with a great offer. They definitely go above and beyond to make this process as smooth as possible. I would definitely recommend Staff Smart to family & friends in future.
During the winter of 2014 I began looking for companies to work for in the San Diego area, all while planning to relocate from Seattle WA to San Diego CA. I came across a position that Staff Smart had listed and began working with Julian. Julian and everyone at Staff Smart were amazingly professional, but more importantly friendly and empathetic with the stress of relocating at the same time as starting a new job, and the cost of living different in San Diego. Julian not only helped me get an interview, but later was able to negotiate a great compensation package for me. I would highly recommend using Staff Smart if youre in the market for a job change.
Very easy to do business with, Julian really takes the time to understand his clients needs. Wouldnt hesitate to recommend Staff Smart to either organizations looking for skilled employees or individuals looking for the right role. Keep up the good work!
Working with Staff Smart has been nothing but a pleasure. Julian reached out to me on LinkedIn, we had a couple of calls to get acquainted, and within a week I had an interview along with a job offer. I was asked about a salary range and Staff Smart did all of the negotiating for me, the entire process was by far the easiest placement Ive ever had.I would have no complaints if things stopped there, but the CEO (Christine) has followed up with me personally on multiple occasions to make sure I have everything that I need and things are going well. The personal touches are appreciated and go a long way toward making you feel part of the team.Lastly, shout out to Mike who has made every administrative task/request/question a breeze.
I worked with Staff Smart for my current position and it was a great experience! They were helpful throughout the entire process and made it very smooth! I would highly recommend working with Staff Smart!
In just one short phone call I wanted to be Julians best friend, buy him lunch and get done all the things I have needed to do for my career done today. He is an outstanding gentleman, amazing inspiration, and an irreplaceable contact.Thank you for your advice, motivation, and direct perspective.
After interacting with several online staffing agencies -who made me lose confidence in the traditional online job search methods- I had the pleasure to meet Julian Hicks from Staff Smart via LinkedIn. Staff Smart helped me find the job I wanted and placed me with an amazing organization to work for in no time. They don’t only have the easiest, lean and most effective placement process, but also have a recruitment team that combines a professional, helpful and friendly attitude. Julian was so effective in his approach as he understood my career goals and also made sure that I possess all the skills required for the job he had in hand, then he provided advice and valuable insights to help me prepare for the client’s interviews. A couple of days after, I was already interviewing and within one week I received the offer. Even afterwards, Julian continued to follow up to make sure I’m all set for my first day at the job.I also had the pleasure to communicate with Mike StClair via emails who made the administrative process after receiving the offer so seamless, thanks to his responsiveness.Great staffing company and very helpful team and I highly recommend them for professionals seeking new opportunities or career shift in the tech industry without wasting time or effort in the process.
Had a very good experience working with Christine and Julian at Staffsmart; Great communication throughout the interview process and I got the job. Thanks!
