| Deena, a big thank you for helping me find this role. Not only were you friendly, your professional assistance throughout the whole process made such a difference to me. You made sure that I had as much information as I needed to be successful. You provided me with a detailed brief of the role and the company, prepared me for interviews and stayed in touch afterwards. A big stand out for me was your open and frequent communication. From a candidate’s perspective, the waiting period post interview can be especially long. Even when you didn’t have any definite feedback, you would call and reassure me. Thank you. So, Deena congratulations. You are the star performer in all of this, a lady who is wonderful at her job and in connecting with people. | |
