With the knowledge and understanding she was able to, without exception, present outstanding candidates to us, many of whom joined our company. She and her team are those you can count on to deliver/over-deliver – they have been my go-to when we have chosen to engage a recruiter on critical searches, whether senior sales or executive level roles. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Deanna to assist you with your recruiting needs.”
