Dan… Now that I interacted with several head hunters, I think it is easy for me to say you are the best. You are sincere in finding a perfect match rather than making numbers and you do a very good job selling the truth about the position to the candidate and prepare the candidate for the interview. So keep doing what you do, you are very good at it.

Lee Golodny was the recruiter who eventually placed me at my new job. I was looking for a new career opportunity but had not had any success on my own with my networking. Lee contacted me through LinkedIn about a potential job at a small biotech firm. We discussed at length what I was looking for and he walked me through the process. He was very professional and I was impressed with him during the entire process. He followed up with me after every phone call, informal meeting, prepped me for the interview and helped me land a really great opportunity. Looking for a new job can be stressful but he made the process much easier for me. I hope others who may need that extra help will approach Lee to assist them in their job search.
