Merkle VP, Client Partners
Recently I have had the pleasure of working with David and through my experience it is apparent that David is a true professional whomever he interacts with and is highly skilled at locating talent and building the connection between the job description and the right candidate. He is a perfectionist with an abundance of industry knowledge and is willing to do whatever it takes to find the perfect fit. One of the rare qualities in his profession is patience and Dave has lots of it to wait till both the parties are satisfied with the decision. I really enjoyed the experience and highly recommend him for services on both employer and employee side.

ADP Staffing Client Relationship Manager | Lead Recruiter
I met Dave several years ago while he was conducting a search for one of his clients. While the position was not right for me, he did take the time to understand my career goals and we kept in touch. Last year Dave told me that he had the perfect job for me – and he was right. Dave listened to what I was looking for and didn’t waste my time with jobs that were not right. During the process, he was very proactive in keeping me in the loop and advocating my candidacy. Whenever someone tells me they are looking for a job, I don’t hesitate to give them Dave’s contact information.
