“Max first reached out to me a year ago regarding a potential Research Engineer position. Throughout the interview process he professionally served as a liaison between me and the potential employer. When it came time to choose between the Research Engineer position and a competing offer, Max provided valuable insights into the market which convinced me to move across the country and accept the Research Engineer position. A year later, as I celebrate my work-anniversary, it's clear that the decision to accept the position was the right move for me at the time. I'm really thankful for all the conversations I had with Max as I was transitioning to a new role and would definitely recommend his services to other professionals looking to take the next step in their career.”

He made sure any sensitive feedback was communicated clearly and constructively, this really helped me in my following interview rounds. Max is also a good listener and can extract information with a soft touch, I highly recommend him.”

“Max is a very hardworking and extremely well-connected recruiter.  He knows his clients well and what they are looking for in a new hire for an open position.  Max stays in contact frequently even with an "I don't have an update yet."  From my point of view, that is a great quality.  If you are looking for a new opportunity, you are lucky when Max gives you a call.  I wasn't looking for a new opportunity, but Max had something he knew would be a good fit and he was right!”

— {Tammy Kwiecinski, Business Development Manager at Nanotech Energy

“Max has excellent recruitment skills, clearly identifies mutual needs between job seekers and company. He is very proactive and meticulous, manages meeting schedules, and gives interview advice to job seekers as well. Before the recruitment meeting, he always called to check in advance to tell the meaning of this meeting and the characteristics of the person that interviewee will meet, and coached on how to answer. I think he is a very professional recruiter.”
