Testimonials

Your success is always our concern.

“Steve reached out to me about an open position at a period in my life when I was unsure what my next career move should be. It is not an understatement to say that my first phone call with Steve sent me on a trajectory that changed my life for the better in so many ways. During our first conversation he not only did a thorough assessment of my skills and background, but he took the time to really listen to and address my concerns (and I had a lot of them). He didn’t ask questions to check off boxes – he dug deeper to help me figure out what my next move should be and to ensure that the match he made for me with my new employer would be a good fit culturally as well as matching the skills needed.

Steve gave me valuable no-nonsense career guidance and became a trusted advisor very quickly. It was clear that he wanted what was best not only for me but for the company that he matched me with. His goal was to make sure the placement he made was a success for both parties, and I never doubted that he had the best interest of both in mind.
Steve kept me up to date the entire time during the process. He set expectations around the interview process and provided valuable interviewing advice, especially important to me because I had not interviewed in a long time.

Whether you have a specific career goal in mind or you need someone knowledgeable and trustworthy to talk through your next career move, Steve Burchard is your guy.”
