We partnered with Mel to hire a Creative Director and were impressed from the start.

She quickly understood our needs: a hands-on creative leader with fresh ideas, who could collaborate closely with our founder and bring our brand vision to life.

Mel delivered high-quality candidates with remarkable speed and precision.

Thanks to her, we found someone who’s not only a great fit—but already making a strong impact.

I first met Mel years ago at Brownie Brittle, and since then, I've consistently been impressed by her exceptional talent for matching the right people to the right roles. Mel quickly became an invaluable resource during my time at MegaFood, where I relied heavily on her expertise to build my team. She not only identified candidates with the right skills but also ensured they were a perfect cultural fit for the company.

Her ability to streamline the hiring process saved me countless hours, making her an indispensable part of our success. Without a doubt, I would entrust her with this aspect of the business again—she truly excels in her field.

Melissa is one of the most astute, empathetic, and considered recruiters I have met. I had the pleasure of working with Melissa when she represented me as a candidate for a role. Melissa was responsive to my inquiries, and during each stage of the process, she facilitated timely feedback from the hiring company. Melissa provided the appropriate level of context in advance of my interactions with members of the organization, in addition to transparency and clarity. Melissa is incredibly good-spirited and makes what might otherwise be an impersonal experience into one that is engaging, positive, and humanistic. I give Melissa the highest possible recommendation. Any candidate or hiring manager would fortunate to work with Melissa.

Melissa's my first (and last) call when looking for great people. The agency is uncompromising in regard to the level of talent we recruit because it's far more important to get it right then to just get it done. Melissa get's it right every time.
