Al Abrusia is interested in a good fit for your experience, aptitude, and geography while other recruiters will try to sell you on what they have on their desk. The transition from one industry to another was a minor issue when everything else fit so well. His network of contacts is impressive.

I wanted take this time to thank you and Al for all of your hard work over this last month. When I first decided to get back into sales I was concerned that my options might be very limited. I am so grateful to you for presenting the right opportunities to me. The fact that you got to know me as a person and made sure I made the right career move meant so much to me. I really appreciate both of you because you went to bat for me when I needed it most. I am still in amazement that you were able to give me more than one great opportunity to consider. Believe me this time has been very stressful and you have made me feel better every step of the way. Thanks again for all that you have done and I have to say that I probably could not have done this without you.

What can I say. You did it. I want to thank you for all your hard work and dedication in finding me the perfect job. You went above and beyond anything I expected, and came through on every single detail of the job from salary to benefits to the company car. You kept me informed and prepared me for every single meeting starting from the phone interview to the closing of the job. I want to again thank you so much, and I wish you the best in the future.

I was very impressed with the recruitment service provided by Al Abrusia. He worked closely with me all the way through the job application procedure. Al reviewed my resume and helped match my qualifications, experience and career aspirations with a suitable quality position. He proceeded to provide useful coaching with interview preparation advice and was a constant support and mentor in all aspects of the job application. After initial interviews, Al continued to support my application by acting as agent and go between with regards to discussions and negotiations with the hiring company. I found Al to be supportive, responsive and conscientious and I would recommend his services to others seeking new career opportunities in the Chemical Industry.

The new job is working out great! The way you positioned me prior to interviews and the help getting ready for them was critical to my success in winning out over the other candidates. It was a pleasure working with you and when I need to find a good person here, I’ll give you a call.

This was the first time I had gone thru a recruiter and it was a great experience. Al was diligent in placing me in the best position while being very professional and attentive. I would highly recommend Al to anyone.

My job is going very well. I really appreciated your service and I enjoyed working with you very much. Your advice was quite valuable in helping me to get in the door and negotiate a good deal. This is exactly the kind of company I was looking for.

Al Abrusia is one of the most professional recruiters I have ever worked with. I would certainly work with Al to hire someone and I would use him to help me find a job as well. Al is very knowledgeable about the positions he is recruiting for, as well as the culture of the company, and the hiring management.

When working with candidates, Al strives to understand their background, strengths and weaknesses, as well as their needs and career goals. His interest is in the “right” placement of the candidates and he excels in balancing the clients� interests with the hiring companies� needs.

I first met Al through a respected co-worker�s recommendation, and we have had several opportunities to work together. I can say that I have had only positive experiences in working with Al.

Thanks so much for helping me get my new job! On paper, the hiring manager was not interested in me at all. If I had just answered a newspaper ad and submitted a resume, she would not have given me a second look. But with your help and persistence, I got a face-to-face meeting and landed a terrific new job in exactly the right city for me. You have made me believe that dreams come true, Al!

Al — I wanted to send you a brief note of my thanks for all your hard work and effort to make the opportunity at Siegfried happen for me. My family and I are very excited about making the transition.

I have had several great jobs over the years, but this is the first time I have landed in a new opportunity with a recruiter involved. You provided excellent interview coaching and mentoring along the way and I feel that helped polish off my presentation that resulted in a truly outstanding offer. Your support along every step of the way is truly appreciated and look forward to working with you if any hiring needs develop in my new role!

Again, thanks and warmest regards,
Karl

Please accept this note as a token of both my and my family’s appreciation for your work, support and guidance. We are grateful for the good fortune of having connected with your firm at this opportune time. Additionally, please allow me to highlight the importance of what you helped our family accomplish. First and foremost, the Lonza position presents a momentous professional opportunity but as equally important, this opportunity has given us a second in a lifetime a chance to return to California. After a long 5 year departure and detour through the Midwest and Southeast, we were beginning to believe we would not see another chance to return again.

Furthermore, please let me say that this opportunity was only possible because of the excellent follow up and due diligence performed by your associate Marie Lombardo. To back track, I originally spoke to you many months ago upon the referral of a friend. Your team follow up on that original information produced the phone call in November connecting my experience to this opportunity with Lonza. Knowing that you and your team make and field hundreds of phone calls everyday, I find it to be just incredible that you can somehow connect my information with this job; whatever system you are using, thank you for using it. In addition and even more impressive is the commitment to think outside the box. In reality, we all recognize that Lonza was looking for a representative already in the West, however, and as a testament to Marie, she asked all the questions, and provided all the details leading to the opportunity to extend our discussion with Lonza to include the possibility of consideration for their needs in the West. The results led to an opened window of opportunity.

On another level, thank you for your continued support and professionalism. It would have been easy to say you do not have enough experience in their end use market or that you simply are not in the right location, but instead you not only gave me the opportunity to present myself, but you provided excellent direction and insights which were right on target. This includes adjustments to the original resume, to interview techniques and prep, and most importantly, exceptional commitment to continued due diligence on the people and personalities that we were to be meeting with. I personally believe that this last point and associated push to understand your customers sticking points and how to address the hard questions made all the difference in getting across the finish line.

Thank you again for everything.

Sincerely,

Gary Arbizzani

Just wanted to thank you again for helping me land my current position with BASF. I have been enjoying this opportunity ever since I was hired back in December of 1998. Your support really paid off: all the way from helping me update and fine tune my resume to interview tips and techniques. I would also like to thank you for coaching me with my transition from job to job. I was able to leave my former company with class and dignity. You’ll be pleased to know that shortly after I was hired, I received a promotion to Sr. Sales Representative II.
