Marie Lombardo was fantastic to work with. She is very effective at her job and it’s a pleasure to recommend her as an accomplished recruiting professional.

I have been consistently impressed with Marie’s attitude since the first day she contacted me for a Sales Manager position. She is very friendly and intelligent.

She was always helpful and reachable. I appreciate her quick responses, efficiency and prompt follow-up to my requests.

Hi Marie,

Thank you so much. I don’t know what I would have done without you in this process.. I have worked with other recruiters in the past, but have never built this type of relationship. I truly felt that you have my best interest in mind and offered guidance to support that. I’m going to miss talking to you too, and can’t wait to speak to you face to face at Supplier’s Day. Finally! I have no doubt we will work again in the future, and with this new position and my masters program, I will be able to support you with contacts on the Flavors and Fragrances side of the industry as well as B to C contacts. I will never forget all you have done.

See you soon.

Hi Al,

Thank you for everything! Al and Marie reached out to me to me when I was in the job market. I was looking to make a career change and go into sales which is not an easy change. They were very persistent and did everything they could to prepare me for interviews. There wasn’t a day that would go by that I would not hear from them. Even after I was given the job they continued to follow up with me to make sure I am doing well. I have worked with many recruiters over the years but none have shown the level of care that I have seen at Abrusia & Associates.

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.
