Before I began my job search, I was in contact with several staffing agencies. The Advisory Group showed the most proactive attitude, genuinely listened to my needs, and introduced me the most suitable positions. I want to especially thank Jennifer, Charles, and Yuriko for their dedicated assistance in finding a job that fits me well. I highly recommend them to anyone currently seeking employment.

Highly recommended especially for moms who have gaps in their careers. I had five-year gap in my career and got a manager position which was equivalent of my previous job title-wise thanks to the team. One of the very best agencies I’ve ever got help from.

in a moment i need a quick solution to find a new job, the company deliver exactly what I need.. When recruiter was not yet convinced of my capability, the company assisted the recruiter to clear their concern.. the company represented my self to negotiate compensation with the recruiter, so that I was able to get best possible deal for that role.
Based on the xperiences I think they deserve 5 stars from me. So thank you.
