Jim Schneider was quick to listen, and quick to respond. The resumes sent were worthy of review and appropriate for our position. Great feedback from him, helping us clarify what we want and how to get it.
My cousin is a recruiter in the Washington DC metro area and did some internet searches/research when he heard I was looking for a job in New Orleans. He suggested I reach out to PCG based on your professional website and great reviews. From the moment I reached out to Dan on LinkedIn, he was extremely helpful and accessible throughout the process. I have just started with my new job this week and am very happy with the placement. I will definitely recommend your group to others in the future.
I was very impressed with Dan Prados persistence in finding the right position for my qualifications and salary requirements along with benefits.
Laura was absolutely amazing from my initial application through the entire hiring process. She always answered the phone/email within minutes and explained any concerns I had. I have already recommended Laura and PCG to a few people. Thank you all so much for having such compassionate staff.
Jim Schneider made the process as easy as possible. I was well informed throughout the interview process. Jim helped me navigate multiple offers with unbiased advice that was based solely on what was best for me. I couldn’t recommend Jim and the others at Personnel Consulting Group enough. They are second to none.
