Testimonials

I have known Linda for several years and have consistently been impressed with her recruitment and communication skills. It’s a rare thing to be able to discuss the nuances, trends and directions of your industry with a recruiter. It’s even more rare for a recruiter to understand and empathize with very technical people. Rarer still for a recruiter to follow up, keep in touch and offer useful and actionable advice. Linda embodies all these traits and is very personable with it.

Jimmy Gowen was more than just a recruiter agent. He was an advisor, a motivational coach and above all, a friend. He made sure I understood the type of organization I was joining in, to the point where, once I was in, I felt like I had been working there for years. The insights he provided made me realize that the company had the right balance between challenging situations and welcoming of experience. I feel that this is my organization now, all thanks to Jimmy. If anyone has the pleasure to work with him, I guarantee that he will not let you down ever. Thank you Whitaker Companies!

I'm currently working as contract consultant for Whitaker at a client facility. The hiring process was smooth and easy. The Whitaker rep has been friendly and stayed in contact throughout the contract, providing client feedback. If an issue arises, he acts as liaison with the client. It's been the best, most personal experience I've had as a contractor. At Whitaker you're not just a cog in the machine.
