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!
