"I am pleased to recommend Lisa Schwartz. She is a true professional who is pro-active, terrific communication skills and very thorough in her searching for candidates. She receives and acts upon feedback and is very flexible and timely in her response to requests. I would happily utilize Lisa in future search efforts."

“Lisa, I want you to know that I’m very happy, not only with the result, but the process. I can say it was as if you were an extension of our team, and it was seamless. You presented great candidates and kept us on task. It was as if you were part of my HR team. Thank you for that. I look forward to working with you in the future.”

"During our initial conversation and throughout the interviewing process, Lisa shared a significant amount of key information regarding the company and how to prepare for the interview process. She provided links to pertinent articles and reached out to the internal recruiter to get answers to my questions. She responded quickly to all of my requests and was always available when I needed her.

Lisa had me comfortably prepared for each interview so I was able to be my best during, what can be a stressful time. After each interview, she would follow up to get feedback from me regarding how it went and evaluate how the support she was providing was working. Ultimately, I was offered and accepted the job!

You are the only recruiter who followed through on things that they have told me. It speaks volumes and makes candidates more seriously consider the role and relocation, as well.”

“It is my pleasure to write this unqualified recommendation for the Marc-Allen Associates team.  Before they began their first executive search at our company, they spent significant time meeting me and the rest of the executive team to really understand our hiring profile, the types of executives we were looking for, and the culture we were trying to create. They have gone on to fill dozens of jobs with outstanding candidates that fit superbly within our organization.  I truly appreciate the partnership and relationship that continues to this day.”

"I had the pleasure of working with Lisa and her team during my most recent job search, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. From our first conversation, she was professional, warm, and incredibly knowledgeable about the industry. She took the time to understand my background, skills, and career goals, ensuring that the opportunity she presented was a great fit.

Beyond her expertise, Lisa was dependable and supportive throughout the entire process. She kept me informed at every stage, provided thoughtful guidance, and made what can often be a stressful experience feel seamless. Thanks to her dedication and insight, I landed a fantastic role that aligns perfectly with my aspirations.

If you’re looking to fill a role and work with a recruiter who genuinely cares about your success and goes above and beyond, Lisa is the one you want in your corner!"

"I worked with Lisa on my most recent job search. She is professional, well-organized, and a pleasure to work with. She took time to thoroughly understand my background, ensure that the company and I were a good fit, and supported me through the entire interview process. She is responsive and transparent, and her feedback and guidance were extremely valuable in helping me prepare for each step of the interview process.

Lisa genuinely cares about the candidate's success. I would recommend her for helping with career searches and placement."

"One thing I will say, Lisa, is that I've talked to a few recruiters, and I must say that I found working with you and your team so helpful. You are so organized, well-prepared, and detail-oriented, which I much appreciated throughout the whole process. Whether things work out in the future or not, I must say it was a pleasure!

“I strongly recommend Marc-Allen Associates. My experience with them was as a candidate. They helped me navigate through an extensive interview and selection process at Burlington Stores. They were extremely effective at helping me understand the culture of the organization and the personality of key executives in that organization. This helped me decide if I was an appropriate fit for this company. I was indeed the successful candidate, and I am enjoying the beginnings of a long and successful career with my new company. I also appreciate their effectiveness from the perspective of an Employer who has sought to fill key executive positions.”

"Lisa is not only a pleasure to speak with, but she is very detailed, organized, and thorough. Her professionalism and expertise make her a great partner to work with."

"I worked with Lisa on several recruiting searches. Before each search, Lisa takes the time to understand the company's needs and asks all the right questions. She was able to present us with very qualified candidates and help us close the search quickly. She does a great job following up and giving feedback throughout the process. It was an absolute pleasure working with her!"

"I would like to take this opportunity to provide you with feedback on Lisa - she was very professional and courteous in all of our interactions. In addition, I can tell that her work-ethic is superior to other recruiters I have interacted with recently; she always responded very quickly, no matter when I contacted her.  Most importantly, she was exceedingly knowledgeable about the role we were discussing and her knowledge about the business and retail in general were very impressive. I hope that you pass this along."

"I wanted to say 'thank you' and reinforce that we think you have exceeded expectations so far on these 2 critical searches.

I have a very high bar for recruiters, and we are not an easy client, but you have been “As Advertised” from John.  Your rigor around the process, assessment skills, support on JDs, making our jobs easier, not harder, excellent attention to detail, and most of all, delivering well-prepared quality candidates that match the profile have been on point. As an additional point of differentiation from other firms,  the diversity of your candidate pool has been especially impressive.

I have never sent a note like this to any firm or recruiter, but it is well deserved.  A+ job by you and your team, and I wanted to say “thank you” for the dedication and support in the middle of this search.  I know each of these searches is a journey with twists and turns, and you have handled the ups, downs, and surprises very well. As I said, I have been impressed with your performance.

"I have had the opportunity to work with the Marc-Allen Associates team over the last 6 years, and I have found them to be true professionals. They bring forward great candidates and, when needed, do so in a confidential manner. They have very high standards, vet candidates thoroughly, and present only the “best of the best”.  I trust Marc-Allen Associates, and they will be my very first choice for external talent recruitment because they always have our organization’s best interests in mind."

"Marc-Allen Associates are the "go to" recruiters I now use for a lot of our retail openings. They are extremely responsive business partners and provide a well-qualified slate of candidates for each opportunity. They go the extra mile with the candidates they present, in that their communication with them and with us is superior. I view Marc-Allen Associates as a long-term business partnership, which is what I look for in my recruiter relations. I would without any hesitation recommend them to other companies (as long as they don't have the same openings we do and at the same time)!"

"When the Marc-Allen Associates team first called me 13 years ago to discuss the "perfect" position it all came down to their knowledge and expertise in matching the right candidate with the right company. They are thorough and knowledgeable, and their efforts serve both the client and the candidate. They are expert recruiters that I highly recommend to any professional seeking a career, or any company seeking a professional recruiting firm."
