“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.”

"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!

"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)!"

“Lisa and Marc-Allen Associates, Inc. have helped to fill some really challenging niche roles that required very specific industry experience, with some stellar, high-quality candidates. Lisa is easy to work with; we’re always on the same page. She is awesome at what she does and knows how to help lock-in candidates. In fact, she was instrumental in filling 2 complex Manager roles in just the past 2 months!”

"I would highly recommend Marc-Allen Associates to any company that needs an Executive Recruiter. They over-delivered on our expectations by producing more top-quality candidates than we could have ever asked for in a short period of time. They personally traveled to meet our executives, learn about our business, and master our expectations prior to reaching out to find candidates. They are highly professional and very trustworthy."

“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.”

"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."

“I have been working with Marc-Allen Associates since 1997 and regard the firm as one of our most valued business partners. They understand what I'm looking for in terms of technical skills and recognize the behavioral profile that candidates must possess to be successful in our environment. They consistently deliver candidates that meet or exceed my expectations.”

"Lisa is, without doubt, the most experienced and knowledgeable real estate/retail recruitment consultant I’ve met in the 20 years I’ve been in the industry. Her detailed understanding combined with her market expertise makes Lisa undoubtedly the choice of consultant for your next career move within the retail/real estate arena.

Besides being a reliable source of information and an extraordinary ambassador for both the company trying to recruit talent or the individual looking for a new opportunity, the most important quality that Lisa displays is Integrity.

Lisa can be depended upon to make a good match between employer and employee. I know that I can always depend on Lisa to work in the best interest of both the company recruiting talent as well as the professional seeking a new opportunity. I believe this quality is truly rare in the world of professional recruitment and is extremely beneficial in the long-run for her clients.

I highly recommend Lisa and her professional recruitment services. She is an honest and forthright professional in her own right and does an excellent job matching company needs to a professional’s desires.

Top qualities: Personable, Expert and High Integrity. "

“I have had the great pleasure of working closely with Marc-Allen Associates for executive search over the last 10+ years.  Their team has always sourced, selected, and managed highly skilled, top-notch executive leaders during the recruitment process.  Marc-Allen Associates make the recruiting process easy because they make it their business to know the company culture and quickly scour the Retail industry talent pool for the best candidate fit-both skill and culture. Marc-Allen Associates always has qualified candidates that are a great match ……. the first time!”

“I have worked with Marc-Allen Associates for over 20+ years and find their professionalism and results in the recruitment arena exceptional in the Retail industry. I would highly recommend Marc-Allen Associates to anyone who is looking for a Talent Acquisition expert!

"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."

“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.”

"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.”

“I sincerely appreciate all that you have done through this process. You have been a wonderful advocate and the most thoroughly prepared recruiter I have ever worked with.”
