"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!

"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 associated with Marc-Allen Associates for the past 20 years. They have guided me to successful career decisions and have provided top talent for organizations I have led.  Marc-Allen Associates has been and will be my first choice to identify and place talent.  They are a highly professional organization with deep roots in the retail industry and have the ability to find the right candidates who meet both the technical and cultural needs of the organization.  I have NEVER been disappointed with new partners hired through Marc-Allen Associates.”

“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.”

"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 highly recommend Marc-Allen Associates. I have had the pleasure of working with them in the past, and they are honest, professional, and great at keeping open the lines of communication. They not only know the ins and outs of their profession but also have a wide network of colleagues to draw upon."

“Marc-Allen Associates was our number one outside recruiter at Foot Locker for many years. We hired dozens of high-quality people through them, and almost all became valuable employees. They helped create the turnaround story at Foot Locker, which was very near bankruptcy. Many of our hires from them were critical in saving Footlocker. Their input was accurate and supportive of our goals. They never treated us like a "to do" list and always forwarded us great candidates. A relationship with them is long term, and they manage the relationship in that manner.”

“I've worked with Marc-Allen Associates on a large number of searches since 2006. They have proved themselves to be responsive, very well connected in the retail space, and of great value. They are tenacious and work hard to identify the right candidate, and have placed some fabulous talent into our organization. They're a pleasure to work with.”

"I've been working as an attorney in the retail industry for nearly 20 years. In fact, a recruiter helped me land my first legal job. I've worked with a number of them over the years, but I have never had a better experience than I did working with Lisa and Marc-Allen.

From our initial conversation all the way through accepting a new position, Lisa was not only magnificent, but equally challenged me and encouraged me every step of the way. Starting with my initial resume review, she was able to help me focus on making those changes that would help me stand out on paper. But it went beyond that.

My interview prep was extensive and I've never seen the level of detail that she included. It was truly a top-notch experience.

Finally, the support from her and Marc-Allen didn't simply stop once I had accepted the new role. She continued to follow up with me to ensure that any questions I had were still being answered and any needs were addressed."

I have never had such a close line of communication with a recruiter before, and I was amazed at how well Lisa managed the entire process on both ends. She was a pleasure to collaborate with, and I know she is rooting for my success in my new role."
