"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!

They are tenacious, trustworthy, and highly ethical.  I recommend Marc-Allen Associates to my colleagues because they are the best. “

"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."

"I've partnered with Lisa on several occasions over the past few years for recruitment assistance for roles that are often very niche and very specific...unicorns if you will. Lisa has always been a top notch resource for these efforts. In addition to providing multiple qualified candidates, she does an awesome job of providing feedback to me regarding her search efforts and top notch summaries of the candidates presented. She does her homework and really vets candidates before presenting them. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone recruiting in the retail space. I would also recommend her to anyone looking for a next opportunity."

"I have recently worked with Lisa and Marc Allen Associates to secure a new job opportunity. I have to say that Lisa was the most prepared and detail-oriented recruiter that I have ever worked with. She gave solid background information about the company and culture, as well as valuable insight into how to approach each interview. It was a complete pleasure to work with her, and she was critical to my success in obtaining this new opportunity. She is professional, personable, and dedicated to her clients."

“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.”

"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 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."

"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 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.”

“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.”

“Lisa reached out to me in late 2017. She recommended me as a candidate for an open position for which she was recruiting and worked closely with me to ensure I was prepared and confident throughout my interview process. I am extremely happy with my new job and so grateful to Lisa for providing me with this opportunity. I recommend her highly to all of my colleagues and cannot thank her enough for her help.”

"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.”

"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."
