- AVP Human Resources | TJX Corp.
"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)!"
- Chief Financial Officer | Asset Strategies Group
“I have had the opportunity and pleasure to work with Marc-Allen Associates team both as a candidate and hiring manager in my career.

I recommend Marc-Allen Associates to my colleagues because they are the best. “

“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.”
- Human Resources Director | D2C Retailer
"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 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."

"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."
- EVP/Chief Financial Officer | Burlington Stores
“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.”
- Former EVP/CFO | Foot Locker
“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.”
- Sr. Marketing Director | Children’s Retailer
“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.”
- Senior Director, Retail Operations Finance | Big Box retailer
"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."
- Senior Director Strategic Sourcing | | $21B Off-Price Retailer
"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!"
- Director Audit Services | Asset Strategies
"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."
