I worked with Tony Caniglia at Clark Davis. This is absolutely my best experience with a recruiter throughout my 25 years of experience. Tony was true to his word and always kept me in the loop throughout the interview process. He even checked in on days that there was no update. Working with Tony took the stress out of the hiring process. He made sure that I was happy and that it was a good fit for me. I highly recommend the Clark Davis team, especially Tony!
