I worked with Matt Reynolds and had a great smooth experience. As a software professional it feels impossible to land interviews without going through a recruiter, and some can be a nightmare. I felt I could be honest about my prior experience and get an unbiased advice. Actually I tried to decline the interview because the job description didn’t fit me, but Matt knew the position and company well enough to know the JD didn’t match what they were really looking for. Still there 2 years later.

Michael Savio at Clark Davis helped place me for a senior role at a Fortune 100 company. He was very communicative and helpful throughout the process, ensuring I had the right information about the process, interviews, and interviewers to prepare for success.

I was fortunate to have Darren Gutowski from Clark Davis Associates reach out to me via LinkedIn during my job search. I spoke with numerous recruiters during that time, and Darren was the best at following up with me! He is personable, professional, and a great communicator. Darren helped me get in the door at Abiomed, an extremely successful MedTech company with a Patients First culture and a commitment to recovering hearts and saving lives. Darren, thank you for helping me through that process!
