"Debra at Boutique Recruiting was amazing! I was signed up with so many different Recruiting agencies that did nothing to help me find a job. Then I received a call from Debra about a job I had applied for, she was very sweet and professional and got me in for an interview. Within one day, I had the job. Debra helped me every step of the way, from start to finish. I am so happy with the position she found for me, it was exactly what I was looking for and more!! Thank you Debra!"
Stacy R.
"Excellent experience! Spoke to Amy about an opportunity that we both determined was not a good fit. However, she asked me to reach out if another position caught my eye. Sure enough, about a month later, another position (much better fit than the previous opportunity) caught my eye. Not only did Amy explain the details of what the company was looking for, she was willing to blend my style with her experience as a recruiter. After numerous interviews a job offer was received. -- Much appreciated."
Zeb K.
"I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Erika Hurt and my experience with Boutique Recruiting. Erika reached out to me a few weeks back with a wonderful opportunity that aligned perfectly with my career goals. She was enthusiastic, personable, punctual, encouraging, attentive and understood exactly what I needed professionally and financially. With that being said, I accepted a seamless offer just a few days after my first interview! If you're looking to change careers, I would highly recommend Erika Hurt and Boutique Recruiting-- you'll be in great hands!!"
