There aren’t enough superlatives to describe Jesse; personable, articulate, concerned, dedicated, honest and committed are just a few that come to mind. Jesse has a unique approach to recruiting – rather than presenting every opening as a “great opportunity” or “a position with a high growth company with great benefits/mobility!” and taking a sales-y approach to placement, he takes the time to learn about the candidate, likes/dislikes (both professional and personal) and makes suggestions based on cultural fit. Jesse understands that there is more to placement than titles, company brands, and benefits – he understands to totality of what a position/company may offer a candidate – may recruiters don’t “get that.” Jesse’s a guy you have to talk to if you’re testing free agency!

I met Jesse over 10 years ago. He is smart about placing candidates where they will not only qualify for the job but perform well once in board. Over the years he has helped me fill a number of positions, many on short notice. Whether you're a candidate looking for a new role or a manager kicking off a new search, definitely go to Jesse first.

At first I was hesitant to go to a recruiter based on stories that I've heard. However, Jesse was the complete opposite, very engaging, knew exactly what he was talking about, and genuinely cared about placing me in the right job. From our first meeting all the way up till and through placement Jesse was always there with helpful suggestions/tips and to answer any questions I had. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jesse to anyone looking for a job or company looking to hire talent.

Jesse is great to work with. Unlike many recruiters, Jesse gets back to you when he says he will and doesn't sugar coat the job description. I worked with Jesse in may 2011 and everything he told me about the position I was interviewing for was accurate. He prepared me well for the interview and gave me pointers based on what the company was looking for. I highly recommend working with Jesse, you will not be disappointed and will not hate working with recruiters afterwards.

Jesse is fixated on one thing: Finding the right person for the job. Unlike most recruiters he listens to his clients, gets to know their business and understands their needs. Our group has used Jesse for the past 7 years and he has placed numerous people. He is results driven but not overly pushy like most of those in his business. I give him the highest possible recommendation.

Jesse is the most professional and astute recruiter that I’ve worked with! Not only has he continuously provided top candidates for open roles that I had within my team but has also served as a great business partner within my own recruitment needs. It is evident that Jesse has many years of experience in job placement and growth opportunities to confidently advise you as you look to progress your career. I have inter-acted with other recruiters and can honestly say that he is at the top of his field - prompt, efficient and honest with clear in-sight to both what you and what hiring companies are looking for.
stephanie chan, director of finance
When I met Jesse recently, he immediately impressed me as an honest, upfront recruiter, and a nice guy. Anytime I called or emailed he responded right away. Jesse was not afraid to tell me exactly what he thought about the position or my strengths and weaknesses. I always felt that he genuinely cared about placing me in the right role and would recommend him to anyone looking for a great recruiter.
steve iannucci, director of finance
I met Jesse when I first moved to NYC. I was new to the city and intimidated by the job market but Jesse made finding a job seamless. He landed me multiple interviews in 2 weeks and I accepted one of the jobs the following week. He has a huge network of companies and people in the industry. He's been my instrumental in building my career in NYC.

I have worked with Jesse several times over the past six years. He is an excellent recruiter and listens to my requirements when placing me on interviews. Unlike most recruiters who try to set you up with a "job" Jesse takes the time to make sure the opportunity is correct for you, and does not waste your time with options that are not fitting. I have recommended Jesse to several colleagues and friends and he has also provided them with great services. I highly recommend Jesse as a recruiter.
Caryn Kaminker, senior finance manager
Jesse was great to work with. Only surfaced opportunities that fit the criteria that I was looking for, which I can say from experience is rare. Once placed I used him for our other finance staffing needs and was very happy with the quality of the candidates he provided.
