The executive was quickly promoted to a senior leadership role.
What our client had to say
“What made Bill and his team at Mandrake stand out from all other previous recruiters that I have worked with, was his concern about me and how I would fit with the opportunity, both personally and professionally. While Bill was clearly trying to fill a key role for his client, I felt that he was also looking out for my best interests at the same time. I’ve been happily employed for 6+ years, proving that Bill’s approach is truly a winning one!”
