TESTIMONIALS

"My experience working with Mary has been truly excellent.  She is a gifted talent scout. As one of her ‘finds”, she took the time to understand my personality, my strengths, and what drives me. Mary brought me into my present company, filling a position to which I am very well suited. I can excel here because I am an excellent fit.  I am now in the position of working with Mary from the other side. My company is always looking for talent, and Mary consistently brings in outstanding candidates. Perhaps her greatest gift, though, is her outstanding intuition. Mary pays attention to what we need, not merely what we think we want.  She will go out on a limb for us, finding us people who can take us to the next performance level. Thank you Mary!"

Global Design Director - Seating, Turnstone, Worktools, Steelcase

"Mary is a highly competent recruiter!  From the first time I spoke to her, I felt very comfortable.  She asked all the right questions that made sure I was the right “fit” for the position she needed to fill.  I also had the sense she was working for me, making sure this career change was in my best interest, as well.  She did an excellent job coaching me through the process and following up at all critical stages.  There is no doubt about Mary’s concern for the people she has worked with.  It has been just over one year, and there have been several times in which she has reached out and followed up with me by asking about the transition into the new job and community.  She is genuinely concerned about me and my family which has meant a lot to me.  It also goes without saying that the “fit” has been highly successful because I have exceeded my new company’s expectations as well!  Truly a “win-win” situation."

"Mary was instrumental in finding me and connecting me with Steelcase, Inc. Having come from the A&D Community, I was not familiar with the more traditional corporate interview process. Mary did an excellent job in coaching me through the process; helping me to understand the requirements and expectations, and what to prepare for. I definitely feel that Mary maximized my chances for success."

"Having dealt with many recruiters through the years, Mary Jensen is truly the best recruiter I have worked with. She is great at communicating what the employer is looking for, and genuinely cares about MY career interests. In short, she is an awesome career matchmaker! Mary coached me on interview preparation and helped me step by step through an eight month hiring process. Her support didn’t end when I got the amazing position, she also helped make the relocation as smooth as possible for my family and I. She has continued to check in with me every couple of months, and I’ve found out from a colleague that she does this with everyone she places into a position. I’ve never met a recruiter who is so professional at finding me a job I love, and genuinely cares about candidates."

"During our start-up phase, Mary has been supporting our recruitment needs. She is extremely professional, thorough, knowledgeable about the furniture industry, and well connected. I can definitely recommend Mary for any recruitment/networking/coaching needs that you or your organization might be in need of."

"Working with Mary was absolutely wonderful because she seeks to understand who you are as an individual and as a professional and matches you with the right role. Mary not only found the perfect position for me, but went out of her way to make sure that everything fit: from the company culture, to the compensation, and even down to the neighborhood we’ll be living in. I highly recommend Mary Jensen."
