It was a bit serendipitous how Preferred Staffing & Recruiting (PS & R) reached out to me, but, I'm certainly glad that they did. Kathy Orcutt, the Owner of PS & R had e-mailed me out of the blue, about a potential career opportunity on a Saturday afternoon. In the end, however, I was not selected for that particular role. This setback did not deter us, though. Fast-forward to today and via weekly check-ins with Kathy and thanks to her due diligence, I can happily say that I will be starting a new career opportunity this upcoming, Monday, May 2nd.

Working with five separate staffing/recruiting agencies, in addition to my own search, I can honestly say that Kathy and PS & R were the quickest and most consistent, in regards to communications and follow-up. It's amazing to think that even through the woes of a global pandemic and a turbulent job market, Kathy was still able to provide me with individual attention/assistance. That attention/assistance and Kathy, herself are both very much appreciated. Thank you, Kathy (and PS & R)!

I can't shout loud enough how thankful I am that I had Kathy Orcutt's help in finding the perfect job for me. I was not sure how to get back into the workforce after staying home for many years with my children. I was advised that Kathy's agency would be a good place to call in my quest for a new job. I called Kathy on a Monday and within that same week I was interviewing via Zoom with the company that ended up hiring me! Kathy showed confidence in my abilities and put me at ease. Her positive and friendly manner helped to make the whole process a pleasure. I was impressed by Kathy's professionalism and I would recommend her highly. Thank you Kathy!

When the recruiter first reached out to me I was a little skeptical that we would be able to get me a position quickly. Kathleen Orcutt was amazing and very attentive. She followed up with me often and kept me in the loop of all that was going on. I was interviewing with potential employees within a week. I have never seen such an immediate response. She also helped me realize my worth and helped me receive recognition from my employers.

I would recommend Preferred Staffing and Recruiting to anyone I know, Especially Kathleen Orcutt and her team. I can't say thank you enough to her and her team for helping me get the job I love and can grow with. Anyone who is looking should definitely reach out to this team. They deliver what they say!

I am very grateful and fortunate that PS&R found me and guided me down my new path. I cannot say enough about the support, coaching and above all persistence. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Preferred Staffing & Recruiting services for the Newton / Needham / Greater Boston area. We work with Kathy and she is very knowledgable about the local market. She always provides us with straightforward and accurate information, and always sending us quality candidates that meet our needs.
