Over the past 20 years, I have worked with several recruiters in NYC, Chicago, and here in Fairfield County. Heather Knapp and her team are exceptional -- a real class act. After I took an extended family leave Heather was able to find me the right fit immediately. Referred to her by a friend, Heather was genuinely interested in my career, learning about my skill set, what I am good at, what I wanted to do, and what I didn't want to do.
I really felt working with her was a partnership. I am thoroughly enjoying my new job; and truly appreciate her regular check-ins and consistent professionalism. Anytime I have had a question or concern I get a response within 24 hours often within 2.
