Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value This place is not at all helpful and extremely unprofessional. Waste of time and the way they talk to people is unheard of. The "owner" should be embarrassed by the way she handles herself and her company.yikes

As a career professional in the field of Executive Search, I have seen many search firms and recruiters come and go. When I moved to Long Island 10 years ago and asked around, Nielsen Associates and Renee Nielsen were names that immediately surfaced as being a go-to resource, known for high quality and integrity. My experience over the past 7 years' working with Renee has proven that reputation to be true. It's a privilege to be a part of this firm.

First off Renee left me a voice message where she lied and said I applied to her company when actually they found my resume on a job board. When I directly asked her she tried to dance around it then said someone sourced it. I asked her to email the details, but she said she couldn't and keep talking over me while chewing gum. Rambling about this job that was for high-volume recruiting. She didn't try to establish trust, rapport or make any type of real connection just rambling off information.

She had no clue where I lived in association to the job's location or even the cities nearby. It's obviously she hadn't even read my resume up until that moment or conducted enough market research. This type of individual gives recruiting a bad name by being pushing, unprofessional, outright lying, and so callous in their approach that good recruiters who care about making the right networking connections have to overcome more. Lose my number, don't ever call me again.

I've engaged Nielsen Associates on several difficult, complex searches in the past. Each and every time, my Nielsen Search Partner took the time to understand my company culture along with the key requirements for the role. They work tirelessly to produce quality candidates for my executive positions. As the client, I ensure that I provide prompt and specific feedback to my Nielsen partner to ensure that the search stays on track.

I trust Nielsen implicitly to represent my company as my "extension". I would not hesitate to call on Nielsen for any search at my company. If they cannot assist, they will let me know. I give Renee Nielsen and her team 5 stars!
