"As the owner of DJ's Tree Service, I am immensely pleased with the Fractional Recruiting services provided by Matthew and Daniel from The Source and Recruit Company. Hiring Jenn as our Office Manager has been a standout success, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. The entire process exceeded my expectations in both efficiency and organization, which speaks volumes about the quality of service and communication I received. The candidates presented were of very high quality, distinctively better than other sources we have access to. I found the verbal and written updates regarding the project to be clear and thorough, ensuring I was well-informed at every step. Though I don't have much experience with other agencies, I am thoroughly satisfied with the outcome and the performance was genuinely outstanding. It was definitely worth the investment, and I would not hesitate to engage your services again for future recruitment needs. Thank you for making this a remarkable experience!"
