Real Results: Candidate Stories That Inspire

I highly highly recommend using Lexi for your job search. She went above and beyond and helped make my change a breeze.

The thing that stood out most with Lexi is that she listened. Everything I was looking for, she ended up doing all the research and came to me with 2 finalists for me to look at instead of just bringing me a bunch of random openings. The job she helped me get has exceeded all my expectations and couldn’t have done it without her!

I cannot recommend Mark highly enough. Working with him was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Mark truly went above and beyond, and functioned as if he was an internal talent recruiter for his client. He took the time to deeply understand my background, skills, and career goals, ensuring I would be a great cultural and technical fit for the role.

Mark’s attention to detail and personalized approach were remarkable. He made the entire process easy and seamless, guiding me every step of the way with clear communication and genuine care. Thanks to his efforts, I landed a fantastic opportunity and my employer was able to get the position filled. A true win-win!

Josh EmdurChief Medical Officer at Village Medical

After getting laid off from a previous job, I got in contact with Mark. I was more or less desperate of employment, and Mark not only found me a job very quickly, but it turned out to be an upgrade over my previous position. In general, I am not very fond of recruiters, but Mark is an exception. I don’t feel like I am being pestered all the time, or pressured. Highly recommended!

Josh Tummel Front End Developer at Segmint

During the job boom of Y2K, lots of recruiters were contacting me, but Mark was the ONLY one to actually listen to what wanted in a position, and worked to find it for me.

Charles Hess Software Engineer Advisor at FedEx

I’ve worked with a number of recruiters over the years and have been disappointed in their level of attention and commitment even after promises of being different. Mark was truly different. He took the time to get to know me and understand my goals. He provided pragmatic advice to help guide my decisions. I felt as though he was on my side and not just out to gain a quick commission. Mark helped me prepare by providing information and prep materials as well as a generous amount of his time. This helped give me the confidence to be successful during the interview process and confidence that I was making the right decision to achieve my goals. I would recommend Mark without hesitation and would happily use his services should they be needed in the future.

Mark is by far one of the most upstanding recruiters I have ever worked with. He takes the time to get to know his clients and candidates to get the best match for both. I would recommend him to everyone looking for a job. In fact, I have! If I needed to go through another job search, Mark would be the first person I would call.

Mark has been instrumental in helping me not only find great positions but in helping me decide how to keep my career on the right path for growth and opportunities. Mark has helped me further my career over the last 12 years, guided me toward obtaining my PMP, and furthering my education. Mark is keenly aware Cleveland business needs and he knows and is well respected by the key people in the Cleveland business communities. I highly recommend Mark and Emerald Resource Group.

Ken L. Gaddis Manager, Global SAP Team at BDI

Mark is a great person. He worked very hard to get me a job in a reasonable time frame. He is very knowledgeable of the companies in Northern Ohio and understands the job market. He placed me in a great job in a good city that suits my personality, work ethics.

Daniel Feistamel IT Development Team Lead at Progressive Insurance

Mark is one of the best recruiters I ever worked with. When I was looking for a job, Mark invested a lot time to build relationship with me and understand my skills, inspiration, strengths and goals. When I was working for a company that was looking to hire new IT professionals, Mark spent considerable amount of time trying to understand the quality of the ideal candidates my company was looking for before submitting any resumes. I never knew what made Mark so successful until I worked with him on both sides. It is always a pleasure to work with Mark and he is the first recruiter I think about when I am on the job market looking for the next opportunity.

Mark was a huge help to me when it came to landing my next position. He encouraged and guided me through. He is an excellent recruiter!
