Read moreTony Bucklen went up and above my wildest dreams!
Working with Tony Bucklen has been a great experience for both myself and my career. I had been looking for a Senior BSA position when I got a message from Tony on LinkedIn. He had viewed my profile and reviewed my work experience and told me about a position he was looking to fill that he thought I’d be a great candidate for. I have worked with other recruiters before, but I never received the support and attention that Tony provided to me. He was exceptional at maintaining contact with me through the whole process, from preparing me for the interview all the way to my getting hired, and still checking in with me after. Throughout this whole process, Tony provided me invaluable tips and insight and helped me improve my resume, which really helped me navigate a successful job interview. During the hiring process, I came down with a major health issue that resulted in my needing to have emergency surgery. Tony went out of his way to alleviate my concerns and worked with my new employer to get my starting date pushed back two weeks due to the operation and needing time to recuperate. He checked in with me every few days to see how I was healing and continued to support me, which really meant a lot. I have worked with recruiters before, but have never had as great an experience as I did with Tony. He is outgoing, optimistic and truly cares about the people he works with and making sure he gets them into the right job. I can’t thank Tony enough for all his help and support. He went above and beyond for me, and I am so grateful for his assistance.
Many Thanks!

Thank you Tony for your partnership!
Tony Bucklen has been a great partner throughout the recruiting process. He first scheduled a phone meeting where he asked me about what I was looking for in a job and he also shared with me a great position that I would be a top candidate for. He was able to answer all of my questions regarding the company and the position. He did a great job at communicating throughout the process, even though the company was taking longer to stay in contact with me, he still made sure to check in with me and give me updates. Tony coached me and gave me tips to prepare for interviews. He was also able to advocate for me when I was offered the position. Even after I was hired Tony checked in with me on my first day and of my new job. I am going on week 2 at my new job, and I love the company! Tony made the process seamless and less stressful for us job seekers.-Adriana Lopez
I value Tony today, not only as a recruiter, but an instrumental coach and mentor!I value Tony today, not only as a recruiter, but an instrumental coach and mentor.
Tony Bucklen reached out to me a few months ago. His professional demeanor, thoughtful questions and genuine interest into my goals and desires in my career were evident upon his initial contact. Tony was most helpful through the whole process of applying for a position with one of his clients. His experience in the industry was key to trusting him in the process. His reputation proceeded him as VP’s from the company were interested in interviewing candidates he felt confident sending to interview. Tony was very friendly, supportive, motivating and highly professional during our collaboration. I have gained very valuable information and had such a positive experience throughout the process. I appreciate his quick response, efficiency and prompt follow up after every interview. I value Tony today not only as a recruiter but an instrumental coach and mentor. I would highly recommend Tony as a recruiter and his approach for fully preparing any candidate for initial contact, interviewing, resume updates, and coaching you during the entire process. Tony is not just a professional linking candidate to opportunity, his genuine approach to becoming a coach and mentor in your career creates confidence in both client and candidate. Thank you, Isabel Beckett-Smith
