Read moreDarla Donovan is by far the best recruiter I have had the pleasure of working with.
I have used recruiters in the past, but none even came close to the level of professionalism that Darla showed. She was very in depth with me regarding the position as well as the expectations of the company I was applying for. She provided me with great interview tips as well as coached me through the process. I believe she was very thorough in preparing me for the interviews as well as giving me a lot of information on the company itself.She has been a real pleasure to work with and I would certainly recommend her to anyone in the industry that needs someone to look out for their best interests. I appreciate her support and coaching throughout this process. She has reached out several times since I accepted the offer, just to see how I am doing and to check in on me. That's something I have NEVER experienced with a recruiter and appreciate her thoughtfulness. She also sent a card congratulating me on the new position! She is a wonderful person and a great recruiter!!Thank you for everything!Amy Kiker
