My recruiter, Corina Mack, stayed by my side throughout the entire process. She has excellent communication skills. She definitely felt like a more of a friend than a recruiter. She was always accessible via email or phone. It was important to me that she listened to my ideas and what I needed from a job, and she nailed it! She was more persistent than I was and always kept a positive outlook. She coached me through everything and made the process very simple. Due to her skills, I was able to land the position and the salary that I was looking for.
Thank you,

I was introduced to Corina Mack approximately three to four months ago when she came across my information and identified me as a strong candidate for a high-profile position in the downtown food and beverage industry. Corina took the time to thoroughly review my work history and experiences, and she also connected with my references to gain deeper insights into my qualifications. She then worked closely with me to refine my résumé and compile a professional portfolio to present to the client.
After coordinating an initial interview, Corina provided outstanding interview preparation and leveraged her network to keep me informed about the interview’s status and feedback.
While I was not ultimately selected for the primary role, Corina’s persistence and encouragement led me to maintain communication with the client. Through her guidance and support, I was eventually offered a different role within the company.
Without Corina’s expertise and dedication, I genuinely believe I would not have been considered for this opportunity. I am immensely grateful for her efforts and cannot thank her enough for her direction and unwavering commitment to my success.
Sincerely,
Matthew J.

My name is Chris Ignelzi, and I recently had the pleasure of working with Corina Mack. Corina reached out to me regarding an opportunity with LaScala’s Fire. At first, I was hesitant to make a career change due to my seniority, benefits, and salary at my current job. After speaking with Corina, she was able to really get me to see the big picture and at this point in my career that is an opportunity for growth. Corina gave me some really good tips to go into my first interview with and after the first interview went so well, I met with ownership the next week and was offered a position with a new company. Corina’s professionalism is top notch, and I appreciate her efforts very much.
Thank you,

What can I say about Corina? She did a fantastic job recognizing my transferable skills and finding me the perfect job. I admit I have high expectations of service and communication, and she not only met them but exceeded them in every way. My process of looking for a new position for over six months was definitely making me more cynical and made it hard to believe that any recruiter would do what they said that they would. Corina changed all of that for me and showed me that there are still people in the recruiting world that communicate consistently, effectively and genuinely care. I will be forever grateful that Corina reached out to me about the opportunity in my current position. I would recommend to anyone that they take a chance on working with Corina. She will restore your faith in the job search process.
Thank you for the opportunity to share my experience, I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
