John Gatewood made one of the most stressful and necessary things in life as smooth as can possibly be.
Earlier this year, I began my search for a job after being out due to medical reasons for almost two years. I worked on my resume and began my search through a few of the many job search sites. Over 80 applications went out and a handful of interviews came out of it, but I would either get the rejection e-mail or was offered a wage that wouldn’t be able to sustain me. I’m great at my field but not so much at selling myself to potential employers. I applied for a position represented by Patrice & Associates, and John Gatewood called me to discuss the position. He listened to my background and worked with me to put together the resume that best highlights my skills and relevance to the job I was seeking. He submitted my resume and through his outstanding relationship with his client, secured an interview. As rusty as I was with interviewing, he gave me the tools I needed to go to the interview prepared and confident. John was there every step of the way from finding the job that is the best fit for both the client and myself to the inevitable offer letter. The only thing I would fix is I would have called a lot sooner and saved myself undue stress!~ Eric E.

Darryl Jackson is my HERO!
My experience with Patrice & Associates that was lead by Darryl Jackson, was great! Darryl did a great job giving me the details of the companies offerings and kept me informed along the way. I believe he helped me find the company that I will retire with!

Jonathan Litt was an amazing coach during my job search.
The thing that stands out to me the most is you can tell he truly cares. He helped me gain self confidence through phone calls and was constantly checking in on me during the interview process. Not only was I able to acquire a great job with the help of Jonathan, but I received incredible insight. He is a very smart guy and is able to effectively explain his thoughts in a simple manner.Thank you so much!

Karen Horton is personable, knowledgeable, and was instrumental to my Career Goals.
Communication and correspondence with her was easy and fast and her feedback always proved very useful during the recruitment process. With other recruiters I have dealt with in the past, I've usually had the impression that I was merely part of a quota of applications. This was not so with Karen, I am convinced that she had my best interest in mind as well as those of the company she was "hunting" me for.I cannot thank Karen enough for all her assistance in what I am sure will be a long lasting relationship with my new employer.

Thank you, Ross Horton and Patrice & Associates!

Jonathan Litt's advice is helpful, timely, and effective!
I would first like to thank Jonathan Litt for all of the work he put in to help me gain my latest position. I’ve worked with several individuals in recruiting, and no one has provided more value than Jonathan Litt. Jonathan started by vetting me as a candidate through an initial meet and greet. From there he revised and consolidated my resume, presented me and was able to secure an interview. From there he coached me on my interview prep. He called me before the interview to wish me luck, and the follow up right after. As I progressed through the selection process, Jonathan stayed in contact with me and prepared me for the next steps. He helped me with the job offer, giving me some good advice to make sure that everything was covered and included in the offer. Once I accepted the position, I thought my time with Jonathan was completed. As it turns out, Jonathan has stayed engaged with me through the orientation, weeks 1 and 2 of training. He truly cares about my success and this quality really shines through when working with Jonathan. If I am ever looking for a job in the hospitality industry, I will look to Jonathan Litt again, and would gladly recommend him without hesitation to anyone in the job market.Sincerely,
Greg Koenig

Ed Carroll contacted me about an opportunity that was the perfect fit for me! Throughout the interview process, Ed was communicative and available to answer any questions I had, and he also provided me with helpful tips to better prepare for my interviews with leadership. He was one of my biggest cheerleaders through the whole process and made my first experience working with a recruiter a very memorable and positive one!
Thanks!
