Nick Mastrovito is the best Recruiter I've ever had the pleasure of working with! He is Top Tier!

You could not ask for a better recruiter! If for some reason, I ever need help getting placed in the future I will 100% be reaching back out to him.

Nick was so helpful and informative.
I had the pleasure of receiving communication from Nick, with Patrice & Associates, informing me of current needs in Restaurant Management. After speaking with Nick and hearing the details of what he was looking for, I decided to give it a shot. I moved to the states about 3 years ago and left a RGM position for my family. Don't get me wrong, I still would have made the same decision. When I got to Oklahoma it was a little harder to find the same position close to my living area. So I just worked whatever jobs I found. Until starting the process with Nick in finding a new RGM position, I didn't realize how much I actually missed it. He explained the company's background and expectations. He even let me know it was rare for them to consider a person for recommendation that's been out of management for over a couple years, but he believed that I was great for this opening. Nick was exceptional with communication, timely responses to any questions, and working diligently at keeping the process moving forward. I have now accepted a job offer for RGM and have a start date with a wonderful, growing company! The process took less than a month!!!! Thank you Nick for refreshing my passion for my career and being there to lift my confidence back where it should be. Sincerely, Vinny Bagby
