"Lauren is a proactive and results-oriented recruiter. During my job search, she listened to me and helped me to understand each opportunity and also explained why some situations would not be a good fit. She placed me at a great firm with good compensation and benefits. I believe that I will be at this company for a significant portion of my career."

Alessandro Franchi, Water Process Engineer III, Metcalf & Eddy
"Thank you very much for your assistance and counseling during my job search. I am very happy with the position that I found with your help. Particularly, it was important to me that you understood very well what were the specifics of my job experience and career ambitions, the salary was discussed upfront, you were able to put me directly in touch with the hiring manager and technical leaders. Further, I appreciated the support during the relocation process after I was hired. Again, thank you."

Jeff Marolt, Director, Kimley-Horn
"Lauren has done an excellent job finding people who might fit our culture and also have the kind of skill set that we are interested in. Frankly the first part is sometimes more challenging than the second. What I appreciate most is the quality of the candidate she has presented versus the quantity I see elsewhere. This seems to me to be due to her diligence in knowing exactly what her candidates are...or are not. She also has done an excellent job in seeking references and closing which is the added value we are looking for when paying a fee."

Stephen Booth, Sr. Project Manager
"I wanted to send a few words of praise for a high level recruiter/placement professional - Lauren Byrne. I changed jobs in February of 2005. I spoke with her then and said to give it a year to see how it's working. Like a diligent professional, she followed up with me a year later and asked me pertinent questions to review what I had said the year before. I said let's give them a chance and call me in another year. She did again and refreshed me on what was said - always very polite and accurate. After her follow up again, I realized that I was ready for a move to another firm. She brought me a great opportunity, worked with the in-house recruiter here and was able to secure an interview. She coached me along the way on how to improve my odds of being hired, and it worked. I'm now a "happy camper" at my new firm and I do owe a lot to Lauren. She's bright, witty, persistent, tenacious, professional and knowledgeable. I had three or four other recruiters pursuing me but she was, by far, the best I worked with. I think she did an excellent job and would recommend her highly to others."

Elissa Heimburger, Director HR, DSWA
"Lauren works hard to source the best candidates possible."

Bob Clavel, Retiring Executive Director, Wheaton Sanitation District
"As you know, the Wheaton Sanitary District has hired one of the candidates referred by you as its new Executive Director. We very much appreciate your efforts and assistance during the lengthy selection process. Due to other commitments of the members of our Board of Trustees, the process took much longer than we had expected and your patience during that time was appreciated. You have been a valuable resource in this process and you referred several highly qualified candidates for our consideration. Our ability to have thoroughly reviewed the qualifications of all the candidates gives us confidence that we have selected a very highly qualified person for this position. Your coaching during the interviewing process was especially helpful to assure that the critical qualifications of the candidates were fully explored by all who participated in the interviewing process. Thank you again for your highly professional and confidential performance in our selection process for our new Executive Director"

Barry Boyd, Senior Project Manager
"Lauren - Your care and handling were very good. You're more thorough than most recruiters with whom I have worked in the past. For example, you contacted associates at my work, clients with which I have worked and even one of the regulators (CDPHE) whom I work with as well. You kept things moving, kept me informed, coached/led me a bit and tolerated me well. You seemed to have a good repertoire of prospective employers to present me to, had a good understanding of their modus operandi, and seemed to understand where and how the employer and I might make a good match. So, I think you did well. Thanks so much!"
