I am generally wary of working with recruiters but Shannon is someone I can trust. Some of the opportunities she has shown me are not publicly posted and I don't think I would have found them without her help. I have a specialized resume and Shannon understands this. She has shared with me a number of job opportunities that are curated by her. She did not share any ideas that were not a good fit. In one round of search she found such a good match to my skills and interests that it pulled me out of self-employment and led to a good period of employment.

Shannon has been a pleasure to work with. Unlike other recruiters I have worked with, she seems to really understand her client's business and the requisite needs. She is also quick to follow up and has been very transparent about the whole process. She also provided some really helpful tips and context leading up to the interview with her client, which recruiters don't always seem keen to share.

James listened to both the experience I had, as well as what I was looking for in a job itself. He was quickly able to locate an opportunity that fit those needs and had me submitted for it within a couple of hours. It is quite obvious that he wants to help and is not just doing this for a paycheck or to fill any opportunity with any individual.

I could not have had a better experience; Michael is true professional.

I feel like I already have a solid feel for what the job and culture will be like before even interviewing with them. This is key for both sides of the transaction and I feel like she does a great job balancing the interests between candidate and client.

Shannon has placed me in good opportunities over the years. She is a great listener and remembers what I like and dislike. She's great at bringing me relevant opportunities and not wasting my time with roles that aren't a good fit for me. I would recommend both her and EdgeLink as your "go to" if you're searching for a new role or looking to hire a candidate in Portland. They stand head and shoulders above the rest.
