I had the privilege to work with Josh. Without a doubt, Josh loves what he does: he always puts the client’s interests before his own and delivers on promises made. His perceptive listening skills and his ability to ask good questions of both the client and candidate is what allows him to identify the right candidate on a consistent basis.
Laura was the best recruiter I ever had the privilege of working with. First of all, she always kept me busy because she had a varied assortment of clients; and because her clients loved the professional disposition she brought to bear, she was always their first choice. She would always look out for my interest in negotiating the terms of my contract. It always amazed me how she could strike an acceptable balance between the client and her consultant, without alienating either one. Her interest doesn’t stop after the placement, she stayed proactive, reaching out to make sure that I was happy at the assignment– that always gave me a sense of security and comfort. In moments of crisis, she was my best hope for soothing. She had this knack for accessing work related situations and giving you the best professional advice there is. It is not often you have a recruiter that could also be a friend! And in all these years, she never failed to make me feel special; and that sentiment is shared among colleagues. During the down periods, most recruiters are known to forget about you, but not Laura: those occasional emails, and phone calls to check on me, were highly appreciated because it made me feel that really, she was working for me, despite the odds. I like Laura a lot, and would never hesitate to work with her again. She is one of those rare managers that comes by every once in a long while; and once you work with her, you’d never want to let go!!
Laura placed me in my current position. It was a pleasure to work with Laura. She quickly found a position which matched my requirements, skills and experience. A year and a half later it is still proving to be a great match for me and my employer.
Josh a highly capable professional who knows how to get things moving, AND he is also a great guy. He helped me along my career path and his professionalism and values earned my respect. I highly recommend him.
I have known Josh for many years. He helped me with job placement many years ago. As I have grown in my professional career to Supervisory positions, I have utilized his professional services to provide skilled staff. He’s very personable, professional and knowledgeable. And he’s also one of the most pleasant people you could ever meet. We may not talk often but when we do, he remembers me and knows the caliber of staff that I’m looking for. Thanks Josh and keep doing what you do!!
I worked for approximately 4 years with Josh. He is one of the main recruiters for CRH Internal Audit in the USA. He (and his network) introduced a significant number of high quality candidates that accepted positions and made a career in CRH. In one odd case that didn’t work out he still solved the issue and went beyond the contract that was in place. On a less serious note, he is fun to work with!
I had the pleasure of working with Josh for 6 years and interacted with him for over 10 years as I referred his business to colleagues. I could not have asked for a better staffing recruiter as he knows how to target his applicants’ skill sets required to send the right people fitted for our open positions. As Accounts Payable Manager I utilized his temporary staffing side of his business majority of the time which yielded excellent results as I later hired them on as permanent staff members on my team. Josh is personable and very knowledgeable in Finance Accounting arena. He gets to know his clients before attempting to present applicants for either temporary, long-term assignments or hired permanent into the roles. On one single occasion I ran into a situation where an applicant turned out to be the wrong fit as their personality was conflicting with my whole team. Josh took matters to heart and quickly resolved the issue by having that person removed and a replacement in their spot inside of a week’s turnaround, Bravo! I highly recommend, without reservation, Josh for your organization’s staffing needs in Finance Accounting roles.
We have utilized Polaris and his team for our professional staffing needs many times. He provided exactly the professional talent and diverse skillsets that we required. He seems to always have several strong candidates that fit our exact needs. Additionally, Josh is excellent to follow-up and ensure that we are getting exactly what we need, very service oriented. I highly recommend Josh and Polaris.
Josh has been instrumental in helping my group find the right candidates to hire at Verizon where timing was of the essence. What is unique about Josh is the fact that he spent time at our offices speaking with existing team members to get hands on experience and knowledge about what we do. Other recruiters just simply read the job description and then started e-mailing me resumes that were obviously a poor fit! This keen attention to detail has enabled Josh to save me countless hours by finding the right fit for our team. We at Verizon are very grateful to Josh and the rest of the team at Polaris for their diligent efforts in getting it right the first time:)
I have utilized Josh from Polaris many times over the years and he has always provided me with top notch folks! If you need to use a firm to find top talent, I highly recommend Polaris.
