“Jessica Gurley is an outstanding recruiter and let me tell you why. She was assigned to find a rare disease sales role. When I first talked to her, she did an outstanding job of describing the needs of the position and the company she was recruiting for. And upon passing along my résumé, she did not stop there. She continued to communicate with me about the position, AND for each interview that I had along the way. She helped me prepare like no other recruiter I had come across, which were many, as I had recently been laid-off from my previous position.

Jessica was outstanding regarding communication, feedback, preparation, and even negotiation. Jessica works hard for her clients and also has an encouraging upbeat approach to her job. I wouldn’t have received the offer and taken the position without her! I HIGHLY recommend Jessica Gurley!”

Jessica is the real deal – thorough, thoughtful, kind, and tenacious. When Jessica and I worked together, her drive and commitment impressed me. Now that she is an executive recruiter I see the same drive and commitment to fill openings and to serve candidates. I can’t count how many candidates have told me that Jessica took time with them even though she didn’t have a fit for them. If you want to understand how thorough Jessica is, check out how she presents the roles she’s recruiting for. She doesn’t miss a beat and gives potential candidates all the info they need. She thoroughly understands her clients’ businesses and it shows in how she talks about their history, mission, and culture.”
