This place is not at all helpful and extremely unprofessional. Waste of time and the way they talk to people is unheard of. The owner should be embarrassed by the way she handles herself and her company..yikes

As a career professional in the field of Executive Search, I have seen many search firms and recruiters come and go. When I moved to Long Island 10 years ago and asked around, Nielsen Associates and Renee Nielsen were names that immediately surfaced as being a go-to resource, known for high quality and integrity.

She had no clue where I lived in association to the job's location or even the cities nearby. It's obviously
