It was an absolute pleasure working with Kim Schmidt of ESC. I've worked with a lot of recruiting professionals in NY, but have never been treated so well throughout the process. The Educated Solutions Corp team communicates quickly and efficiently, ensuring all information is clear to all parties. It's obvious they care about the people they are working with, making the entire recruiting process enjoyable.

I had a great experience working with Kim Schmidt at ESC - she was prompt, thorough and made me feel like I always understood what was going on throughout the process. She provided tips for the interview process, and a folder full of onboarding information once I officially got the job. It was really comprehensive and I really enjoyed working with her. I would recommend this company!
