I worked with Julia Kwan at Clarity. She reached out to me on Linkedin and told me that my profile looked like a good fit for a company she was working with at the time (She's proactive!). Her communication and scheduling were always timely and flexible. She is also a delight to work with. She was receptive to what I was looking for in a position and sent me a good mix of roles/companies to interview with. I feel that she went above and beyond what I expected (I have worked with multiple staffing firms in the past). Throughout the whole process she felt like a partner who was on my side, rather

Courtney Keane at Clarity helped me get lined up with the job of my dreams. She was fantastic! She guided me through the whole process, helped me prep for interviews, touched base with me after each interview, and was completely transparent about where I stood in the process. She was completely professional, but also remained personable as well. She is fantastic at what she does and is the best recruiter I've worked with. I would 10/10 recommend Courtney!

Found my current job through Clarity, and I could not have had a better experience!!! Kolt helped me in such a hard time of unemployment and uncertainty. He listened to everything I wanted out of a job and was so great about checking in and helping me prep for my interview! I LOVE my job. It is such a great fit, and I would have never found it on my own without Clarity!! If you are on the fence at all, do it--you seriously won't regret it!
