Mike is an experienced recruiter who understood my expertise and listened to my needs, based on which he successfully paired me up with the job that suit me professionally and financially. He is professional and yet friendly. I felt comfortable sharing my thoughts and requests with him along the way. I would not hesitate to go back to him should a need of career change come up.

Any job search has the potential to be stressful, but once I ended up in the hands of Foster McKay, I was put at ease. Within 10 minutes of responding to one of their job postings, I received a phone call. I was put in touch with Mike Keown. Mike had a personal connection to the hiring manager at the firm I applied to, and Mike vouched for the manager's character and boy, was he spot on. Mike handled the process seamlessly and helped me feel confident in the interviews and resulting negotiation. I've developed a sense of trust in Mike that all candidates deserve when going through a job transition

I had a great experience working with Kate! Kate was very personable and was not pushy like recruiters at other firms I spoke with. She was genuinely interested in finding me a job I was excited about and helped me find my job at CR Bard (now Becton Dickinson) in the Finance department. I've been with the company for 3.5 years now and I couldn't be happier!

Kate and John were great to work with. Besides assisting with my recent job search, they were able to provide interview preparation and advice. Having worked with the hiring company before, they knew the interviewers and were able to guide me on what they were looking for. I really felt well prepared walking into all of my interviews.

Both my brother and I have had the pleasure of working with Michael Marotta from Foster McKay. He was very attentive, professional, and worked hard to find us jobs that we were truly looking for. He placed me at my current job that I have been at for 2+ years and I am extremely happy. He is not like other recruiters that just want a placement fee; he works hard and really listens to what you are looking for in hope to find you a good fitting job. He prepares you and keeps you in the loop every step of the way through the interview process which is very helpful. I highly recommend working with Michael

I have worked with Kate Donato at Foster McKay numerous times now and every experience has been fantastic. Kate has helped me on both sides of the search, by both placing me and bringing me candidates to fill my team. I can't say enough good things about Kate and her team and I would recommend them to anyone on either side of the job market.
