Working with Tim was great. He made a few minor tweaks to my resume and within a few days I was interviewing with the company he though I would be a great fit at. The process wijth Tim was smooth throughout and the communication was top notch throughout, something I had not had great luck with while working with other recruiters. I highly recommend and will definitely use again in the future.
