"I cannot say enough good things about the experience that I had with Gary and Mark. I have worked with several recruiters from different firms in the past and have never felt more prepared or informed as I did with this team. They went out of their way to make sure I had everything that I needed for my interviews and were only a phone call away for any questions that I had. They did a great job getting to know me and my career goals, walking through my resume and talking through my experience, not just the titles that I have held to find me the best fit possible. I would 1000% recommend them to anyone!"

"Thankful to Gary and the Synergy Search team for aligning me with a great opportunity that checked all of my boxes. Gary was considerate of my personal and professional goals, and only brought jobs to the table that he thought would help me meet those goals. Once the best opportunity was identified, he helped me prepare for the interview, making sure I knew what to expect and he even made suggestions on how I could differentiate myself. Gary and Synergy Search did an amazing job staffing me in my current role, and I will continue to call on them in the future."
