“My experience with recruiters in the past was typically lackluster and often left quite a bit to be desired. Jessica with Synergy Search, however, went above and beyond all expectations.

There is no doubt in my mind Jessica, Matt and Josh provide tremendous value to both job seekers as well as employers seeking the next great hire.”
