Straight from the horse's mouth, here is what our candidates and clients have to say about us!

"I am writing to express my sincere thanks to Scott Rice for his support in helping me get what I consider to be my dream job. In applying for this job I came with experience but was putting the order of priorities of that experience differently than what Scott had suggested. I was more focused on current experience as a major benefit for me in this process. Scott gave me great advice as to what experience to draw from, who to ask for a reference from, and excellent rationale for why to prioritize these experiences. It is because of that advice that I was selected from a very competitive pool of experienced candidates. My new employer specifically pointed out that my emphasis on that experience was a determining factor in my selection over other exceptional candidates. Scott reviewed my resume and letter of interest for this position and not only gave specific advice, but rationale for why. I couldn't be happier with the support I've been given by Scott Rice and would recommend his services to anyone looking to have a leg up on the competition in their job search."

"Simply put, Scott Rice is one of the very best recruiters that I have worked with in my 30-year career! what separates Scott from the pack is his genuine interest in each of the folks that he works with.

I first met Scott at Expo West in 2009. During this three-day show, many recruiters would stop by the booth and basically ask what you could do for them - "please let us know if you have any openings that you are searching for." This is a very standard line from recruiters.

When Scott stopped by our booth I said to myself, "here we go again." However, to my surprise, Scott actually asked about me. Scott asked about my career and experience. he asked about my family and told me some personal stories about himself. Not once did Scott ask what I could do for him, it was more about getting to know me. I have to tell you that this was a very refreshing approach and I immediately liked Scott.

Needless to say, I have worked with Scott ever since. I achieved my role as VP of Sales at Gardein 100% due to Scott. I have filled many roles with Scott's assistance - he never pushes, he just listens and works from there.

Scott is an outstanding recruiting resource and I would highly recommend him!"

- Rick Bauman, VP of Sales & Marketing

"I've known Scott Rice on a personal level for probably about 15 years or more. I can say we've shared numerous duck blinds together and made more memories than I can recount. That being said, we've rarely talked shop as our careers have very little in common, until about 5 years ago. That's when my employer, at the time, decided to make some severe changes that left me in a position that was, shall I say, less than desirable. I had decided to make a change and seek a new employer. This would not be an easy task as I was over 40 years old and as a police officer it would be difficult to make myself attractive to prospective employers. Adding to that, I had been with my previous employer for 22 years and had not prepped for an interview in as long. In talking with Scott he shared several strategies and tactics to help me stand out in an interview. It worked! I immediately had positive feedback from prospective employers and received 2 offers. I have to give Scott a big thank you as I feel his suggestions definitely made me stand out in a field that was full of younger candidates. Thanks again Scott!

"Scott hasn't only been my recruiter, he's been a great acquaintance in helping me with my career transition. He always calls me back and is willing to help. His recruiter list is fantastic as the fourth recruiter I contacted had a role and was placed there shortly after. I was amazed at the number of recruiters in the CPG/Natural Products industry! Additionally, Scott takes phenomenal ownership of his candidates, and knows how to build meaningful, long standing relationships with those he works with. He won't place you then forget about you. Scott will be constantly rooting for you on the side lines and will work with you to keep your career moving along the right path. Recruiter, career counselor, adviser... Scott wears many impactful hats in this industry and I've seen him wear them all. I'm very grateful for the working relationship we have established and trust him 100%!"
