“I have worked with Marc-Allen Associates for over 20+ years and find their professionalism and results in the recruitment arena exceptional in the Retail industry. I would highly recommend Marc-Allen Associates to anyone who is looking for a Talent Acquisition expert!

“I strongly recommend Marc-Allen Associates. My experience with them was as a candidate. They helped me navigate through an extensive interview and selection process at Burlington Stores. They were extremely effective at helping me understand the culture of the organization and the personality of key executives in that organization. This helped me decide if I was an appropriate fit for this company. I was indeed the successful candidate, and I am enjoying the beginnings of a long and successful career with my new company. I also appreciate their effectiveness from the perspective of an Employer who has sought to fill key executive positions.”

"I am pleased to recommend Lisa Schwartz. She is a true professional who is pro-active, terrific communication skills and very thorough in her searching for candidates. She receives and acts upon feedback and is very flexible and timely in her response to requests. I would happily utilize Lisa in future search efforts."

"Lisa and Marc-Allen Associates were extremely helpful and provided tremendous value in my most recent job search. Her professionalism, responsiveness and support during the entire process was by far the best search experience of my career.

Lisa took the time to ensure I was a good fit before we engaged with her client and was very transparent during the entire process. She thoroughly prepared me for each step of interview - offering insights and guidance that was invaluable. Lisa followed up with me during each step with thoughtful feedback and updates from her client.

I would highly recommend Marc-Allen Associates and Lisa for any executive or leader looking for their next career opportunity!"

“I have had the opportunity and pleasure to work with Marc-Allen Associates team both as a candidate and hiring manager in my career.  They have a proven track record of finding the right candidates with the best credentials and experience. They are tenacious, trustworthy, and highly ethical.  I recommend Marc-Allen Associates to my colleagues because they are the best. “

"I have recently worked with Lisa and Marc Allen Associates to secure a new job opportunity. I have to say that Lisa was the most prepared and detail-oriented recruiter that I have ever worked with. She gave solid background information about the company and culture, as well as valuable insight into how to approach each interview. It was a complete pleasure to work with her, and she was critical to my success in obtaining this new opportunity. She is professional, personable, and dedicated to her clients."

“It is my pleasure to write this unqualified recommendation for the Marc-Allen Associates team.  Before they began their first executive search at our company, they spent significant time meeting me and the rest of the executive team to really understand our hiring profile, the types of executives we were looking for, and the culture we were trying to create. They have gone on to fill dozens of jobs with outstanding candidates that fit superbly within our organization.  I truly appreciate the partnership and relationship that continues to this day.”

“Marc-Allen Associates was our number one outside recruiter at Foot Locker for many years. We hired dozens of high-quality people through them, and almost all became valuable employees. They helped create the turnaround story at Foot Locker, which was very near bankruptcy. Many of our hires from them were critical in saving Footlocker. Their input was accurate and supportive of our goals. They never treated us like a "to do" list and always forwarded us great candidates. A relationship with them is long term, and they manage the relationship in that manner.”

"Marc-Allen Associates are the "go to" recruiters I now use for a lot of our retail openings. They are extremely responsive business partners and provide a well-qualified slate of candidates for each opportunity. They go the extra mile with the candidates they present, in that their communication with them and with us is superior. I view Marc-Allen Associates as a long-term business partnership, which is what I look for in my recruiter relations. I would without any hesitation recommend them to other companies (as long as they don't have the same openings we do and at the same time)!"

"One thing I will say, Lisa, is that I've talked to a few recruiters, and I must say that I found working with you and your team so helpful. You are so organized, well-prepared, and detail-oriented, which I much appreciated throughout the whole process. Whether things work out in the future or not, I must say it was a pleasure!

"I worked with Lisa on my most recent job search. She is professional, well-organized, and a pleasure to work with. She took time to thoroughly understand my background, ensure that the company and I were a good fit, and supported me through the entire interview process. She is responsive and transparent, and her feedback and guidance were extremely valuable in helping me prepare for each step of the interview process.

Lisa genuinely cares about the candidate's success. I would recommend her for helping with career searches and placement."

"I have had the opportunity to work with the Marc-Allen Associates team over the last 6 years, and I have found them to be true professionals. They bring forward great candidates and, when needed, do so in a confidential manner. They have very high standards, vet candidates thoroughly, and present only the “best of the best”.  I trust Marc-Allen Associates, and they will be my very first choice for external talent recruitment because they always have our organization’s best interests in mind."

“Lisa and Marc-Allen Associates, Inc. have helped to fill some really challenging niche roles that required very specific industry experience, with some stellar, high-quality candidates. Lisa is easy to work with; we’re always on the same page. She is awesome at what she does and knows how to help lock-in candidates. In fact, she was instrumental in filling 2 complex Manager roles in just the past 2 months!”

"During our initial conversation and throughout the interviewing process, Lisa shared a significant amount of key information regarding the company and how to prepare for the interview process. She provided links to pertinent articles and reached out to the internal recruiter to get answers to my questions. She responded quickly to all of my requests and was always available when I needed her.

Lisa had me comfortably prepared for each interview so I was able to be my best during, what can be a stressful time. After each interview, she would follow up to get feedback from me regarding how it went and evaluate how the support she was providing was working. Ultimately, I was offered and accepted the job!

You are the only recruiter who followed through on things that they have told me. It speaks volumes and makes candidates more seriously consider the role and relocation, as well.”

"Lisa is a great partner and resource for anyone looking for their next hire, not only to the company but also to the possible candidate. She went above and beyond throughout the process, communicating the next steps and providing resources to prepare me for them.

I have never had such a close line of communication with a recruiter before, and I was amazed at how well Lisa managed the entire process on both ends. She was a pleasure to collaborate with, and I know she is rooting for my success in my new role."
