“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.”

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.”

"I've been working as an attorney in the retail industry for nearly 20 years. In fact, a recruiter helped me land my first legal job. I've worked with a number of them over the years, but I have never had a better experience than I did working with Lisa and Marc-Allen.

From our initial conversation all the way through accepting a new position, Lisa was not only magnificent, but equally challenged me and encouraged me every step of the way. Starting with my initial resume review, she was able to help me focus on making those changes that would help me stand out on paper. But it went beyond that.

My interview prep was extensive and I've never seen the level of detail that she included. It was truly a top-notch experience.

Finally, the support from her and Marc-Allen didn't simply stop once I had accepted the new role. She continued to follow up with me to ensure that any questions I had were still being answered and any needs were addressed."
