"I worked with Lisa on several recruiting searches. Before each search, Lisa takes the time to understand the company's needs and asks all the right questions. She was able to present us with very qualified candidates and help us close the search quickly. She does a great job following up and giving feedback throughout the process. It was an absolute pleasure working with her!"

"When the Marc-Allen Associates team first called me 13 years ago to discuss the "perfect" position it all came down to their knowledge and expertise in matching the right candidate with the right company. They are thorough and knowledgeable, and their efforts serve both the client and the candidate. They are expert recruiters that I highly recommend to any professional seeking a career, or any company seeking a professional recruiting firm."

"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."

“I have been associated with Marc-Allen Associates for the past 20 years. They have guided me to successful career decisions and have provided top talent for organizations I have led.  Marc-Allen Associates has been and will be my first choice to identify and place talent.  They are a highly professional organization with deep roots in the retail industry and have the ability to find the right candidates who meet both the technical and cultural needs of the organization.  I have NEVER been disappointed with new partners hired through Marc-Allen Associates.”

“I have been working with Marc-Allen Associates since 1997 and regard the firm as one of our most valued business partners. They understand what I'm looking for in terms of technical skills and recognize the behavioral profile that candidates must possess to be successful in our environment. They consistently deliver candidates that meet or exceed my expectations.”

“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.”

“I've worked with Marc-Allen Associates on a large number of searches since 2006. They have proved themselves to be responsive, very well connected in the retail space, and of great value. They are tenacious and work hard to identify the right candidate, and have placed some fabulous talent into our organization. They're a pleasure to work with.”

"I would like to take this opportunity to provide you with feedback on Lisa - she was very professional and courteous in all of our interactions. In addition, I can tell that her work-ethic is superior to other recruiters I have interacted with recently; she always responded very quickly, no matter when I contacted her.  Most importantly, she was exceedingly knowledgeable about the role we were discussing and her knowledge about the business and retail in general were very impressive. I hope that you pass this along."

"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 wanted to say 'thank you' and reinforce that we think you have exceeded expectations so far on these 2 critical searches.

I have a very high bar for recruiters, and we are not an easy client, but you have been “As Advertised” from John.  Your rigor around the process, assessment skills, support on JDs, making our jobs easier, not harder, excellent attention to detail, and most of all, delivering well-prepared quality candidates that match the profile have been on point. As an additional point of differentiation from other firms,  the diversity of your candidate pool has been especially impressive.

I have never sent a note like this to any firm or recruiter, but it is well deserved.  A+ job by you and your team, and I wanted to say “thank you” for the dedication and support in the middle of this search.  I know each of these searches is a journey with twists and turns, and you have handled the ups, downs, and surprises very well. As I said, I have been impressed with your performance.

“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.”

"From my perspective, Marc-Allen Associates has three characteristics that make them a special firm. The first is always functioning with the highest level of integrity in everything they do. Second is that they get things done, and finally, the are easy to work with."

"I highly recommend Marc-Allen Associates. I have had the pleasure of working with them in the past, and they are honest, professional, and great at keeping open the lines of communication. They not only know the ins and outs of their profession but also have a wide network of colleagues to draw upon."

“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 sincerely appreciate all that you have done through this process. You have been a wonderful advocate and the most thoroughly prepared recruiter I have ever worked with.”
