“Michael’s persistence and warmth turned a cold recruiting call to an amazing opportunity. I was happy at my prior employer but was a little bored and didn’t see a clear path of growth. He somehow sensed that, encouraged me to just have a quick chat with educational tech company that was seeking a HR Manager. I reluctantly agreed and I’m happy I did.
“After being hired on, I also reached out to Michael for recruiting services for some of our roles. It’s always a pleasure to work with him!”
