I am pleased to write this recommendation for Chris. There are many IT firms looking for the right talent, but Chris made sure to only discuss those that he knew would be beneficial to me, based on my requirements as an employee. His process was informative and well-structured, giving me all the information necessary to be informed fully. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the company as well, and gave great advice when preparing me for the interview process. Once I was offered the job, he continued his dialogue with me, to make sure I was completely happy with my decision. With many recruiters out there, Chris is a sure pick to help you find the best place for you to work.

David D
Sr. Account Executive

From my experience, it is very rare to find more efficient, transparent, and supportive recruiters than Vortex. From day one, they set realistic expectations, objectives, but most importantly, makes you feel more than just a client in their book of business. Their innate ability to build meaningful relationships is palpable, and seemingly rare in this industry. I was always so impressed with their immediate follow-up protocol and accommodating availability (either on the clock or not, it did not matter to them).

Mara S.
Business Development Executive

I was fortunate enough to work with Chris while looking for a technology focused sales opportunity out of state. Unlike previous recruiters I have worked with, Chris was focused on what it was I wanted in a career, and only suggested options which fit those parameters. He was thorough, organized and extremely professional before, during and even after the interview process. Chris was constantly in contact, making sure I was prepared for the various interview stages, and also that the company and I were a good fit for each other. I strongly recommend his services to anybody interested in taking the next step in their career.

Patrick B.
Account Executive

I have had the pleasure to work with Chris while in my role as a Senior Account Executive in the staffing and recruiting group at CareerBuilder. Chris is unlike any recruiter I have ever worked with. He truly listens to what a candidate wants in his or her next career opportunity. He will not sell a candidate on a position or company, he genuinely is seeking to align a candidates goals with the right opportunity for that candidate. Chris not only will present the right opportunities to a candidate however he will also offer any advice he may have with his strong track record in the staffing industry. He truly believes in the mission behind staffing and putting people to work. He develops incredibly strong relationships with his candidates in order for them to come back to him or refer him to their friends/family as I have been proud to do a few different times. Chris views recruitment and being a recruiter in a unique way and has a unique process that I have seen works for several people. I am proud to write this professional recommendation for him.

Vortex Staffing is the best executive search consultant firm that I have worked with when it comes to finding top talent in the IT Channel. Vortex Staffing truly knows talent in the Information Technology arena. Most of the executive search firms (or agency recruiters) that I have worked with throughout the years don’t listen to the needs of the client and try to have a “One size fits all” approach to their hiring needs. They send resumes (most of the time unqualified) and hope they stick. You don’t get what you pay for. Vortex Staffing is the complete opposite. Working with them is how a search firm and client partnership should be. Vortex Staffing has earned my trust as a partner who knows how to assess recruiting processes, identify gaps, and put together a talent acquisition strategy that is successfully executed. In my 4+ years experience working with Vortex Staffing, I have come to know a company who is passionate about their clients and truly wants to find the best talent to help them succeed. Vortex Staffing is professional, respectful, dedicated, and reliable. If I ever have a need to partner with a search firm, Vortex Staffing is the first and last call I make. I give Vortex Staffing my highest endorsement.

Sr. Director of Sales Talent Acquisition

Vortex Staffing is a very dedicated search firm that has produced significant results for our company. Our relationship has been an extremely profitable one and we look forward to continued success with Vortex Staffing! Highly recommended!

Doug K
Vice President

Vortex Staffing does a fantastic job of finding highly skilled, highly engaging, and highly motivated technical sales individuals. I relied on Vortex Staffing to help me build out my organization in Chicago and I was very pleased with the results. Vortex is thorough, organized, and stays focused on your needs to ensure they are getting you exactly what you need (not just what you asked for!). I would recommend Vortex Staffing to anyone looking to build out or upgrade a technical sales team.

Scott P
Director of Engineering

Vortex Staffing is an excellent search firm who has a knack for identifying talented people that would be a good fit for positions that are vacant. Vortex Staffing has extensive technical experience and is one of the few recruiters that can talk the talk and walk the walk. Vortex Staffing is honest and works hard for both the clients who have posted jobs and the candidates who apply for them. In my experience I have had poor experiences with recruiters, but by far Vortex Staffing is the best, hands down!

Ikram B
CIO

As a hiring manager, I have had the pleasure of working with Vortex Staffing for the past 2 years. In that time, Vortex Staffing has quickly become my favorite recruiting firm to work with. They have a keen knack for understanding the business that we are in and truly vetting out prospective candidates. This is especially difficult with the nuances and niche aspects of our business, an area where most recruiters have fallen short. I know when I see a candidate from Vortex Staffing, it is someone that is worthy of serious consideration. To date Vortex Staffing has helped us fill a handful of positions. In every case, those candidates have turned out to be some of our top hires and continue to exceed expectation to this day.

Vortex Staffing’s dedication to their clients is the bench mark in the industry. Vortex Staffing continues to focus on speed and execution.

Michael B
Vice President of Sales

I would highly recommend Vortex Staffing to any organization looking to add technical sales talent. Vortex Staffing has been instrumental in helping to build out our national sales organization this year. We’ve built a great working relationship and I’ve come to trust their recommendations when it comes to candidate selection. I truly appreciate their willingness to keep working a difficult search and not give up when the role seems impossible to fill. I have found the team to be knowledgeable, dedicated and easy to work with. That combined with quality candidates they have found for us makes for a great experience with this top notch staffing firm.

Vortex Staffing truly understands what it means and what it takes to partner with a client. Vortex Staffing delivers on their commitments in a timely fashion, looks for innovative ways to service an account, and works to make sure that account management is transparent to their customers. When I suggested that we have a quarterly executive-level account review, Vortex Staffing made it happen — including creating “dash board” reports related to account activity and our purchasing patterns. Always a gentleman, I enjoyed working with Nick Barton and the Vortex Staffing team!

Norbert K

Vortex Staffing has had serious impact on our ability to build top-notch sales teams. Vortex Staffing listens well and delivers people that not only have the right skills, but are a good fit. Vortex Staffing does an excellent job in qualifying the candidates, thus saving enormous amounts of time on job searches. One of the best technical recruiting firms I have had the pleasure to work with.
