Candidates

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 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

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.

Mike P.
Sr. Account 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.

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.

President

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

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!

Executive Vice President of Sales

Working with Nick Barton and his recruiting team has been highly impactful to the sales teams I lead. Nick’s energy and enthusiasm is very contagious and complimentary to the synergy of a team atmosphere. From my vantage point, Nick’s successes are greatly due to his dedication, creativity and willingness to ask the right questions and accept constructive criticism. We have nothing but great things to say about his work ethic and the results that have always been produced. Nick does a great job of building relationships and strategically working with customers and clients to understand their needs far beyond the normal bounds of his responsibilities. In summary, I would describe Nick as the pistons of the engine where all the energy derives from. He truly is the definition of hard working and is without a doubt dedicated to his craft. I highly recommend Vortex Staffing and their services to any sales leader that is serious about hiring the best sales talent the industry has to offer!
