Jeff played an instrumental role in helping me find the next career path. His mentality is not job placement but helping individuals find a more challenging place of future growth. This single aspect combined with his terrific personal, communication, and negotiation skills make him one of the elite in the industry. I would hire, consult, and reach out to him with any future requests."

“This letter is my personal recommendation for Matthew Siegel. Until just recently, I have been Matthew's client for recruitment. I found him to be consistently pleasant, tackling all obstacles with dedication and great ethic in getting me the right job that would best fit me.
Besides being a joy to work with, Matthew is a person who takes initiative and who was able to present to me the best job list in the industry and to communicate the benefits of each employer. He has always successfully developed a plan that allowed me not only to get in the door for a job but also to meet an employers needs to get them to make an offer in a short time. During my job search, we went through a list of clients who were looking for a candidate like myself and he was able to make sure he got me an interview for the job that would be a perfect fit and with the best offer. He exceeded beyond what I originally expected which was quit the surprise to me. Though I already have gotten a job thanks to him. I would definitely look forward in working with him again for any of my future job searches. Till then I thank Matthew Siegel for all he’s hard work and efforts in getting me my dream job. I highly recommend Mathew Siegel as a recruiter. He is an important asset for Elevate Recruiting Group and I would encourage anyone to work with him on his or her job search. Greg C

"Travis is the most involved recruiter I have ever worked with - from the initial conversations with him all the way through the hiring process. He is extremely proactive and attentive to every detail that will help an individual to get a job. He was able to get me a job within three weeks, and set up meetings with six different companies for me. I would most definitely recommend him to anyone, and when it's time to look for my next role, he will be the only one I will work with."

"Without question, Jeff Rust leads a team at Elevate that is at the top of their game -- their selfless integrity, responsiveness, insight, & good faith attributes are of the sort that are extremely difficult to find. Rather than focusing on the usual, monolithic, one-dimensional view of the world like so many of the other "dime-a-dozen" recruitment firms motivated by self-interest, Elevate takes their role at the finding very the best possible fit given one's career goals to a whole other level of insight, dedication, and seriousness of purpose. To put it plainly, you feel very comfortable trusting everyone at Elevate to do their very best for you, not just "sometimes" when it works "for them" but "always" when it works best for "you". That is the very rare and key intangible delivered by the Elevate "difference." I would not hesitate to give Jeff and his team the very highest level of recommendation, as their keen insights and industry relationships put them at the very top of the pyramid in their industry. It's really just that simple."

" The attention to detail (particularly my specific requirements and requests in the search for a new challenge in my career) as well as the amazing follow up separate Jason and Elevate from everyone else in the space... It truly felt as if I had a personal agent out there working to bring me the best opportunities with viable organizations, and there was never a day that went by without a note or phone call keeping things moving along...

“Cooper was a huge asset in helping secure my current role in the Digital Space. From the first step of the opportunity through each phase of the interviewing process, Cooper was always prepared with great feedback, advice and next steps. Cooper stood out from the other recruiters as he provided excellent communication and really took the time to understand my goals and making sure the opportunity was a mutual fit. I have recommended Cooper to my friends who are in the Digital space and in-market for a new position.”
-Charlie Roth
Nov 10, 2010 Cooper really tries to understand the needs of his clients and then find appropriate people to present. The same is true going the other way when he is representing the individual. The talent/recruiting market is extremely noisy and often can present little differentiation, so it was refreshing to find Cooper to be one of those rare individuals who found a way to distinguish himself through solid results and a tenacious work ethic. I would work with Cooper again and would recommend him to both employers in need of talent and individuals in search of a fulfilling job
