As a recruiter I treat every relationship with respect and integrity. I have built my career on my reputation and am proud that most of my business has come from personal referrals.
“I have never had a better experience working with a recruiter, internal or external. Mel really "gets" what my team looks for, and so she does a fantastic job at screening for the type of people who we are likely to hire. She does an excellent job at screening for potential issues up front, preparing the candidate for the interviews, helping get them excited about the job, and assisting in offer negotiations. It's not surprising that we've hired candidates that she (& Boris) have sent us at triple our normal hiring rate!” December 11, 2007

“I have had the opportunity to work with numerous recruiters hiring developers of various kinds over the last few years. During that time I've developed a great appreciation for Mel's skills. She listens better, she searches hard for great candidates, not just whoever nominally meets the job description, and she doesn't spam you with lots of mediocre resumes in hopes something will stick. She respects your time as a hiring manager and provides a real service.” May 13, 2009

“Mel is a very personable, detail-oriented and knowledgeable recruiter. She took the time to understand what are my needs and to ensure that the match between my potential employer and my skills and preferences was perfect. She guided me every step in my job search and has not stopped helping me even after I got an offer letter. I would highly recommend Mel as a recruiter for anyone trying to find a job in the high-tech field.” December 19, 2008

“Mel made looking for a new job feel seamless. She went out of her way to contact companies that weren't currently hiring just to see if they had an interest. As it turned out, this was the right thing to do, and I got hired by one of those companies. She's intelligent and get's you the information you need in a timely manner, without feeling overbearing. I would definitely work with Mel again.” December 18, 2008

“Mel really understands the tech space well and was able to help me find a great technical/cultural fit. She has a lot of connections with the startup space, was upfront and honest, and helped me manage the entire job search process so that I could focus on the interviews.” December 17, 2008
~ Eric - Software Engineer
“As any hiring manager knows, it's easy to find a recruiter. It's just hard to find a really good one who is motivated by more than just the quick finder's fee. Mel Condos is one of those rare finds in recruiting where she's motivated to find top-notch folks, but where her primary focus is matchmaking, helping people like me find great additions to the team where the fit is not just based on credentials, but on chemistry, trust, personality and more. Mel is genuinely interested in building a successful bridge between candidates and clients where everyone is completely happy and thrilled with the process. She's attentive to feedback, and helps me find solid leaders from all different backgrounds (engineering, design, art, product management, marketing and more). I've hired her at two different companies, and heartily recommend her if you're looking for great talent to grow your team.” November 25, 2007
~ Mark - VP of Product and Marketing
“Mel is a terrific go-getter as a recruiter! She created opportunity when none was there by representing me and my skills to the right person. I'd definitely work with her again!” November 13, 2007
