Their responsiveness, precision in providing excellent candidates, and understanding of our business made them a true strategic partner.”

“As our organization expanded globally, The Connors Group became a key partner in scaling our technology, marketing, and finance functions.

The team’s consultative, responsive approach has helped us build foundational systems, strengthen cross-functional teams, support ongoing digital transformation and sustain momentum through change and growth.”

Whether we need to backfill a critical role or ramp up quickly for a new phase, we know we can count on them to deliver. Their team understands the complexity of our environment and continues to be a trusted extension of our organization!”

“Sheri is a kind and sharp recruiting executive that makes things happen. We developed a great partnership over the years which made her my first contact when I needed to quickly supplement my team with additional resources for several projects. She’s a great listener who can quickly assess requirements and identify potential candidates. We were able to hire great professionals to help us meet our goals. Her knowledge of the industries she supports and information about current hiring trends is outstanding.”

They have helped me fill talent gaps (both contract and permanent) in project management, business analysis, user experience and quality assurance. I enjoy working with The Connors Group because they take time to really understand the role, the organization and the culture. From there, they screen candidates and do their best to ensure the right fit. I’ve had great success with The Connors Group and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for great talent.”

"I have worked with many other search firms over the years. None have done as good a job as The Connors Group did with understanding the required candidate profile and our environment, and then quickly providing solid candidates meeting those specifications. We did not have to spend any time unnecessarily screening resumes for candidates that weren't a fit. In fact, all candidates presented to us on the first pass, were candidates we wanted to interview immediately. Great to work with."

"Jackie and her team are technology professional placement experts that, after decades in a transaction oriented business, continue to prioritize the personal fit and success of the candidates that they represent. They understand the needs and culture of the employer, and then do a great job of matching those to the right candidate. Candidates and employers alike will always be treated with the utmost professionalism, yet with a friendly, familial touch that translate to a great experience and a successful career."

Sheri and her team were able to attract, engage, and recruit strong talent for all levels of our organization from analyst to executive including difficult to fill positions with niche skillsets!"

“Christine is, hands down, one of the best in the business. My current firm is a client of The Connors Group, and Christine has worked with us on Executive placement (in fact, she placed me at the firm). She is one of the few executive recruiters with whom I have worked over the years who takes time to get to know the client, and the prospective candidates to ensure a great fit, not just on paper, but culturally and for the long run. She is sociable and caring, using her wisdom and experience to advise clients and candidates—leading to excellent outcomes. If you are thinking about working with her, and The Connors Group Team, just do it. The capabilities and expertise become apparent in the tangible and intangible results.”

"Patti goes above and beyond to find us the perfect fit and then works to ensure they sign. We have recommended the agency to colleagues and will continue to do so, as we have been very pleased with the service we have received."

"Jackie and the team at The Connors Group is a good example of “What good looks like” in an IT Recruiting Organization. She and her staff have a sound understanding of the industries they represent and can speak easily with a candidate or a client on the position requirement. It appears to come from an overall company work ethic. Professional, thorough, and instilling pride in what they do. If you have worked with Jackie or any of her team you see that consistency throughout. Jackie thrives on making a significant positive impact to a business with and through people. I highly recommend her partnership."

“I have known Christine for 5 years and she is one of the most caring, thoughtful executive recruiters professionals I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with. She is a dedicated business partner, mentor, and friend to the people she serves. She is able to fill executive positions through her attention to detail and the ability to move things forward with both the clients and candidates. Christine is a very intelligent, thoughtful strategic business partner. You couldn’t ask for more.”

"I’ve been a client of Patti’s for several years and have continued to value her expertise, network, and knowledge of the digital transformation space. She has quickly become my “go-to” partner on challenging, highly-specialized (technical), and client-facing roles during a time of rapid expansion at my firm. Patti is a true business partner in that she cares about your company and job opening like it’s her own. She understands the business and stops at nothing to secure talent if it’s the right move for both the individual and the company!"

Anyone lucky enough to directly work with her will surely have a positive experience; I always do."

I appreciate her honesty and transparency in the process. Remains a credible resource for me, especially with difficult to fill roles."

"Jackie is excellent. We had to completely restaff our entire IT team in NY and Greensboro under a great deal of pressure. Jackie not only delivered but did it in a professional and time-sensitive manner. Jackie has an infectious positive perspective."

"Patti is a consummate professional. She is also one of the most supportive and positive individuals I have had the pleasure to encounter in her industry. She has an extensive network that she has clearly cultivated and curated over her career, and she leverages them to benefit both the candidates and companies for which she is working. She loves what she does, and she does it with extraordinarily well."

"In the often confusing and cluttered arena of recruiting, finding the right talent that meshes well within your organization is hard to find. Jackie is one of the few who I know that works relentlessly for both candidates and hiring managers...taking the time to truly understand a candidates career aspirations, and making sure not just skills match (which is what most do) but the cultural dynamic as well. Of course having deep valuable connections and a true passion for her profession makes her one of the most valuable connections you’ll have."

Since that time I have hired multiple IT personnel from her and have always found her personable, trustworthy and someone who always produces excellent results. Every individual I have hired through her has seamlessly integrated into the company and was a perfect fit. Patti is a delight to work with and takes a sincere interest in making sure that the right people are placed in the right positions. I would hire from her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for qualified IT professionals."

"Sheri has been an excellent recruiter for me as CIO to work with, when seeking the right talented, qualified people to join our IT team and support a diverse, global business. Sheri is always available to respond to the inevitable twists and turns of the recruitment process. She is always cheerful and flexible as circumstances of either us as the employer or the candidates change, and this makes her a valued partner for our IT recruitment campaigns over several years."

"I have worked with Trish initially to place JD Edwards staff, but have gone back time and time again to place other positions. She is the only recruiter I know who would line us up with candidates that were excellent matches. Other recruiters will send over anyone, but Trish only brings the ones that are the right fit for the company. She is always my first choice."
