"It has been a pleasure to work with Melissa for the past five years, as she has assisted me and Cooper Standard Automotive with our recruiting needs. She embraces any new search with persistence and diligence. She does a phenomenal job keeping candidates engaged and clients informed on the status of her search. Once a candidate of hers is selected for hire, she follows through with every step of the on-boarding process and makes it a point to follow up post hire to ensure that both parties are mutually satisfied. I find Melissa to be personable and easy to work with. She is very ambitious, efficient, and professional. I give her my highest recommendation, without reservation."
