It has been an absolute pleasure working with Magdalena. It's very clear that she has a sincere interest in her clients' success and she works so hard to ensure that they find the perfect role. She is always in touch every step of the way and makes sure you are confident and comfortable before going into an interview or putting you forth for a position. I love working with her and recommend any contact who is searching for a new role to her as a recruiter but more so as an advisor and confidant. She placed me in my current role (before providing me with quite a few amazing opportunities) and its been a great opportunity for me. I look forward to working with Magdalena in the future.

Magdalena is more than a recruiter - she takes the time to develop a close relationship with her clients. I had the pleasure of working with Magdalena when I was looking for a new HR role. Living in Calgary at the time, I was eager to move back to Ontario. The idea of finding a new job across the country was daunting. Magdalena and I connected and I immediately knew that I had her full support in my job search. She took the time to understand my interests and my career goals, ultimately leading to securing a position in a few weeks. Since that first initial contact with Magdalena more than two years ago, we have maintained a close relationship, both professionally and personally.

Five years ago, I was very fortunate to meet Magdalena during a period when I was exploring my own career opportunities. We established instant rapport, and she instilled confidence in me to pursue my goals. From the time of our initial meeting, we have developed a strong relationship (both personal and professional) and today we have a solid business partnership. Magdalena is a talented search professional who takes the time to listen and understand her client’s needs. She is methodical in her approach, and handles each situation with integrity and respect. Through dedication and hard work, Magdalena strives to deliver results with each assignment she accepts. Her commitment to her customers is commendable, and is second to none.
