-Staff Accountant
"A friend of mine provided me with the contacts for Jennifer Cedro and Emily Lovitt at Professional Recruiting when I was talking about looking for a new job opportunity. Contacting Professional Recruiting was the best decision I could have made. Emily contacted me within an hour of sending in my resume to set up an interview with her. Emily's confidence in her ability to find a job that suited me during our first conversation was refreshing because I have never had luck sending my resume through job sites. Within a week, Emily had already set me up with a company for an interview. After only 2 weeks, I interviewed with 2 additional companies. By week 3, I had the hardest decision to make because I received 3 very competitive job offers. Jennifer and Emily were there to assist and provide insight on how to determine which job was best for me professionally and personally. I look forward to my new future endeavor and suggest that anyone looking for a new job opportunity use Professional Recruiting. Having people like Jennifer and Emily in your corner while looking for a job, makes the process smoother and less stressful."

Making a career move is not easy and they helped me by providing insight why this career move is a good one for me. Thank you Jennifer and Emily for not giving up on me. I 100% recommend Professional Recruiting for your next career move."

Everyone has been so nice and they are all so intelligent, I feel like I could learn so much from each person. I'm working there with another UNO student, and he has been a big help too so far with all the questions he asks me! It's nice to help him understand because it's been giving me an opportunity to think about the work more. Overall it's been a much more enjoyable experience than my previous work experience and I'm incredibly grateful to you both for helping me get here."

“Working with Jennifer and Emily was an amazing experience! Throughout the whole process they were responsive and considerate. Any time I had issues or doubts, Emily & Jennifer were just a phone call away. They gave helpful feedback, as well as gave me details on what I should consider when accepting any offer. They made sure I didn't blindly accept the first offer I received, because there is always more to a job than a paycheck. I have recommended them to close friends who are looking to make changes in their careers as well, because I know they will ensure an easy transition for wherever my friends go. Thank you for all that you do! You both made a difficult experience so much better!”

All this is to say, you literally are a fairy godmother. I cannot thank you enough for pushing me to apply ASAP. I'm more excited for my career than ever before, and I never dreamed before talking with you on Monday that I'd be in a position where I could potentially receive multiple offers. It's safe to say you'll be one of my first calls if offers do start coming. Thank you so much for the advice you've offered me thus far. I'll be sure to keep you posted."
