What people are saying,

  • Laurel placed me at Postmedia in 2010 through Tek Systems, and subsequently assisted in hiring a sizeable team while I was at Puresinse. The relationships Laurel builds are all real and she truly puts the interest of the client/consultant first. She quickly gains an understanding of business needs, and finds candidates that meet requirements to the T. She's also very adept at positioning candidates in a favourable light with clients, only for the right reasons. A true partner in Human Resources, she will impress you too!

  • There are so many great things I can say about Laurel! Laurel is an outstanding, hardworking and dedicated individual. She always goes above and beyond whether it is in her personal life or work life. Laurel will always puts others before herself and I saw this daily when we interacted with clients and consultants. The relationships Laurel builds are all real and she truly puts the interest of the client/consultant first. Working with Laurel was a privilege and anyone who gets that chance to do so will not be dissatisfied.

    • Josh Zankowicz, @Equinix

  • It's rare to find a recruiter with Laurel's integrity and professionalism. She takes the time to understand the needs of your organization and really understands what it takes to match the right candidate with the right opportunity. If you are looking to fill a technical role in a creative environment you definitely want Laurel on your team.
