Cat proactively reached out to me after hearing that we needed several software developers with very specific, hard-to-find qualifications. In her first email, she included a sample résumé of a candidate who she believed fit our requirements. Cat's intuition was spot on with exactly what we needed. In just over a week, we ended up hiring this candidate.
Cat made an impressive impact, operating at a level of professionalism that exceeded expectations. She facilitated the hiring process by establishing excellent communication between our company and the candidates, providing relevant two-way feedback before and after interviews. During our standups, she provided insightful reviews and recommendations according to her latest experiences in the market which was invaluable for understanding candidates’ interests, needs, and expectations, permitting us to quickly develop more effective hiring strategies. Because of her great work, we successfully hired three outstanding individuals.

Jason is wonderful and very easy to communicate and work with. I can’t recommend him enough!
He listens to your needs and reacts quickly. With the ability to deliver exactly what you want and need. I only wish we had known each other earlier, he would have saved me years of frustration in recruitment efforts. Keep up the good work Jason and I look forward to many years of partnership with you. Thank you.

Jason is able to find high quality candidates for niche roles, keep them engaged, and provide continuous metrics of the search process. He is equally comfortable with junior level roles as with executive searches. From having worked with a variety of recruiters, Jason is one of the best and I continue to rely on his expertise for my open roles.

Jason was great to work with as a candidate for an executive medical device role. He consistently provided valuable insights that drove clarity on fit for myself and the hiring company. He was very responsive, provided visibility throughout, and helped ensure a smooth process. I highly recommend Jason for his professionalism, willingness to go above and beyond, and commitment to a great hiring experience.

Working with Cat was an absolute game changer in my job search. From the very beginning, she was incredibly personable and responsive. She would reply to my texts so quickly and thoughtfully, it felt like I was the only person she was working with.
She made me feel comfortable enough to be completely transparent about where else I was applying, which is rare for me. I could tell she genuinely had my best interests at heart. That level of trust is something I haven’t been able to give to other recruiters, but with Cat, it came naturally.
If she ends up being your recruiter, know that you're in great hands. She’s the kind of person who will make you feel like you’ve entrusted a best friend to help you get your next job — and she’ll come through for you.
Christopher Shum
Sr Firmware Engineer at Field Medical
Working with Cat Smith was a pivotal moment in my career journey. She reached out with an opportunity that aligned perfectly with my background, experience, and aspirations—truly one of those rare moments where the role felt custom-made.
From our first interaction, Cat stood out for her responsiveness, professionalism, and sincere interest in helping me succeed. She guided me through every step of the process with clear communication, timely updates, and thoughtful insights. Her ability to connect the dots between my skill set and what the company was looking for made a significant difference and helped me feel confident and well-prepared throughout the process.
What I value most is that her support didn’t end after the offer was signed. Cat has continued to check in, offer guidance, and share strategic opportunities that could help take my career to the next level. It’s clear she’s invested in long-term success, not just short-term placement.
