A special shoutout to Nick Wieberg! Nick with SEC was instrumental in how he advocated for me with my new company. He was quick to answer questions from both parties during the informational period. I love the position I ended up in and highly recommend working with SEC.
The level of professionalism and the amount of time dedicated to understanding what the individual is looking for was very impressive and comforting. Responsiveness to my questions as well as communication with the target company was also excellent. You know how Delta asks if you would hire this person/company.. My answer is absolutely 100%.
