What Clients Say…

  • Molly Barstow, Deputy Director at Project Citizenship

    Jessye made the hiring process a breeze. She is very thoughtful, deliberate, and has a great eye for identifying the right candidates for the job. She has a very collaborative approach that makes the whole team feel like they have a voice and a role to play in the hiring process, which, in my view, is exactly how it should be (but often isn’t). Now having done some more recent hiring without Jessye’s help for budgetary reasons, my appreciation for her quality of work has only grown. I highly recommend working with Jessye!

  • Elena Sokolow-Kaufman, Executive Director of Cambridge Nonprofit Coalition

    Jessye helped us re-envision the position we needed to hire for, and developed and led us through the recruitment, interview and onboarding processes. She also supported us well through the inevitable bumps along the way. In addition to being responsive and knowledgeable, I was also impressed with how kindly she treated all the job candidates. I can't recommend her highly enough.

  • Dr. Mitra Shavarini, Executive Director

    We hired Jessye to help us lead a complicated and multifaceted employee search. Jessye's thoroughness and professionalism impressed us all. I believe it's because she listens carefully to what an organization needs; she collaborates intuitively and clearly; she delivers on-time; and she exceeds expectations. You would be lucky to work with Jessye.

  • Nina, Finalist for Senior Level Nonprofit Role

    From an excellent job posting to the most communicative recruiting process I've experienced, Jessye was an absolute JOY to work with. I was a finalist for a role she was recruiting for, and although I did not get the role, Jessye was supportive, communicative, and informative throughout the process. She gave me helpful feedback, and told me what to expect every step. I will still apply to roles at [this organization] in the future because of it!

  • Caitlin Enroth, Newly Hired Program Manager

    Working with Jessye was one of the most positive hiring experiences I have had. She made very clear the expectations and hopes of the employer while also being very attentive to my needs and inquiries. I felt like a human, instead of just another resume, when applying to the job Jessye was facilitating recruitment for.
