Josh played a key role in me getting a new position during the Covid-19 pandemic at a company that I am beyond happy to work at. I am so thankful to him for how helpful, supportive, and responsive he’s been from day one. I always felt like I could reach out to him with any questions, and he always got back to me in a timely manner. He is extremely professional and has checked in with me throughout every step of the way to make sure that all of my questions were answered, and he is still there for me anytime I have any questions or need anything. He went above and beyond during my interview process to make sure that I was aware of how things were going and to check how I was feeling about the position and company I was interviewing for.

Shannon is an EXCELLENT recruiting leader. She somehow found me, matched me with a great job, and partnered with me the whole way through. She was positive, proactive, informative, kind and always available for questions and support. I highly recommend her, as a recruitment expert for job seekers in the technical sector, or for companies seeking an awesome recruiter to find great new hires.

  • Susannah K.
    VP, Project Management
  • Candidate

As a recruiter, Shannon takes the time to get to know her clients and understand their needs, which makes the whole process of finding qualified applicants much easier. She’s able to quickly source highly-skilled engineers, has great follow-up and is a tremendous help in recruiting for technical positions. And it’s fun to work with her because Shannon is always upbeat, caring and concerned about quality. It’s a pleasure to know her and work with her!

I have been working with Jennifer for years. She is simply one of the best in Nashville. From a hiring manager’s perspective, I can trust that any candidate that Jennifer sends me meets my minimum requirements, is interested in the role, and will probably fit with the company culture. I don’t have to worry that we are wasting everyone’s time with not-quite-qualified candidates. She also helps dig down into the requirements to ensure that we are clear between the “must haves” and the “nice to haves / we can train that” so that we are looking for a real person, not the fabled purple squirrel.

Jennifer brings so much passion and thoughtfulness to her job. We were looking to fill two positions – one in a highly competitive market and another in a market where Jennifer did not typically have the type of candidates we needed. But she went to work and brought amazing talent to us. We found just the right team members. Jennifer listens to her clients and identifies candidates that are the best fit. I will call on her for future needs and I highly recommend her!

One of the primary reasons I work with Ryan Jaco and Constellation Search Group is they offer a different recruiting experience than any other. He will take the time to understand the company, its culture, and the hiring manager / team dynamics. The team he invests on the front-end allows him to filter out the noise and bring candidates that are actually a good fit. I have worked with Ryan for nearly 10 years now and probably hired more than 100 people through Ryan over that time. I can honestly say I reject less than 10% of the candidates he brings me. Top Notch!

I am delighted to share my experience working with Kristin Miranda as both a hiring manager and a candidate. Her unwavering commitment to excellence, personalized approach, and dedication to finding the right fit make her and her team a great resource when I need to find the right fit for my team or myself personally. As a hiring manager, I have worked closely with Kristin on multiple occasions to fill key roles within my teams. She has made it clear that she wants to make sure she finds both a cultural and technical fit. I appreciate that she is very focused on finding out what is important to myself and our company and tailoring the candidates to meet those expectations. She is pleasantly persistent in supporting and communicating with myself and the candidates during the process so that everyone knows where we are in the process and what the next steps are. On a personal note, I have also experienced Kristin’s effectiveness from the candidate’s perspective. Having been successfully placed in a role through her efforts, I can attest to the care she took in ensuring a strong match between myself, as a candidate, and my future employer.

Kristin is more than a recruiter; she is a career partner. She has been finding me top talent since I started my own company, CQI Solutions, in the mid-90s, and helped me hire the best technical talent for my business. When CQI Solutions was acquired by Nextgen Healthcare, she continued to support me and my team with her extensive industry knowledge and network. And when I was ready for a new challenge, she found me an executive level position that matched my skills and goals. Kristin always listens to what I need and delivers candidates that are well-screened and qualified. She is the most professional and reliable recruiter I have ever worked with. I highly recommend Kristin to any organization seeking a strategic partner in talent acquisition. Her comprehensive understanding of both client and candidate needs, coupled with her commitment to fostering lasting connections, sets her apart in the competitive landscape of recruiting firms. She stands above the other agencies I have worked with through my 20+ year career.

It’s rare that you come across recruiter like Ryan. I had the pleasure of working with Ryan while looking for a job while unemployed. I was particularly impressed by Ryan’s ability to line up job interviews, and keep a positive attitude to get me excited for upcoming interviews. Also he did a great job of giving me solid background knowledge of the companies before the interviews. What I found most impressive, is that Ryan let me know swiftly, the status of the job interview. Ryan help me find a company that fits my personality, and also a job I enjoy doing. I also I got an offer more than I was initially looking for, Ryan earns my highest recommendation.
