“David is very well connected in the New York area. His contacts in the industry of construction & development are impressive and extend far into other related fields of expertise. His ability to understand people and their aspirations surpass those of an average recruiter. David found me a position at a time when I was content with my employer and it’s as if he knew better than me that I belonged elsewhere. After meeting with him only a few times, David presented me a very unique and exciting opportunity that I hadn’t even known existed. After a quick series of interviews, I landed the job and have remained grateful ever since. For anyone looking, or even open to the idea that a more suitable position might exist, I highly recommend connecting with David.”

When we first met David asked me very detailed, direct questions about my career goals and listened carefully to my responses. When he sent me information on possible opportunities, it was clear that they were within the criteria we had discussed. Throughout the whole process he communicated well. He responded quickly (usually within the hour) to my phone calls and emails. It reassured me that he expressed a sincere desire to place me in a position that was truly a good fit. I’ve already recommended him to friends and colleagues and would certainly do so again.”

“After one phone conversation with David, he was able to identify my goals for my career. He asked all of the right questions and was very honest and realistic with expectations. After a sit down meeting, he was able to provide me with some options that I may be interested in. Not only are his contacts in the construction industry impressive; he took into account my preferences for quality of life which are legitimate questions that we should all ask ourselves when looking for a new job. I definitely feel that I have gained a friend in the industry and I look forward to catching up with him in the near future.”
