Testimonials

“Colleen is the best recruiter I ever worked with, I was looking for a job at Palantir and as soon as I started working with her I knew I was in good hands. The interview process was so smooth and I attribute much of its success to Colleen. Thanks to Colleen I got my dream job, I strongly recommend anyone who is looking to conduct a search with Colleen!”

“I have been in contact with many recruiters in my career, and can safely say Colleen is outstanding in all respects. Her honesty, understanding, personal approach, and demeanor are rare characteristics, and helped make the recruitment process go smoothly and pleasantly. She is always responsive, works to resolve concerns and inquiries promptly, and has a great sense as to what the candidate needs. I would definitely work with her again.”

“CJM search was integral to developing our team during a period of rapid growth. While meeting the volume demanded by an aggressive hiring plan, they continually delivered candidates that aligned with our organization’s culture. CJM hires are some of the most tenured employees at our organization. As Colleen says when reviewing on her burger tour: 10/10.”

“Colleen is as good a recruiter to work with as I ever expect to meet. She is highly responsive, transparent, and low-pressure. At each step of the process, Colleen kept me totally up-to-date and made it feel simultaneously professional and relaxed. I wish more recruiters were like this!”

“Colleen is an exceptional recruiter. As a candidate, she made the interview process painless and was able to work with me as I was moving across the country. Now that I work with her on the other side of the table, I can vouch that she always provides us with quality candidates. If you’re looking for a job or a candidate I would definitely recommend working with Colleen.”

“Working with Colleen as a candidate was a great experience. She quickly sized up what kind of culture would be a good fit for me and what kind of problems I wanted to work on, and introduced me to talented teams where I felt like I could fit in and make an impact.”

“Colleen was an absolute pleasure to work with. Despite the fact that I ultimately did not accept the offer I gained through her connections, she went out of her way to make it clear to me that she was interested solely in what was best for me. I feel lucky to be a part of her network, and I know I’ll email her first the next time I begin actively looking for a job.”

“Colleen is my favorite recruiter to work with. She has the perfect balance of friendliness and professionalism. She has a deep network of contacts and is great at finding ones that match what you’re looking for. If you’re looking for a new job, I highly recommend you work with Colleen.”

“Working with Colleen has been an absolute delight and one of the best recruiting experiences I’ve ever had! What stands out most is that she took the time to really understand my background and what I was looking for and only suggested companies and roles that would be a good match of skills, culture, and growth potential. Colleen is also extremely professional, responsive, honest, and knowledgeable about the companies she’s recruiting for. All of the places I interviewed for were impressed by my knowledge of their company, and Colleen is absolutely to thank. On top of all of that, she has a fantastic and hilarious blog on her website!”

“I had the wonderful opportunity of working with Colleen McGeehin during my search to
find a software engineering position in New York City. In the past, I’ve had help from
many different recruiters but none of those experiences compare to my experience with
Colleen. She was the only recruiter that showed genuine interest in helping me to find a
new job.

During our first conversation, I could tell Colleen was dedicated to connecting me with
companies that would be a great match for me. While we talked about my professional
interests, I got the impression that she wanted to maximize my time by avoiding roles
that were not aligned with my goals. Colleen took the time to gather information on
each prospective company, including things like how many engineers exist at a
company or whether or not that company was a new start up.

Colleen did things above and beyond what I expected. For example, she helped me
polish my resume by providing advice and feedback. She also sent words of
encouragement before each of my interviews and followed-up afterward to talk to me
about my experiences. Most importantly, she always informed me of the result of my
interviews even when I didn’t get the job. It did not matter the outcome, Colleen was
always open, honest, and responsive.

Colleen is trustworthy and has great communication skills. She is the most passionate
recruiter I’ve ever worked with and I will likely work with her again in the future.”

“Colleen is one of the best recruiters that I’ver worked with during my entire career. She is organized, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. I never felt pressured when work working Colleen, in fact, I felt the opposite, that she really took time to under where I was, what I was looking for, and how the role fit with that. She is also just a genuinely nice person. I still keep in touch with her 4.5 years after she recruited me because of all of this. One of my neighbors was recently struggling with trying to switch jobs. The first person that popped into my mind was Colleen, and I sent him her way. I can’t say enough good things about Colleen.”

“Bill has been hands down one of the most thoughtful and dedicated partners I have worked with. He was extremely respectful of my goals and requirements in a new role, and it is clear that he had my best interests in mind throughout the entire process. ”

“Colleen’s first call with me stood out from those of all other recruiters by a landslide. Instead of trying to see if I could conform to a specific role, we covered everything I was looking for in a job to determine if a position at Squarespace would be a perfect fit. Colleen was hyping me up the whole call as we discussed my prior work experience, and I felt so excited for next steps! It didn’t feel like completing a checklist of questions - it was a great conversation. I then proceeded with the interview process at Squarespace and Colleen continued to check in and encourage me throughout the process. Squarespace was a reach company for me with challenging interviews, so I really appreciated the motivation and kind words. Getting an offer from Squarespace was incredible and I can’t wait to start working there. I cannot thank Colleen enough for helping me achieve this next step in my career.

“I had a great experience working with Colleen! She reached out to me with a number of interesting opportunities and tailored her search based on what I was looking for, such as fully remote positions. Even though the first company I applied for didn’t work out, Colleen continued to connect me with relevant opportunities until I landed one that I was very happy with. Colleen provided details about each company, was very prompt to get me in touch with them, and checked in with me throughout the interview process. Working with her saved me a lot of time in my job search, and I could count on her to make sure that any companies she presented to me would follow through on the end-to-end hiring process. Would definitely recommend!
