“Laurie and the team at Yamas Group helped me to grow a world-class
engineering organization in a short time in a very challenging labor market. Their attention to
detail, high-quality and well-vetted candidates, excellent communication, and rigorous
follow-through are what make them stand apart from the field. I highly recommend!”
Vice President, Operations

“Laurie and the entire team at Yamas have been instrumental in finding key employees for us., and the relationship continues to build and deepen with each new search. Yamas focuses on more than the job description. Digging into cultural implications and necessary character traits has led to "best fit" candidates for our organization. Laurie also builds relationships that enhance the hiring process, and I would highly recommend her and Yamas for any hiring needs.”

“I’ve had the chance to work with Laurie and the Yamas group, and I can honestly say they’re one of the best in the business. With a solid background in the industrial equipment industry, they know exactly what skills hiring managers are really looking for, not just what’s on a job description. Whether it’s technical expertise or the soft skills that make someone a good fit for a team, they pick up on the details that others might miss."

“Laurie has successfully and efficiently filled a wide variety of positions for us, from engineers and sales representatives to HR and IT executives. For each search, she took time to thoroughly understand our needs, and the candidates she put forward met our requirements without exception. I’ve never seen that with any other recruiters I’ve worked with in my career. Importantly, the candidates that Laurie recruited all spoke highly of the experience they had working with her. As a testimony to that, many of the candidates that Laurie has placed through the years still keep in contact with her. If you’re looking for a recruiter who does it exactly right every time, Laurie is the one to call.”

“I have known and worked with Laurie for several years in my career and when I needed to hire for my team. While I was exploring new opportunities, she was professional but personal and very understanding of my needs. She was able to connect me with several employers quickly, and she guided me through the process of weighing the options to make the right decision. Ultimately, she found me a role that met my goals in terms of company culture, salary, and scope of responsibility.
On the hiring side, Laurie was able to deliver exceptional talent. She fully understood my requirements and the candidates that she submitted were thoroughly screened and qualified. Communication was very good throughout the process. I highly recommend partnering with Laurie for your hiring needs.”

Over my long career, I have interfaced with many recruiters, and most of them have been disappointing, to say the least. But from the moment Clare reached out to me with an opportunity, my experience changed. Clare’s work style is one of clear and timely communication, and making your relationship with her as important to her as her relationship with the potential employer. As with so many things, there were a couple of hiccups during the hiring process. Clare’s reaction to these issues was to reach out to me with alternate opportunities in case I was not successful. In previous experiences, the recruiter would have just moved on, leaving me to fend for myself.I hope this has been my last career move, and I won't need Clare’s services again. I highly recommend her, and if she is working with you, you're in excellent hands.

"My experience with Laurie was amazing. She was responsive, caring, and attentive to finding and driving home an excellent work opportunity that matched my skills and knowledge. The communication was second to none, and she was available for questions at any time of day or night, responding immediately. She made the job search and interviewing process extremely relaxing and well-informed, especially in a time of uncertainty and stress of exploring a new career. I would highly recommend Laurie for your recruiting and job search needs.
