I worked with Marcus Curiel, and he was the most supportive, professional, and insightful recruiter I could have ever asked for. I was in a month's-long search for a job, and I wasn't the easiest paralegal candidate to present, as I was from out of state. He stuck with me every step of the way, and thought of creative solutions to overcome some of the hurdles in my way and gaps in my resume.
There were times he spent upwards of 30 minutes on the phone with me, discussing and weighing options and opportunities. He was always upbeat, positive, and encouraging, even when I couldn't be.
At one point, I was so desperate (after taking a miserable job trying to sell life insurance), that I called him, practically in tears, and begged him to find me any work at all. He went through his jobs and found one that didn't exactly seem like a great fit at first, but as it turned out, it was an incredible opportunity. After my interview, which had gone very, very well, he talked to me about taking advantage of that enthusiasm on boht sides. He called the firm and told them I would give up the interview I had scheduled later in the week if they would come up in salarly. I truly didn't believe it would work, but Marcus did his magic, got me the job, and got the salary increased considerably.
I coluld not believe it! He took the time to cheer with me on the phone and then explain next steps,and then cheered with me some more.
Marcus thinks outside the box, and treats every client like they are his top priority. There was never a time when I felt he had given up on me, even when I had given up on myself.
He is a true professional, and he is quite young. I cannot imagine the incredible trajectory his own career will take. His talent and skill with people and companies are going to take him far in the recruiting field, or any other field he chooses
I could go on and on about how great he is, but if you are looking for someone to truly be on your team in helping you find a job or change your career path, Marcus is your man. I appreciate his efforts so much, and even if they hadn't paid off, I knew how hard he was working on my behalf.
