"I have first-hand experience of working with JBK Associates and I was very impressed. Their knowledge of multiple industries, functional areas and verticals is second to none. What also sets them apart is their speed to market and how they are able to aggressively source the best passive talent. Also not to be overlooked is that they provide a fantastic experience for all of their candidates.”
Chris Wilkins

"We have been working with JBK for over 2 years now and have come to value and appreciate how Julie and her team sets themselves apart from most search firms. We have given them the toughest searches with the most passive candidate pool and each time they have delivered. Not only delivered, but quickly and professionally, including helping us close the candidate. Even though we have an internal talent acquisition team, we can't always get to the most senior folks in the industry by calling direct. This is where Julie and her team excel. They have deep networks and are able to get into places we have had difficulty. We look forward to a long term partnership with Julie and her team - they are the best!"
