I’ve worked more with Dawn than Dean, and she’s excellent. Incredibly responsive, works hard to get you in front of people (and follows up with them promptly), really pays attention to what you’re looking for, and stays supportive the whole way through. She’s one of the first I reach out to when starting to look for new opportunities. Collectively, they’re definitely some of the better ones out there.

Nope. But anyone called Fagin makes me sing, "you've got to pick a pocket or two".

I prefer dawn. She's super sweet and responsive. Dean is always a big spacey. He sends me messages that are like "how would you like to interview for xyz" and I'm like um I already interviewed there so I guess you're saying I didn't get the job?

Dawn is one of the nicest, most genuine people I met when I was hunting for a good job this summer.

Super responsive at first but totally ghosted me after what seemed like a great call one time. Then months later reached out without apologizing or mentioning that we chatted. Nice guy though from what I remember.

Have had them reach out to me a couple times. Salary was an issue both times right away, even though I was asking a pretty average salary for the position.

Thanks everyone. Wanted to make sure I was replying to a ghost

@cw1 hah. Same.

Dawn is awesome!!!
