My team was in need of a partnership that would allow us to scale quickly, but still attract the best talent. We had a tall order to find a large volume of diverse, licensed insurance sales and support candidates. Pivotal delivered and then some. They gave us in-depth looks at candidates backgrounds, worked quickly to provide feedback and helped us hit our goals as a team. We are very grateful for the support Pivotal provides us during our growth phases.

Pivotal Talent Search's Elizabeth and Jill are wonderful! If working with these talented recruiters is a true reflection of everyone at PTS, this is surely a special company. Thank you, Elizabeth and Jill, for your timely follow-up, communication, kindness, and professionalism! My field of dental hygiene is particularly wrought with challenges when job-searching, and you two brought a wonderful company into my focus. I have just begun my new position, but I have a really good feeling backed by facts that this will continue to be an excellent fit. In complete sincerity, I feel I may be forever grateful. Thank you! - Molly

I worked with Debby during my tenure at Tory Burch. She helped find and vet candidates to fill several positions that opened on my team, some new and some as replacement. Her understanding of the business, of my department’s needs, and of the company’s culture assured that the candidates she hand-picked were right for the position. Her guidance through the entire process; from posting the job description, reviewing resumes, selecting candidates, scheduling interviews, checking references, extending offers, to the candidates accepting the offer, facilitated the hiring of some very strong candidates. It is not coincidence that once Debby started working with my team, the turnover rate drastically diminished, and retention had a tangible rate increase.I would welcome the opportunity to work with Debby again, and recommend her and her company to any employer looking for new talent, and to any employee wishing to further his/her career.

The Pivotal team is the best! I worked with Kristie B specifically and she is truly amazing. From start to finish she was updating me, making sure my application was being reviewed, and always ensuring my needs were being met. I know recruiters work with a lot of people but I felt like I was her only client. She made the terrible process of job hunting enjoyable and easy! Thank you Kristie and Pivotal.

I responded to to a listing for Mattel seeking a merchandising representative and received a call from Kristie at Pivotal to complete a pre-screen. She was very thorough going through my background and qualifications to discern if I might be a good fit for the role. After sending my information over to Mattel she continued to be very involved answering my questions and supporting me through the interview process. Kristie provided outstanding communication, keeping me informed on the progression of the application and the results of my two interviews. I am very grateful to have had Kristie through this process.

Shout out and special thanks to Kristie @ Pivotal Talent. Not only was she kind and professional she helped me, finally, land a new job.

I was SO LUCKY to have Kristie Briglio find me on LinkedIn and put me in touch with Mattel for a job opportunity she thought I would be a great fit for. She worked so hard to get the interview for me since I was located a few miles out of the zip code they were looking in. I told her to just get me in front of them and I would get that job!! I DID!! Without Kristie fighting for me as a Great Candidate for them, I wouldn't have gotten this Great Job Opportunity. I feel so lucky!!! If you are located in the North Carolina Area, Contact Kristie and let her go to work for you. Great Company, Everyone I spoke with was so professional and nice!

Pivotal Talent Search was amazing! From the first call I received from Jen about a job I applied for literally the night before. To Elif who set up the second interview. To the last call from Debbie who gave me the news that I had been hired. The amazing part was that this whole process happened in 4 days. The team at Pivotal Talent Search set up both of my interviews, made sure I was aware of the time and day with email or a text, and all I had to do was show up and get hired. It was the best hiring experience I have ever had!

Jill Abbinanti and Elizabeth Resmer were instrumental in helping me find a full-time position at a law firm after I graduated from college. They were personable, encouraging and always prompt in responding and checking in with me. I felt like I had true advocates on my side throughout the interviewing and hiring process. From the moment they reached out to me via LinkedIn, they went above and beyond on my behalf. There was an intense storm during our first scheduled call, and we kept running into connectivity issues. Thankfully, Jill and Elizabeth were willing to keep trying different methods so we could still make our call work at the scheduled time. Whenever I was on a call with either of them, I could tell they were actively listening and were interested in what I had to say. Very genuine and helpful people!
