I have worked with Jill, Elizabeth, and Meghan at Pivotal since the Fall of 2022. They are all extremely professional and efficient, they will listen to your needs of the business and only present top talent at all times. They have integrity and I would recommend them to anyone looking for top talent or candidates looking for a new career move.

Finding employment can be stressful at times. Crystal and Ashley took the stress out of all of that. They worked tirelessly in finding the right job that truly fit my skills set as well as the right salary for me. Crystal and Ashley are indeed an asset to this company. I am proof of their hard work. Thank you ladies so much.

Ila at Pivotal Talent helped me not only get a job, she helped provide support throughout the process. I wasn't expecting such actual care and thought throughout the process including checking in to see how I was doing as a person instead of just another number. She was prompt with answering and was diligent throughout as the line between me and my now employer!
