I never met a great Recruiter who cares about his candidates and goes out of his way to help them achieve their job search. John is a man that is honest, loving, and wants what is best for his candidates. I am thankful that I was referred to him as he has turned things around for me and allowed me to see that there is hope when you feel hopeless. I am grateful in everything he does and continues to do. He's the best and I would definitely refer him to my friends, which I already have 🙂

In addition, he is available to talk to his candidates day or night unlike other recruiters. He is dedicated to his candidates. John truly cares about his candidates.

John has a lot of impressive opportunities. He not only helped me in finding a new job but truly helped my confidence along the way. This is an intimate and personal experience that is invaluable. I cannot thank John enough for his hard work and guidance. He has helped change my life.

John was really easy to work with. He set up a Zoom with me to go over my resume. Suggested two organizations, set up an interview with one and I know this isn't going to be everyone's experience but I really vibed with the org during my interview and accepted the position. John walked me through next steps, went through my reference checks and I am really enjoying working at my current place. Highly recommend John and A List!

My search for employment changed completely the moment I made contact with A-List Associates. I was sent on interviews with the most esteemed companies in NYC and already had an advantage after having been referred by A-List’s founder and president, John Warren. In addition, John’s advice is invaluable. I thought I was an expert on marketing myself until John stepped in. I could not recommend A-List Associates more highly.

    I never met a great Recruiter who cares about his candidates and goes out of his way to help them achieve their job search. John is a man that is honest, loving, and wants what is best for his candidates. I am thankful that I was referred to him as he has turned things around for me and allowed me to see that there is hope when you feel hopeless. I am grateful in everything he does and continues to do. He's the best and I would definitely refer him to my friends, which I already have 🙂

He will go over the job role with you and he will take the time to answer any of your questions. In addition, he is available to talk to his candidates day or night unlike other recruiters. He is dedicated to his candidates. John truly cares about his candidates. He sincerely wants his candidates to be happy. To have John in your corner as a candidate is really wonderful.

    The thought of looking for a new job is daunting. After my first conversation with John I walked away excited and optimistic to find a new position in the finance world. John has a lot of impressive opportunities. He not only helped me in finding a new job but truly helped my confidence along the way. This is an intimate and personal experience that is invaluable. I cannot thank John enough for his hard work and guidance. He has helped change my life.

    John was really easy to work with. He set up a Zoom with me to go over my resume. Suggested two organizations, set up an interview with one and I know this isn't going to be everyone's experience but I really vibed with the org during my interview and accepted the position. John walked me through next steps, went through my reference checks and I am really enjoying working at my current place. Highly recommend John and A List!

Because of this, he is very careful and puts a lot of thought into paring you with positions best suited for you and the company as well. As I initially stated... Excellence in every aspect.

    John is wonderful to work with! I’ve known him for 10+ years and he has placed me at two wonderful jobs. Half the battle when job hunting is finding a recruiter that will truly listen to your needs and find the right match for you. John really cares about you as an individual and takes the time to place you at a company that is the right fit – both for the candidate and the company. It is very reassuring to have him on your side. I highly recommend A-List Associates!

    My search for employment changed completely the moment I made contact with A-List Associates. I was sent on interviews with the most esteemed companies in NYC and already had an advantage after having been referred by A-List’s founder and president, John Warren. In addition, John’s advice is invaluable. I thought I was an expert on marketing myself until John stepped in. I could not recommend A-List Associates more highly.
