These days, it's all too common to apply for a job and never hear back from recruiters, with no acknowledgment at all. That was the case until I applied for a role and met Geri. Although I was unsuccessful because the position had already been filled, Geri reached out to let me know that she thought my resume was impressive. Her support throughout the process was exceptional. Geri offered guidance on interviews, provided regular feedback, and always remained positive and encouraging, assuring me that the perfect job would eventually come. I genuinely believe that Geri wears her heart on her sleeve and goes above and beyond to help candidates find the right cultural fit. Onset is fortunate to have her, and she is a true testament to the hard work and dedication she brings to the recruitment industry. To the IT community: if you're looking for a rockstar recruiter to lead the charge and fill your ideal positions, Geri is the person you need. 10/10!
