**Delanie Sinton is the ABSOLUTE BEST!**

I am the newest employee at a new and upcoming company because of the efforts of Delanie Sinton, executive recruiter at Patrice & Associates. I have worked with recruiters in the past and was hesitant to work with another one as I have always had better luck working directly with a companys HR department. When I applied to be an onboarding implementation specialist for this new career, Delanie was the one who contacted me and explained the entire process to me and what to expect. I let her know my concerns about working with a recruiter, but she assured me that her process was different and that she would take care of me every step of the way. She made sure I was not only prepared for every interview with pre-interview meetings, but she always wanted my feedback after each interview no matter what the time of day to make sure that this position is what I still wanted. I never felt pressured or guilted to take the position but instead felt encouraged and positioned for the best outcome whether or not I got the job. Delanie advocated for me throughout the whole process from beginning to end. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a career in the hospitality industry or any other industry she would be part of the hiring team for. I am glad she will be keeping up with me for the first couple of months in the job in case anything goes wrong, but I am positive everything is going to be great because of the matchmaking process of candidate to job. I am excited to start work at my new company and I feel it was an absolute match that couldnt have happened without Delanie Sinton

****Carol Bullock was GREAT!****

Along my career search, I have worked with a few recruiters and none were as professional, poised, and thorough as Carol Bullock of Patrice & Associates. Carol was incredibly supportive and genuinely invested in this entire process, always going the extra mile.

Carol was there for me every step of the way, prepared me for my interviews, and most importantly she truly believed in me.

Carols encouragement, guidance and warm spirit gave me the extra confidence I needed to help me land my dream job - in just 3 weeks! (I mean, come on - WOW!) I could not be more grateful or lucky to have had the privilege to work with such a knowledgeable and caring professional like Carol Bullock. Carol, it was such a pleasure to work with you - Thank you so much for everything, you are truly incredible! 10/10

Forever Grateful, Gena Nardelli
