"Jon seems to know how to find the right people for the right positions.  I was casually looking for the next step in my career.  Jon found me, and after some quick conversations I knew I'd never deal with a recruiter like Jon again.  His experience as an engineer and manager quickly interpreted my abilities and professional history.  He found a great match for me and kept me informed all along the process.  I highly recommend anyone to Jon, his professionalism is incredible, and his abilities are matching."
