Job Scope (Mid-Atlantic General Manager):

You get high energy, knowledgeable recruiters, who know not only the industry, but have a very good handle on the overall business climate.

She was very fast in providing us with qualified candidates that we were able to interview in a very timely manner. Listens to what our needs are and establishes a search to meet those needs. Aggressive and follows through. We like her checking in with the placement a few months after the actual placement. Thank you for doing that.

I would highly recommend Building Guru's for their commitment, expertise and integrity! Rikka and her team have far surpassed my expectations. It has been a delight to work with them! My experience in working with an entrepreneurial company is that they pay more attention to customer needs, building relationships and meeting expectations. Building Gurus demonstrated this over and over again.

Rikka Brandon is a fantastic resource! We call her for the really hard ones and 9 times out of 10 we get a winner. We especially like the fact that she is real. She hits it hard from the start and doesn't quit until she’s exhausted every possibility. If she can’t find what we need – she tells us straight away rather than stringing the search along. Rikka is extremely energetic and enthusiastic (think Energizer Bunny). She gets the job done and it’s fun along the way. Fun to deal with, strives for immediate results, keeps us updated constantly. They are unique to our industry and know the lingo. We have also been working together long enough that they know our culture and really care about finding the right person.

I highly recommend Rikka to lead your search. I feel she has an innate talent of putting a candidate and client together.

I found Rikka to be refreshingly honest and her strong communication skills made my experience anxiety free. Rikka is a true professional.

Rikka is the best recruiter I have had the opportunity to work with. She is direct, provides constant feedback, and is very competent. Working with her has been a refreshing experience. I highly recommend her.

I think there are really two questions, the Why? And the What? The Why is simple. If you want to hire an exceptional candidate, in the shortest period of time, and at a reasonable fee schedule, you call Building Gurus. As for the What, you get high energy, knowledgeable recruiters, who know not only the industry, but have a good handle on the overall business climate. They help you better define your needs, make sure they understand those needs, and test for a common understanding. Why is this important? Because, I have had many recruiters that served up candidates that didn’t even remotely fit my expectations. Timely feedback, both good and bad is critical, and Building Gurus should be the industry’s benchmark in client communications. And follow up—yes they check often to see if I, their customer am satisfied both with the service provided and the candidate delivered.

You rock, simply because you communicate consistently and continuously.

Building Gurus has been a wonderful business partner. Rikka and her team have far surpassed my expectations. It has been a delight to work with them… and we have hired a number of great people!

You listen to what I need, educate me on what is possible and develop a recruiting plan to find the best person. And you're FAST!

We are quite happy with the results Rikka was able to provide. She listens well and does her homework regarding the search. She was extremely fast in providing us with qualified candidates that we were able to quickly interview. She is very professional and well organized. Follows through in all aspects and is attentive to our opinions even after the placement. We are quite happy with Rikka and the results of her search and placement.

I appreciate your hard work, looks like we have some strong candidates coming in again next week!

You have an uncanny ability to tap into the competition without leaving the sense that you are “stealing” our competitor’s employees away!

You are the only recruiting firm we use… we've never had a need for anyone else!

Building Gurus has been wonderful to work with. They are always very thorough in their approach to understanding the position requirements and learning about the specific needs of our company. Their follow up on candidates they've spoken with is timely and accurate.

Fun to deal with, strive for immediate results, keep us updated constantly. There seems to be a trust; that is, they share the candidates freely and trust that we will do the right thing. Rikka Brandon and the Building Gurus team have been an exception business partner in our nation-wide recruiting initiatives. I would highly recommend Building Gurus services for the following reasons: 1. Experts in the Building Materials Industry 2. Ability and effectiveness to conduct nation-wide searches 3. Continual communication on each search regarding needs, applicant fit, and meeting recruiting timeframes 4. The commitment to build customer relationships in order to fulfill their customer needs. Thanks Rikka. You have now set the bar for the service level we know we can expect from Building Gurus! Thanks for the help on this one, it should make my life a little easier.

I appreciate you and all your team’s great work this year helping us search for the “almost impossible”.

You are unique to our industry and know the lingo. We have been working together long enough that you understand our culture and really seem to care about finding the right person for our company.

I would highly recommend Rikka because of her attention to detail and commitment to you as a client. I have had the pleasure of working directly with Rikka and it was a very pleasurable experience due to her focused approach to both the candidate and the employer. Rikka is a true professional that communicates with her clients very efficiently and effectively. She has great established relationships in the building materials industry.

I have worked with Rikka as candidate and an employer. On both sides of the equation, I found her to be honest and direct, thorough and prepared and to work with a sense of urgency to complete the assignment. She always presented qualified candidates and did not waste time selling a candidate when the chemistry was not correct. Rikka produced quality candidates quickly.
