"Thanks so much, again, for the great career counsel. Over the past seven years, we’ve worked together in just about every capacity - from hiring you to recruit candidates, to referring candidates to you, to getting your thoughts on what careers moves I should make. It’s been a great partnership, and it’s only gotten stronger and deeper with time. I can’t tell you how much I value your experience, wisdom and counsel. Even more, I appreciate that you always make me feel like I’m your top priority. Not quite sure how you manage to do that, but it’s wonderful. Thank you!"

"I received you're note today when I returned from my business trip. Thanks so much. It's good to keep in touch. I must say that during my recent job search, I felt you were one of the most savvy recruiters with which I worked. It's amazing how little value add there is among many recruiters (and I've spoken to a lot), but I thought you did an excellent job making sure you understood how a potential candidate would work out for a given situation, both from the client perspective and from that of the potential hire. As you know that's a tricky tightrope, but you always seem to have everything in balance.
I hope you're doing well and let's keep in touch. One never knows when the next opportunity might come along."
-- VP, Burson Marsteller

"I have partnered with Brunette Associates on two different occasions and was extremely pleased with the outcome both times. Thanks to Jeanene, I was able to hire excellent candidates who successfully transitioned into top company performers. With the broad industry relationships Jeanene has built, she quickly delivered a well-targeted pipeline and provided expert counsel to help close my first-choice candidates. Jeanene took great care to understand my requirements and continued to get my feedback until we identified the right profile of candidate I was looking for. I strongly recommend Brunette Associates and will definitely work with Jeanene again."
