"My experience with Brunette Associates was outstanding. Jeanene is always a pleasure to work with, and she did an excellent job in preparing me throughout the interview process. While I quite possibly might not have considered this position based on its description "on paper," Jeanene was able to articulate the company, the role, and responsibilities in a way that made clear how appealing the opportunity was. Indeed, after several months in my new position, I feel confident that it is a great fit for both me and T-Mobile, and I am excited to continue to develop my career here. I appreciate all of the guidance that Jeanene provided to bring me here."
-- Director Consumer Direct, T-Mobile
"I just wanted to thank you for all your great work. I know that we are not always easy to work with. Okay, I know that I am not always easy to work with. Seriously, I think the world of you and the candidates you brought in and I wanted to take a moment to thank you."

"I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your time, help and encouragement before, during and after my successful interviews with Microsoft. I've been on the job for six weeks and now have the perspective to appreciate how much your knowledge of Microsoft, the product group and the hiring manager really paid off for me. Thanks.
Above and beyond preparing me for the rigorous Microsoft interview process, I really appreciate you going out of your way to help me mentally prepare for the out-of-state move. In my situation, with a newborn baby and a wife who's native to San Jose, your personal guidance and professional experience with the transition was really appreciated. Our transition to Northwest living has gone as well as can be expected. Thanks again.
As I recently told my wife, thank goodness you and I kept in touch over the past 5-6 years because I'd hate to think about this opportunity passing me by. Your personal and professional touch and thoroughness is greatly appreciated, and really separates Brunette and Associates from other firms.
Best wishes with your future endeavors and let's keep in touch.
-- Product Manager, Public Relations, Microsoft
"Thank you very much for the call yesterday afternoon. I truly appreciate the way that you continued to keep me informed throughout this process even though I was not one of the top candidates for this particular position.
I am impressed with your professionalizm and candor. You are a refreshing change from many that I have worked with in your industry and I hope very much that I have the opportunity to work with you again in the future."
-- Candidate
"I would like to let you know how much I enjoyed working with you over the past couple of months on this position. Everything from the initial contact we had, to the final interview arrangements, was done in a first class way. From the time you started to dig deeper about my background to see if it fit with what SS+K was looking for, to thoroughly explaining what I was getting in to, all was done very well. And the help and guidance you provided during the negations with them once we agreed to move forward was very helpful, too.
Jeanene, I have worked with other executive search consultants in the past. But without question, you were the most professional, helpful and understanding one I have worked with. And you were also the most down-to-earth of the lot, which made working with you so enjoyable, and stress free.
Again, many thanks for all you have done during this very important time in my life. Joining a new company, in a new city, is always stressful. But you made it much less than it could have been.
-- Vice President, SS+K
