“JFA is one of my ‘go to’ resources for a variety of multi-disciplinary recruitment needs. They are a cut above the rest; easy to work with, thoughtful and truly interested in assisting their clients in finding the right talent. Our positions are unique, and my requirements are challenging. My JFA rep has a broad base of knowledge spanning several disciplines and industries, takes his time to truly understand our needs and is extremely responsive.   He truly digs in to understand the type of competency and personality we require that will best fit our culture. While other recruitment firms might give up, he never has and because of that has been very successful landing several candidates with us since the beginning of our relationship.

I recommend JFA for anyone looking for a dedicated, intelligent, and responsive partner for any of your recruitment needs.”

“You did an amazing job. The Acoustical Society of America retained Jack Farrell & Associates to fill two senior positions in an exceptionally competitive environment. Within hours of placing the call I started to receive resumes from exceptional candidates. The agency works in a proactive manner from a vast network of contacts. What especially impresses me is how the agency reaches out to individuals not currently in the market. We could not accomplish this type of efficient outreach on our own. Working with JFA shortened the search by weeks, if not months. They have my highest recommendation.”

-Susan E. Fox
Executive Director
Acoustical Society of America

“Working with Jack Farrell & Associates to fill a very difficult and critical role in our library had a very successful outcome.  They listened carefully to what the job requirements were but also focused on the type of person we needed on our team.  They did not give up and continued to look for the most appropriate candidates.  They also did not present everyone they connected with. Instead, they took the time to pre-evaluate, sending only those candidates they knew would be a good fit.”
