This was my 1st 'temp agency' experience and I must admit, I was a little hesitant, because I've heard how "sales'y" some can be. However, Michelle never made me feel like she had a quota to meet. She took me in and met with me privately, and began asking questions, allowing me to explain the type of work environment I needed to be in, which would align with my personal life. Michelle listened intently - showing empathy. She even put her pen down a moment to look at me and connect - human to human. She didn't just run down my resume' of qualifications, which would have easily allowed her to place me in many roles, but instead, Michelle paid close attention to what I truly needed, and why. What I was looking for: I didn't want to jump around - I needed my next employer to be a fit that would last - with a growing organization who cares about people more than numbers. I needed something close enough to home, so I could walk my son's dog on my lunch breaks, and an employer who could match my qualifying salary. It wasn't necessary, but I was hoping to be placed with a "low-pressure type office environment, where I could thrive independently." Michelle met all my needs, including my unnecessary preferences! She brainstormed, then described the company to me. After I agreed, she moved quickly in terms of scheduling my zoom interview and providing me with onboarding paperwork. Most importantly, Michelle delivered with honesty and integrity. I look forward to coming into work each day, knowing I'll be among some really good people, who truly care about people. The President/CEO has even stopped by my office to see if there was anything I needed. I push myself to excellence, and my employer has already mentioned recognition of my efforts, which feels pretty darn good. I am so grateful to you, Michelle. True success only comes when you have a hand in helping others become successful, as well, and none of it is possible, unless you're working from the heart. Sincerely, Thank you, Michelle!

Thank you Michelle for being so amazing and really doing your absolute, to make sure that I am placed with the best possible company and experience. I haven't worked Temp work before but Sedona really makes it so easy and efficient that my experience has been so easy and simple. Thank you Sedona and Thank You thank you thank you Michelle!!

I was dissatisfied with the resume' written by Patricia…read more The interaction began positively; she was very responsive, professional, and asked the correct questions. Her fee was about 15% more expensive than others I called, so I went with her because 'what you get is what you pay for.' We met to review my employment history & goals for approx 1 hour. A few days later she requested I answer 11 detailed questions. I briefly pushed-back because from my perspective, I felt she had enough information (2 resume's, 3 job descriptions, and a 1 hour interview). I submitted the detailed information 1 week later in bullet format. I was surprised to receive the final document because at least 80% of the final resume' was word-for-word taken identically from my work-even the bullet short-hand was not changed, just separated by commas. When I sent an email expressing my concern she said her work invested was in the organization & formatting of the final document. This did/does not sit well with me. Long story short: she was nice, mostly professional, and responsive. I can not use the resume' she submitted and will either re-write myself or hire another business.

I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Professional Recruiter Associates over in recent years and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. As a Hiring Manager, finding top-tier talent is not just a goal but a necessity for our organization's success. I can confidently say that Professional Recruiter Associates has exceeded our expectations at every turn. From our initial engagement, their team demonstrated a deep understanding of our unique needs and the intricacies of the technical roles we were looking to fill. The level of professionalism, dedication, and market knowledge exhibited by Don and Darcy and the entire team was truly outstanding. What sets Professional Recruiter Associates apart is their commitment to delivering not just candidates, but the right candidates. Each individual presented to us was meticulously screened, ensuring they not only possessed the requisite technical skills but also aligned with our company culture and values. This attention to detail saved us valuable time in the hiring process, allowing us to focus on the final selection from a pool of highly qualified individuals. read more

I have hired over the years through several Executive Search Firms, but Professional Recruiters Associates stands out from the pack. The Talent Managers at Professional Recruiter Associates are very experienced, listened carefully to my needs, and quickly arranged interviews with 4 very qualified candidates. One in particular stood out. We hired her, and couldn't be happier. I liked it that Darcy answered his own phone, did the heavy lifting for us and didn't require a lot of paperwork. I recommend Don and Darcy without hesitation, and will definitely turn to Professional Recruiter Associates to recruit talent for my team in the future! After many years in the Industry they are connected to a wide network of quality people. read more

What a complete waste of my time. Found their ad online and unfortunately I should've listened to my gut. I only wish I found these reviews on Yelp or other sites like Glassdoor first, I definitely would've saved myself the drive and the most boring hour of my life with the owner Don talking my ear off and trying to give me the old bait and switch. The office is in ratty shape, Don definitely looked like a criminal, and the current employees there did not have pleasant things to say about him. I've interviewed at other staffing agencies since and they're 1000x more professional and cleanly than this place. No wonder he has a horrendous reputation and nobody wants to work for/with him. read more

Professional Recruiter Associates is a highly capable Recruiting Firm. I worked with Don when I got hired. I also hired Don to hire employees for my company. Don's service has been spectacular. We evaluated many Recruiting Firms during last 3 years. No one was even close to Donald Sonn in creativity, professional knowledge and in showing results. Don epitomizes the "iceberg principle" in recruiting: highly visible interview is only a small part in the entire process of getting hired. Donald works with the candidates on how to interview, what to say, how to present, how to prepare, how to convey information, how to stand out from the crowd. It was a pleasure doing business with Don. read more

In a talent-short labor market, where there are more vacancies than available candidates, Professional Recruiter Associates was able to assemble a panel of three highly qualified individuals who closely matched the profile we were looking for.
