I highly recommend Proven Recruiting for anyone seeking new career or job opportunities. I can't emphasize enough just how knowledgeable, supportive, professional, and genuine the people here are. Neel Mitragotri and Cynthia-Jane Kim guided me through the application and interview process every step of the way, constantly checking in with me by email and phone, providing me with great advice as well as preparing me very well for both phone and in-person interviews. Cynthia even graciously met with me after work hours to prep me for the in-person interview. From beginning to end, I felt that I was in very capable hands. Neel and Cynthia helped me find opportunities that I wouldn't have been able to find on my own. They were also very keen on matching me to the right position and team. They were extremely helpful with any questions that I had and reviewed important documents and letters for any adjustments or corrections. They exercised great communication with me as well as with the hiring manager, updating me with feedback and any developments. In 2 weeks, I successfully accepted a job offer from a very large public company. This was a huge step in my career for me, and I wouldn't have been able to get to this point without the help of Neel and Cynthia. I am so grateful that I met them, and I truly feel that I made great friends along the way. read more

After not working for almost a year, I started my job search mid September. I was very focused on working in the media industry therefore I had closed off any other searches. While I was looking for a job, Heather reached out to me saying she liked my LinkedIn profile and wanted to get in touch about job opportunities. I met with her and we talked about all the things I was looking for in a job. She then came back with a job opportunity that sounded very interesting. It wasn't in the media industry but I was still intrigued by the role. Shortly after, I had an interview with the hiring manager. Although I didn't get that specific job, Heather didn't give up on finding me a role. I was then introduced to the current position I'm in now and I love it thus far! If it wasn't for Heather's hard work and determination to find me a well fit position, I would most likely still be unemployed. She knew how badly I wanted a job after not having one for so long, that she never gave up on trying to help me. Those are the things we look for in a recruiter and I am happy to say that Heather had those attributes! Finding a new job in this time is quite difficult and Heather made it easy and enjoyable! Thank you for all your help Heather! It is greatly appreciated. read more

This was the very first time I have ever gone through a recruiter. I actually feel very blessed that Toan found my resume online and left a voicemail for me on my sister's phone. It was very hard to contact me since I had originally come to San Diego on a vacation and did not have a cell phone. When Toan found that I was looking to stay for good, he worked very hard to help me land the job I am currently employed with now. Although it was difficult to get a hold of me, he was very consistent and constantly reached out to me (through all numbers I might possibly be at in that moment). He was always on top and very professional in guiding me through each step. To start the application process he met with me to explain the company and position as well as listen to my background, work history, and interests. He then called to inform me of the interview process, reminding me to emphasize key topics on my resume, telling me to be myself, and giving me the confidence I needed. He was always easy to contact for any questions, comments, and feedback. I feel that Toan and his team were very knowledgeable, helpful, and professional from start to finish, and I highly recommend Proven Recruiting for those who are looking to find career opportunities. read more

I always read in books that some people go out of their ways to help others but saw it happening at Proven Recruiting. This review is shout out to the recruiter Heather Henderson for her persistency, positivity, professionalism and clear communication, which helped me land my dream role. Job market is hard and job search is very stressful, and all the job seekers need is working with the recruiter who is listening to their needs, communicating clearly, keeping things positive and encouraging them at every step. She met all these qualities; before every interview she set up time for interview prep with me and after interview I was debriefed about my thought process behind seeking that particular role. I have worked with great people in past, but this time the way my job search was handled, it was par excellence. Even after the final round when organization was taking time to make hiring decision, she kept in touch with me every other day communicating clearly that how company is getting updates from hiring management, and finally she delivered the great news which seemed like a dream at first, it was a great moment. All I wish nothing but the best for her at Proven Recruiting. read more

This is a REAL review from a REAL interview candidate! To be honest, I had never heard of Proven Recruiting, until I met Anne Oyales (Burke). Her professionalism was nothing but stellar, from initial contact via zoom through post-interview. Our zoom conversation was like we were old friends. We shared so many similarities and I knew then that our connection was destined. Although I didn't get selected for a particular role, she reached out about two weeks later with another great role! I've contracted for several years and this is the first time I've felt a divine connection - which means a lot to me. Don't get me wrong, I've had great dialogue between recruiters but this specific connection touched my spirit. She also was very meticulous in ensuring everything went right from the beginning to end. She was highly professional and followed up with grace and professionalism. Yes, the role was right up my alley but sometimes things happen for a reason. Thank you, Anne, for following your instincts and reaching out to me. Although I did not get selected, our connection was way better than getting picked for a role. I see great things for you and Proven Recruiting! read more

I met Megan Joyce when I inquired about a position posted by Proven in mid-2023. From the beginning, she was assigned to assist me in finding a job through her recruiting firm. Megan went above and beyond her job description. She frequently reached out to follow up and check on how I was doing in my position. Having someone like her as a supporter and guide throughout my journey with Proven was incredible; I can't express how much emotional support she provided. After I was laid off from the role Megan helped me secure, she continued to reach out and look for opportunities that might suit me. She was a tremendous support during my unemployment, and fortunately, she found a role where I could thrive. Thanks to her efforts, I have now converted to a full-time employee in this position, and I know I would not have this opportunity without her continuous commitment to ensuring my happiness and helping me find a fulfilling role. I am eternally grateful for Megan, and I hope that wherever life takes her, she continues to shine her bright light on those who need it. Thank you, Megan, for making a positive impact on my life! read more

My background doesn't quite fit Proven's area of expertise, but I recently attended their monthly Resume & Interview Coaching Sessions which exceeded my expectations. I was surprised to find the co-founder leading the session and even more shocked he would invest his time in individuals who aren't potential candidates for his clients. The session itself was insightful and we each benefited from his candid feedback. Louis was honest, upfront and sincere. I walked away that evening with these conclusions of the business: + They operate with excellence and great hospitality + There was a sense of integrity and an unspoken principle of give and you'll receive + Whatever Louis is a part of I'd want to support him, sharp guy with intuitive business acumen + Every staff member present conducted themselves professionally and navigated awkward situations well + I was most impressed by their willingness to connect and help people even if there may not be a direct benefit, rare gems these days My experience at Proven and their honest feedback changed my perspective on job hunting: less intimidating and more exciting. read more

I have used other agencies in the recent past, however, they neglected what I was seeking and only worked to fill the positions they needed filling --in total disregard for me. Carly Vierbza, thoroughly reviewed my resume, invited me in for an interview to see exactly what I was looking for found an assignment for me, scheduled the interview and I received a GREAT OFFER the same day and of course, I accepted!

Looking for a new job or career is never easy and there are a lot of things to consider throughout the process. Having a recruiter to help you along the way is crucial in presenting the best version of yourself to prospective employers. Proven and their employees go above and beyond and they are your biggest advocates throughout the hiring process. I had the privilege of working with both Kristen and CJ who are amazing at what they do! They take the time to get to know you as a person before even talking about potential jobs. They invest a lot of time and use their vast resources and networks to make sure any concerns or questions are properly addressed. I knew that they were in my corner and were more concerned with making sure I was happy, than just finding a job. They are experts in resumes, interview prep, and negotiations so their value they add is irreplaceable. If you are looking for a company and recruiter that will really buy-in and walk with you from A to Z look no further than Proven. read more

Recently when i was looking for new opportunity, I came in touch with Proven Recruiting , Anthony called me on my cell and left the voicemail and also dropped me email regarding the job opportunity, Being in the industry for quite some time , i was assuming that this will be lengthy process , lots of round of conversation but i was wrong . Sometime from Job description it's difficult to figure out what the client is looking for . It's very generic and you have to figure out whether profile is right match for you . In this case Anthony has done his home work to clearly state the requirement and client expectations . After speaking with , I was at ease and within a week he arranged the interview process and deal was done .I really had very good experience with the interview schedule process and seamless communication . If you don't want to go through frustrating recruiting process(Most of Job seeker might relate to ), I would say this the agency to work with . read more

I was contacted by Kameron where he informed me about an open position in San Diego. I've never gone through an agency for work before but after my first initial experience with PROVEN, I'd say that I'm relieved that it was such a smooth process during my temp placement. I give all the credit to Kameron for finding me in the first place and placing me in an awesome opportunity especially after I moved to California from Florida with no job or no leads at the moment. He definitely deserves to be recognized for all his hard work. Kameron is easy to get a hold of and also prepares you for every interview to assure you'll get the position. Lindsey and Sarah in the HR Department have also been very helpful throughout the process as well. As a job seeker, I would definitely recommend Kameron from PROVEN because of how comfortable I felt during the entire process. Hats off to you for helping me start a new and exciting chapter in my life in San Diego! read more

I've had the pleasure of working with Adrianna, and without a doubt, she is the best recruiter I've ever worked with. From the very beginning, she was professional, punctual, and incredibly organized. Her attention to detail, industry knowledge, and strong communication skills truly set her apart. What stands out most is Adrianna's passion for what she does and the people she works with. She genuinely cares about her clients and is deeply committed to helping them succeed; not just in landing a role, but in finding the right fit for long-term growth. She goes above and beyond, staying in touch and offering support even after the placement is complete. That level of care and dedication is rare and speaks volumes about her character and work ethic. Adrianna is not only exceptional at what she does, but she would be a valuable asset to any team or organization. I feel incredibly lucky to have worked with her and couldn't recommend her more highly. read more

Five stars for Proven and six stars for April Ayyoubi. From the moment you walk into their office, the staff is very pleasant, hospitable, and professional. April assessed my career focus and called me with a great opportunity. She coached me and got me an offer. What more do you want from a recruiter. If you are looking for a recruiter who cares about your career goals, don't look any further. She follows through, is honest and walks you through the process from beginning to end. This is not a recruiter who is looking for a commission, she is more concerned about making sure that you find the right fit. She understands the importance in finding the right opportunity. Another individual I worked with was Kelli. She coached me on the upcoming interview and made me feel confident and relaxed. If you need to be coached on your interview skills, ask for Kelli!!!!!!!!!!!! Proven, please keep up the good work! read more

After working in public accounting I was ready for a new career, it was perfect timing that Kelly Zastrow sent me a personal message on LinkedIn. I say personal because it wasn't like all the other messages I received from recruiters, offering me jobs that didn't fit my profile or asking me if I had friends to refer! Kelly took the time to understand what I was looking for in a company and career, she only looked at jobs that fit and spent over 3 months finding the perfect one! I never felt pressured or unsure and she was with me through every step. She always responded so timely which was a huge help after each interview, offering any feedback she had. She even sent me the LinkedIn pages of everyone I interviewed with, talk about above and beyond! I also worked with Ron who is a great leader and mentor! His advice was very helpful for my final decision. What a great company, use them!!! read more

I was in between jobs during the pandemic of 2020 when I got a call from Claudia asking if I'm interested in a new opportunity. That first interaction landed me an interview, but the employer was looking for additional skills that I don't have. I thought that was the last time I'll hear from Proven, but a couple of weeks later, Claudia called me and informed me that there is a new opportunity that isn't out yet and she wants me to be the first to apply. Sure enough, I got hired within a week to work for a Fortune 500 company. The onboarding was smooth, and people in Proven helped all the way. During my employment, Heather would periodically check on my status to make sure I'm doing ok. I finished my contract and became a full time employee in a Fortune 500 company thanks to the people in Proven. I highly recommend to ask them if you're looking for employment. read more

Proven has PROVEN to be a top notch agency for me over the past two months while I was unemployed, and continues to be with their professional staff throughout the office. I've not had experience with staffing agencies and I had several agencies knocking on my door while my resume was posted. However, this agency was the one who called me right back or emailed me promptly with my questions or concerns answered and encouraged me along the way. Being unemployed can be scary so it helps to have experts holding your hand during a crucial time while you may be down. I'd like to give a big shout out to Toan Tran for always being there and seeing my potential, coaching me to success and leading me into my new role. Also to Kelly Zastrow for making the prompt intro appointment and keeping the ball rolling. Without Proven, I'd still be on unemployment again this week! read more
