With 15 years in my industry and a Masters degree I didn't anticipate finding a job in New Orleans to be as difficult as it was. Being from another state I was looked at a transient instead of someone who had been wanting to move here for years. I was getting really frustrated and decided to call in some professional help. I called and emails all of the "recruiters" and "head hunters" in the area. The first person to reply was Amy Shanks. And she was amazing. Her personality, smarts and connections in NOLA after almost two decades here gets the job done. At my initial interview with her she explained what she does for her clients. (Think sports agent) And then...she did it. She got me interviews I never would of gotten on my own and then negotiated a fantastic salary package. Amy made herself available for questions and pre interview pep talks. She also is one of the most genuinely lovely people I've met in New Orleans. If you're searching for help getting you to the right employer and to work with someone who makes the process far less stressful call her immediately! read more

Amy Shanks of Strategic Recruitment Solutions recently helped me with my employment recruitment needs. I have used several recruitment firms in the past, having found that the best quality jobs are generally found through a recruiter. I don't have any complaints about the previous recruiters, however, I can tell you the primary difference I found. Amy walks you through every single step of the process; from the testing phase, pre-interview phase, interview phase, post-interview phase. I have been through this process in the past, so it wasn't new to me for the most part, but even so, she very professionally "held my hand" every single step of the way. For someone newer to the job market, this information and assistance is absolutely invaluable. For me, it helped significantly even though this wasn't my first "rodeo". My biggest weakness in the employment seeking process is salary negotiations, etc. To me, this is the most painful and difficult part of the entire process. She made it completely painless. I cannot say enough about her skills in this regard and how wonderful she was. She met and exceeded my expectations in every regard. Amy is absolutely a consummate professional, and a MASTER negotiator. If you are thinking about using a recruiter to find your next job, I HIGHLY recommend Amy Shanks. HIGHLY! (Did I say HIGHLY?!) P.S.: If you look through the reviews she has previously received, you will note one "Negative Nelly". I've learned on YELP to always check out anyone that gives a negative review. Check their other reviews. Generally, as in this case, you will find that the vast majority of their reviews are also just as negative. Which, to me, says more about them than the business they are reviewing. I'll let you draw your own conclusions, just know that Amy Shanks is AWESOME, and I HANDS DOWN recommend her for your recruitment needs!!! read more

I started working with Amy when I was relocating to New Orleans from Washington, D.C. She was incredibly professional and responsive and worked hard to make sure that she found the right job for me. She provided so much information about the area and the types of jobs that were available for someone with my background and really gained my trust. She always made herself available and remained honest and true to her word throughout the hiring process. She continued to follow up with me after I was hired to ensure my happiness. Top notch all the way! 10 out of 10 would recommend! read more
