“Elizabeth’s character impressed me by her willingness to extend sound advice and encouragement as I was transitioning from a direct hire career to independent corp-to-corp contracting. In those early days the business world was a scary place! Many recruiters contacted me but Elizabeth was unique because she followed through, taking considerable time to advise me, when she herself had absolutely nothing to gain from her advice! A year or so later, my wife also met with Elizabeth several times and was greatly impressed with her. I unhesitatingly highly recommend Elizabeth Palmiter as a recruiter of of the highest integrity. She is someone that you can trust to serve YOUR needs rather than her own.” April 20, 2009
