“Al is one of the best recruiters I have had the pleasure to work with.　 He is very detail oriented.　 He took the time to review and understand my professional background and made sure the position he matched me with was a good fit.　 His communication with me was top notch (even making sure I had all my information by calling me on Friday at 5:00pm). Al Abrusia reviewed everything with me before each interview, assuring that I had all the pertinent information covered.　 He also followed up quickly with me after every interview to make sure everything went well.　 I would recommend Al to any professional searching for a great recruiter.”

Thanks Al,

I very much appreciate your assistance in positioning me with Emery Oleochemicals. You were especially helpful when we were in the “red zone” attempting to close on an agreement based on their offer of a position. Your experience and advice were invaluable. We scored the best deal for Emery and me.

Congratulations Joe Menner recently placed Brand Manager at Albemarle! Testimonial: “I wanted to drop you a short note now that it’s been about two months on the job with Albemarle just to let you know that I’m loving the new job. I also wanted to let you know that I really appreciate the professional effort you put forward in finding me this opportunity. Last night I was reading on the plane ride back to Baton Rouge an article from my Psychology Today magazine (attached) The article discusses the hiring process with potential job candidates and how important it is to understand if the candidate has the aptitude to do the job. It reminded me of our early discussions when you were trying to understand if I had the aptitude to do the job before you placed me in front of the client. I’m not sure all companies understand and appreciate this skill set that you bring to the table.
In reflecting on the hiring process I also want to share my appreciation for how well you managed me as well as the process. In today’s world the young, up and coming professionals seem to have lost the soft people side of good business acumen. You were diligent with follow-up, you provided great insight and guidance about the corporate culture and made the correct judgement call when you decided to place me in front of Albemarle as a potential candidate. This skill set is being lost like good phone etiquette and sending thank you notes.

I pass your name along to anyone looking to make a hire as well as people looking to make a job change. A partnership is required between the potential candidate, the employer and your company and you’ve done a great job in managing the three sided relationship.”

Please stay in touch.

Regards,

Joe Menner

Working with Abrusia & Associates has been a great experience. Al and Marie were quite informative and were able to my market my skills and experience to my eventual employer. Al and Marie were able to provide me with instant feedback and kept me up to date with all that was going on with the interview and hiring process. My success in landing a great job would not have been possible if not for the hard work of this group. I would recommend them to anyone that is looking for a position in the pharmaceutical/personal care industries.
