Many of our clients are happy to share their personal experiences with us here and by telephone.

"Wendy of IT MindFinders did what I wish all search firms would do. She was able to get a clear understanding of our business, including its challenges and its goals, and from that articulated a plan for filling our very important IT Manager position. She did not go to a database of resumes hoping one would stick. We were very happy with the service, the approach, and the no-nonsense way she handled the whole experience for us.” Chief Financial Officer

“IT MindFinders stands out in the field of IT recruitment by viewing clients’ and candidates’ needs from a broader perspective.  Janis Strathearn understands that a candidate is more than a bulleted list of today's leading IT buzzwords and acronyms.  While many recruiters focus strictly on matching the required skill set listed in a job description, Janis takes the time to learn about the other skills and aptitudes that really make a candidate stand out.  By going this extra mile, she not only adds value for clients, but also ensures an excellent fit for both client and candidate. Janis has helped us build an effective, cohesive team. She truly knows the difference between an answer and a solution.”

This investment in learning was a key differentiator in the service level we have experienced with IT MindFinders.”

Director, Information Systems

“When I look back on numerous reference calls over the years, I think that your skill in execution on this task is one of the best.   Most recruiters just take down the info, and never get into the detailed discussion that leads to a better understanding of the candidate.”

“Janis Strathearn clearly understood our requirements when we were looking for two Sales Directors. All of the candidates she produced for each of the positions were people we would have wanted. It wasn’t a matter of did they fit, it was a matter of which one was the best fit.  We really felt they (the candidates) were completely suitable and we were pleased that each of them knew exactly what to expect (from us).”
