Shabnam is one of the few partners we've worked with who just GETS us. She can meet someone one time and know that they would thrive in the environment we've created for talent here. She doesn't waste time with a "maybe" candidate, she prioritizes the great ones. She's fast paced, responsive, and she treats everyone she works with like a human being - with understanding and empathy. I appreciate team members who will tell it like it is, and the fact that I can call her up any day, pick her brain, tap into her expertise, and she can do the same with me - it's my favorite thing about working together. She isn't just sourcing talent - she's a partner, a strategic advisor, someone I can trust and whom I genuinely love working with. Top notch, this one.

I worked with Shabnam to find two critical Director level positions within my organization; we were faced with numerous challenges, not the least of which was our geography - not necessarily a highly sought location. Her process of understanding exactly what we were looking for and developing strategies to identify the right fit resulted in identifying two individuals that have made an amazing impact on my organization, but also vested in our geography ensuring they were a lasting fit. She was responsive, engaged and vested in finding us the exact right fit and I would highly recommend working with her. And, she was just an enjoyable person to work with!
