Director of Human Resources – Manufacturing

Molly was extremely responsive and we appreciated that. We were hoping to have a bit more of a variety of candidates but we understand the market is difficult. In the end our hire was a strong candidate and we didn’t feel like we were settling. The only other feedback was ensuring clear communication on who was doing what – I think there was some confusion between Candace and Molly but we got there in the end. We appreciate the work put in to get us there.

Human Resources Manager – Manufacturing

Alec was great to work with. He was very patient with us as our management for this position moved very slowly in decision making. Alec followed up weekly and gave feedback. The negotiation of the job offer with the client took place between Alec and myself which I felt could have been more between the candidate and myself but I get the logistics, Alec went to bat for this candidate.

General Manager – Communications

Emma was fantastic to work with. She communicated in a timely and effective manner for us, provided answers to any questions we had, and provided her advice when we requested it of her.  We’re hopeful we found long-term successful national account managers for our company through this process and Emma’s assistance.

CEO – Technology Corporation

We were pleased with Tom’s work in identifying a candidate for our CFO position. I think our hire will be a terrific addition to our team. Overall, we had an excellent experience working with your team.

Chief People Officer – Education Group

The process with Skywater and Laura was great. In fact, it literally was one of the best experiences. We were presented 3 really good candidates within a week or two but our finalist definitely stood out with his strength on the technology side but most of all his initiative and drive. It was one of the quickest and smoothest experiences we have had with a recruiting agency. Laura followed up with both me and the hiring manager yesterday to make sure that our new hire had a great first day.

I just appreciate the help on this role. It was a confidential search, and it couldn’t have gone any better.

Hiring Manager – Restaurant Chain

It really was a pleasure to work with Josh, Ashley & team on our Controller search.  I’m not sure how much you’re privy to – but we were really in a bind with another search firm, and struggling to find the right candidates after nearly two months.

Josh had essentially “cold called” our CFO a while back, and I keep those contacts on the back burner, just in case.  Well, that case had arrived, plus I found it funny that I’ve just moved to the Twin Cities from Chicago, so that connection was unique.  I emailed Josh late on a Thursday afternoon – and by early Friday morning, we were on a Zoom call.  By Tuesday, he had handed the search over to Ashley, and by Wednesday I received the first candidate profile.

It was with the speed and attentiveness to what we were looking for that we quickly connected with our candidate – and were impressed with her experience and thrilled that she was in a position to move as quickly as we were.  Because of that expediency, there was a ton of communication required, and Ashley was up for it all (even through the holiday season) – email, text – she was so responsive.

So to put it succinctly, my first experience with SkyWater may have been on a whim (and out of frustration), but it certainly won’t be my last.  I’m super appreciative of the support throughout the process, and thrilled of the outcome.  Our new hire started this week, and is off to a great start.

Legal Recruitment Manager – Law Firm

I had a great experience with Georgie and would be happy to work with her on future placements. Our new-hire was an excellent find – I know her team is very excited about her joining.

HR Manager – Packaging Firm

Stephen has worked with us for several years and I really appreciate the partnership he has with me in HR along with our hiring managers.

Stephen knows our culture well and knows what our team is looking for in candidates.  Sometimes the candidates ask Stephen if he works for us internally because he knows us so well!  That is a huge plus when we are recruiting for our positions.  I appreciate that he goes out of his way to find the right fit for our business and culture and our hiring managers are tough to please.  Nice to put our trust in a company and a recruiter that we value so much.  I look forward to continuing with Stephen and team.
