I had the pleasure of working with Tom Hjorth when looking for my current Software Engineering position. It was immediately clear that he was in a class of his own compared to all the other recruiters I had previously interacted with. Professional, courteous, and with enormous attention to detail, Tom guided me through the whole process from the initial interactions with the company to interviews and hiring. I was extremely impressed with how well he understood the company he was hiring for, and how he sought to understand the candidate's strengths and weaknesses. He skillfully navigated around every potential stumbling block and made the process seem simple and natural. I really think every other recruiter in this market has a great deal to learn from Tom, and I would definitely recommend him to my colleagues without any reservations.

Tom recruited direct hire talent for me exclusively when I was both Director and CIO at Budco for over eight years. From all levels of development staff to directors, I made offers to virtually every candidate he presented. Regardless of the skill set required, Tom managed to find the talent we needed, whenever we needed it. He made recruiting top-level talent easy by listening to our needs, screening candidates and delivering on his commitments. Tom and I have known each other for over ten years, both personally and professionally. Tom’s character, integrity and ability to execute are strengths he possesses in abundance, at a time when these are the values most needed by any organization. Tom Hjorth would be an asset to any company fortunate enough to retain his services.

In the several years I have used Tom's services, he has been consistently able to place more candidates into my team than any other recruiter, and that's saying something, given our unique requirements and extremely high selectivity. Unlike his many pushy competitors, he does not send you every resume he happens to come across, but instead truly listens to the requirements, genuinely tries to understand them, and in the end, delivers only highly targeted candidates, already pre-screened and vetted, who actually meet those requirements, without wasting a whole lot of the hiring manager's time. In other words, he provides an extremely valuable service that has helped me to build a world-class team of developers. If you are hiring, and you are selective about whom you hire, I strongly recommend Tom's services. He has been consistently and repeatedly able to do something no other recruiter could match.
Andrew W: Director of Software Development
Tom is one of the best recruiters I have worked with. He is very communicative, very quick to respond, and very supportive. You can trust his description of how a company is and what it’s like to work there to be accurate. I enjoyed every step of my recruitment process with Tom and would definitely work with him again in the future should the situation arise.
Lisa P: Software Engineer
Tom is one of the most outstanding staffing partners I have worked with in my career. I worked with Tom for over 3 years, mostly supporting our CIO organization. Tom loves to dig in, and find the elusive candidates the Hiring Manager is looking for. He is exceptional at picking up the phone, talking to candidates personally. Hiring Managers and candidates alike, really enjoyed speaking with Tom, due to his level of experience, professionalism, and positive attitude. He is simply an outstanding, experienced, staffing professional.
