TESTIMONIALS
Julie Arnold has helped me with two complete distribution team build outs and filling in open territories in at Mainstay. She always takes the time to understand the company’s culture and sales process. This is part of the reason that she has consistently provided the most qualified candidates possible. Her candidates are always prepared and very knowledgeable about the firm and position for which they are interviewing. She is a true strategic business partner and has been an important part of my success in building distribution over the years.

Julie takes the time to learn about your business and expectations prior to making any candidate introductions. Julie’s success comes from listening, thinking and understanding my business, my needs and my expectations. Through constant feedback and preparation for each position, Julie has found the perfect candidate for every search that we have done together over the last 10 years. Loyalty is paramount. It is a description of someone that you can trust, someone that can help, and someone that can improve upon the requested goals. Thank you, Julie Arnold.

Julie came highly recommended and lived up to her reputation of quality and excellence in recruiting. She took the time to understand our company culture, our products and our needs. We were very focused on the quality and qualifications of our candidates being precise. Additionally, cultural fit was of the utmost importance. Julie quickly delivered an exceptional pool of candidates that met our high expectations. Julie's years in the business, knowledge of the industry and extensive network, along with her professionalism and concerted efforts have benefited our team. She made the recruiting process easy for us. I would highly recommend Julie and her firm to be a trusted and valuable partner for any company.

I've known Julie for almost 15 years. She was an integral part of putting the initial sales team together at Met Life. When building an extensive team of 15 or more people the process can become challenging. Julie's professionalism and expert ability to spot and attract the right talent was undeniable. As we were a new and unproven company at that time, this ability was essential. We built a very strong team with her considerable help. Julie has the industry knowledge in all areas, all products, channels and has become a well known recruiting professional partner to many companies in our industry. I feel fortunate for her help in the past and would certainly work with Julie and her team in the future.

I've known and worked with Julie for over 10 years. In that time, we completed numerous successful searches for external wholesalers. Over that period, I found Julie’s intense desire to fully understand not only the nature of the position but also the culture of the company was unparalleled. Although any recruiter can fill a room with potential bodies, Julie’s unique talent was finding the right people. Through her persistent and diligent research of her candidates and my needs, she consistently found very strong candidates. Her ability to find the right people, with the appropriate inventory of skills and personality traits, invariably made my decision process challenging in that there was always more than one qualified applicant. Her insight, experience and knowledge of both the candidates and my needs would then help me narrow down the choices. It was clear that, while she would always drive the process quickly, Julie’s main concern was in placing the right person in a position that they would excel in for years to come. Anyone in a hiring capacity looking for talented people that will deliver more than the minimum requirements would do well to consider Julie, her team and their services.
