I had a great experience working with Jason when he introduced me to one of his clients. He stayed persistent through the process, maintained a solid relationship with the client, and was adaptive to my leadership model, which not every recruiter knows how to navigate. To top it off, he's easy to work with. I'd gladly work with him again!
