K.W. recommends Brian Bruce and Premier Solutions

HeadHunterBrian — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 19:42:39 +0000

My name is K.W. and I recently made the decision to look at other opportunities to expand my career. I was apprehensive about using a recruiter service due to some of the feedback I have heard in the past. I met Brian Bruce with Premier Solutions and made the decision to use his company as a catalyst for my career search. My experience with Brian was nothing short of outstanding.

Brian was very professional in all his communication and he made sure that my and my family’s needs were put first. Brian took the time to thoroughly review my goals in a new career. He aligned me with a terrific opportunity in my field. Throughout the entire interview process Brian was very helpful and considerate of my schedule. He aligned our conversations around my availability. Brian quickly followed up and gave me precise feedback after each step of the process.

I accepted my offer with the new company and am exciting about embarking on my new career. It would be my honor to recommend Brian and Premier Solutions to any individual or company that is looking to align great professionals with career opportunities. I am very pleased with my experience and the results provided to me by Brian.

Recently I had the good fortune to utilize the assistance of Brian Bruce to help me land a job with a growing company in the restaurant industry.

Brian took the time to get to know me personally and asked what I was looking for in a career before he suggested any companies to me.

After determining which company would be the best fit for me, Brian set up an interview and helped prepare me for the interview process as well.

Brian stayed in contact with me every step of the way, by phone and e-mail to ensure the process was moving along in a timely manner. Thanks to his great communications, I always knew that he was fully engaged in his efforts to help me get the job.

After I was made an offer, Brian coached me on my acceptance and after I gave my notice, he offered advice on the pitfalls of accepting a counter offer.

Additionally, his website is a great resource for information to help you get the job you are looking for.

Brian exceeded all my expectations of working with a recruiter. I highly recommend Brian Bruce to anyone who is looking for employment in the restaurant industry.

Thank you Brian for providing me with a tremendous opportunity with a great company.

Sincerely,

San Antonio, TX

M.C.'s Testimonial and High Praise!

HeadHunterBrian — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 12:02:46 +0000

Hello,

My name Is M.C. and this is a testimonial for Mr. Brian Bruce and his tremendous service as a restaurant recruiter.

I was initially hesitant, because over a period of a couple months, I had used a few recruiters, all promising a great level so service and satisfaction. When I first was in contact with Mr. Bruce, I figured " Yeah, he's going to be just like all the other broken promises".

I was looking for a service that not only valued me as a client, but also respected me as a person as well!

Mr. Bruce delivered on ALL accounts.

He asked me not only stock questions, but deeper insight to get to know ME as an individual and not as a file on his desk.

I not only wanted to gain employment, but gain employment with a company that is respected, and has strong values as I know he does as well.

Brian, went above and beyond to assist me with my career search and not only set up an interview with a tremendous company, but he prepped me in all facets of the process as well.

During the time that followed, Brian continued to follow up with me right until the day that ***** hired their newest manager, Me!

Brian, I am writing this testimonial not only as a thank you to you, but as to anyone that is currently searching, and to all other recruiters in the business. If you want to find professional, respectful,genuine work assistance, Mr. Brian Bruce is the gentleman to call. Without his help I wouldn't be in the current position I am in and I greatly appreciate all of his and his staff's hard work.

Sincerely,

M.C.

Having Brian on my side to gain employment was invaluable. I ended up going with a company that he had worked for in the past and could personally recommend to me. Because of this, I knew that I was not just cattle being herded through the system.

Brian advised me on how to interview, gave specific examples of resignation letters, and prepared me for the dreaded "counter offer". I hope I never need him again for myself, but I can and would recommend him to anyone that is serious about their own career potential.

Testimonial from CB on his new DO job in OKC!

HeadHunterBrian — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 16:00:19 +0000

Let me start off by stating how "extremely" pleased I have been while working with Brian! He made the whole process of looking for a job much easier than I have ever experienced. In the past, looking for a job felt as if you were actually working a full time job just to find one. Brian made what is considered a stressful experience a very pleasant one.

When he began working with me on my "new" career, I was currently working for another company that I had concerns about. Brian handled all of the requirements needed to get into the interview process...and he offered so much more! He coordinated all of the interviews and provided invaluable suggestions for presenting myself in the best light for my new potential employer. Furthermore, his website was extremely helpful in its content. Someone who is looking for a career really should check it out...absolutely priceless! I am excited about the new opportunity that has been afforded me through my working with him. Through his efforts, I have accepted a position that pays more, has less work hours, and better work hours than my previous job. Because of Brian taking an interest in my career, I will now be able to spend more quality time with my family...which is the greatest benefit of all.

I would definitely recommend Brian's services to anyone looking for a positive change in their work career...in fact, I already have to numerous friends/co-workers. In short, if you're faced with the task of finding employment, Brian is someone you should talk to...you won't be disappointed.......

Many, many thanks Brian...

Sincerely,

OKC

Wanting a change from my current job, I contacted Brian Bruce with my resume and qualifications. He instantaneously took control in securing interviews for my employment. He lent his expertise in advising me on options of approaching my interviewers.

As a result I was hired after only 2 interviews with a reputable company who wanted to employ me as much as I wanted to work for them. I was offered a great package deal which I quickly accepted. I would encourage anyone that is wanting a change in employment to contact Brian.

On a final note, even though it is Brian's job to find you employment I genuinely feel that he also cares about his clients and wants only the best for them!!

HeadHunterBrian — Wed, 12 May 2010 13:48:48 +0000

It had been many years since I looked for a new job. As with a lot of people I had never contacted a recruiter. Most people will decide to employ the services of a recruiter nowadays – my advice – be sure that Brian Bruce is one of them. The first few recruiters that contacted me just did not have the job opportunity that Brian’s company could provide.

I am in a segment of the workforce where downsizing was occurring but Brian Bruce remained positive during the initial contact/interview. It is a difficult period while searching for the next career opportunity but Brian Bruce stayed in contact with me as much as I needed.

My personal requirements in working with or for anyone are honesty, integrity, and honoring commitments. Thankfully Brian and I were a match from the start. He also keeps the interest of his clients as a top priority as well, assuring that the talent meets their requirements. There was no false hope or unfilled promises made during the entire process.

Brian’s contacts in the industry really paid dividends as I was offered a position that I was aiming for, and my expectations were exceeded. I am now working with a world wide organization that will provide me a brighter future than previously experienced.

Good Luck to You All – Brian will be with you the whole way!

Big Z's Testimonial

HeadHunterBrian — Fri, 07 May 2010 13:26:34 +0000

I started with my former company as a cook 8 years ago. I was slightly reluctant to start looking around on my own. After one conversation with Brian he told me exactly what he was going to do and turned out to be very helpful throughout the entire process. He and I played phone tag for the first 4 weeks of the process. He stuck with it and didn't give up and found me the job that I wanted. I would highly recommend to anyone even considering a change to give Brian an opportunity.

HeadHunterBrian — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 16:55:32 +0000

I was new to the job-seeking process; had worked for the same company for over 25 years. I was concerned the process would be expensive and invasive. I was seeking an easy transition to a new job.

I received an immediate response when I sent an E-mail requesting consideration for a job posting. Brian handled the introductions to the prospective employer and gave me insight into what they were looking for in a candidate--coached me on questions and answers for the interview.

The result was that I got a very quick turn around for an interview with a brand and company that was a good match for me and was made an offer quickly.

I’d recommend Brian. He was cordial and "believable" in his dealings with me.

Good evening, Brian:

I hope things are going well.

I wanted to say that I am sincerely appreciative of your recent efforts to present me as a viable candidate for the Director of Marketing position in Atlanta.

While I did not make through the vetting process, I really felt you strongly positioned my qualifications before the client and gave me a fighting chance to succeed.

I do have good news though. Two weeks ago, I received an offer from xxxxx as a Brand manager in their corporate marketing department and accepted job.

I feel the job has a great opportunity for growth in the months ahead. I sincerely believe that I can rise through the ranks and make a positive difference in the company.

Additionally, I feel blessed to have found a job where so many of my associates have been looking for months.

Let's stay in touch and please forward any available opportunities you have. I will forward them out to my network of business associates who are still searching for employment.

Thanks again for your consideration and assistance. Have a great evening!

Below is a recommendation from a potential candidate I've been working with. It's always nice to get an "atta boy!" from those you're trying to help!

To whom this may concern:

I would like to commend Brian Bruce for the work he does as a restaurant recruiter. From the start, he was a refreshing change from what I was used to. He actually acknowledged my initial email inquiry by giving me a return phone call almost immediately to break the ice so we could get to know each other. My experience with most recruiters is that they do not acknowledge you at all unless they have a specific opening for you. Brian thanked me for my interest and indicated that he did not have anything at that time but that when he did, he would contact me. Of course, I was skeptical Within a week or so, Brian called me back and said he had an opening which might be a "fit" for me. From that time on, (up to, including, and following my initial interview), Brian was very proactive in the process. I did not get the second interview or the job, but I was left with the conviction that if there was another opportunity for me, Brian would bring it to the table and in that case, I would want Brian representing me once again. Brian, thanks for your hands-on and personal approach to recruiting. I wish there were more recruiters like you out there.

HeadHunterBrian — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 15:32:56 +0000

A restaurant manager I just placed just sent this testimonial of the work I did for him. I have to tell you, it's because of things like this that I absolutely love my job!

Brian,

“My perceptions before I decided to use your services, I wasn't real sure about how things worked I have not had to look for a job in 21+ years so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was not reluctant because I’m willing to try anything once and I’m very happy that I did because once I talked to you on the phone I immediately knew your intentions were to do your best and look for the best options for me and my goals.

The solution that I was seeking at the time you were hired, I needed to find an opportunity in a short amount of time that fit my career goals. I did not have a lot of time to spend looking around because I was currently employed, have a family to take care of and those things took up most of my time. After talking to you I knew that I could still concentrate on these things and not have to worry about involving more of my time or changing my lifestyle to fit looking for new opportunities.

What you provided for me the most was your great communication I always knew where things stood on a day to day and weekly basis. I have never met someone that has such great care and concern about their clients. Your work ethic is the best and I mean that. I can now take care of my family the way I have always wanted to and have an opportunity to grow with a company that has room for my ambitions. I feel like a ten ton weight has been lifted off of my shoulders, I’m very excited about my new opportunity, thanks.

The result of working with you is I have everything in my life that I have ever wanted and a new friend too. I was under a lot of stress at the time and you made all of that go away each time I talked to you. You are very dedicated to what you do and make people feel relaxed when you talk to them. I at no time had any questions that your intentions were to find what best suited my situation.

I am very comfortable in giving all of my friends and co-workers your contact information because I know that they will be taken care of in the best possible way and not have to worry about trust issues or miscommunication. Thank you very much for making me feel like someone still cares.”

Sincerely,
Buddy M, New General Manager
