Having previously worked for a retained search firm, I knew we couldn't afford (and I didn't want to pay) retainers or contingency fees, so I hired contract recruiter Michael Del Prete of Dulles Consulting. He is a former techie himself (over 20+ years of DBA and developer experience) so has an incredible network of contacts, he's highly ethical, shared my sense of urgency and I was proud to have him represent my company. He ultimately placed over 80 employees for us and saved me close to a $1M in fees I would have otherwise paid.” - Kathy P., HR Manager – Sunrocket VoIP
