Client: Spirits Company
“Caitlyn has been an absolute pleasure to work with, and is a total professional. I would recommend her to anyone when looking to meet their hiring needs.”
General Manager
Client: Cooperage
“I started working with Nicole and Nelson Connects in 2020, and since that time Nelson Connects has filled two critical positions for our organization with valued employees who are still part of our team. We filled both a sales and operational position, so different roles and candidates, and the process was great both times. Hiring the right team members is critical, especially for a smaller, family-owned business like ours, and there is a lot of nuance to evaluation, negotiation, benefits, etc. Nelson Connects guided us through the process and repeatedly presented interesting candidates. I recommend Nelson Connects to industry colleagues looking to fill important roles.”
Co-Directeur Général
Client: Wine Importer
“As co-owner of a large wine importer of Bordeaux wines, I have used the services of Nelson Connects for six years and have recruited six people through their platform. I have always been very pleased with their services and professionalism. Lately I have worked with Nicole and recruited two regional managers. The experience was extremely positive, and Nicole has been committed to our project.”
