Reviews and Testimonials

Vice President, Sales

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.”

Christian

Candidate: Wine & Spirits

“I applied to a position on LinkedIn that was posted by Nelson Connects (Wine & Spirits). From the start, Nicole was beyond helpful throughout the entire process. She continually checked in, was a major advocate for me during the interview process and was also an influential piece in getting the job. I can't thank Nicole and Nelson Connects enough for playing a pivotal role in my job search and ultimately helping me get the job!”

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.”

Michelle

Candidate: Wine & Spirits

“If you are hiring for a role or looking to find a job in the wine and spirits industry, Executive Recruiter Caitlyn should be your first call. She is a natural connector with extensive relationships in the industry and loves helping people find their perfect role and ultimate happiness. Caitlyn has a passion for the beverage industry with a progressive career working for restaurants, distributors, and suppliers/importers. This direct experience sets her apart and gives her a competitive edge in knowing what it takes to succeed. Working as an agency recruiter makes her scope national, with new roles opening daily across every business segment, from the winery, operations, finance, sales, marketing, and everything in between.”

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.”
