    Lana has been an excellent resource and a supportive part of my professional journey for the past few years.Lana first assisted me in finding a role over 6 years ago after months of unsuccessful placement attempts on my own. She provided an objective assessment of my options and set up an effective plan given my time constraints. She was very thorough, professional and efficient. I had a role with an organization within weeks, I’m still with that organization today. I’ve since used Lana to recruit for open roles at my organization and having worked with a number of recruiters over the years, Lana’s client service is above average. If you’re looking for an honest, insightful professional, then look no further.

    Lana is highly personable, professional, knowledgeable and strategic. She understands people and the nuances of HR and talent/recruitment. She is persuasive without being pushy. She listens carefully and then executes a well crafted plan to achieve her clients' outcomes.

    Yes, I recommend Lana with great enthusiasm! Lana cares greatly for others. She has tremendous patience, empathy, and excellent communication skills. Lana is a great listener and helps others feel understood. A natural problem solver, Lana helps others find paths to success and can deliver feedback, even when not what the recipient wants to hear, in a way that is respectful, caring and still very effective. Lana is very good at connecting the dots and sees opportunities that others don't. Highly recommend!
