Testimonials:
“My recruiting experiences with Hunter Jr. have been extremely good. He always responds in a timely manner, provides good applicant flow, and acts as a “partner,” rather than a vendor, throughout the entire process.”
– Chief Talent Officer, Indianapolis, IN

“Hunter Jr. was friendly, professional, and highly accessible. He prepared me well for my interviews and offered honest, meaningful, and useful feedback at every step of the interview process.”
– Manager Selection Analyst, Chicago, IL

“Hunter was great to work with. He knew a lot about the industry and was able to provide valuable insight into firms, such as career planning, “typical” offers, and other comparisons that I wouldn’t have known otherwise. I will, and have, recommended him to friends looking to switch jobs in the industry!”
– Senior Client Associate, Chicago, IL

“Hunter was very easy to work with, and I felt that he definitely had my best interests in mind throughout the entire process. He followed up with me quickly, which I really appreciated, and gave me great advice that I will keep with me.”
– Trust Relationship Officer, Kalamazoo, MI

“Hunter kept me optimistic while setting realistic expectations throughout the process. He seemed to really understand what I was looking for, which made things easy. Hunter really took time to understand what I wanted in my next opportunity and brought me two great opportunities relatively quickly. He was helpful and supportive throughout the whole process – he kept me excited about the opportunities and was there for me when I needed coaching around the offer and resignation process. Hunter exceeded my expectations on all fronts.”
– SVP, Senior Private Banker, St. Louis, MO

“Hunter took a lot of time to learn about my background and what I was interested in. He knew I wasn’t looking for a position at a larger institution, so the positions he presented me were all RIA based. Most recruiters have the reputation of trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. Every position Hunter presented was reasonable and, if I wasn’t interested, he quickly moved on.”
-Tax & Financial Planning Manager, Grand Rapids, MI

“Hunter and Judson Group were far and away better than any other recruiter I’ve worked with. They really do their homework to help align your career goals with potential job opportunities. They also really hone in on the interview prep and help you perform your best in the interview.”
-Associate, Chicago, IL
