What Client & Candidates Say About Ed:

Ed and I have not been able to find the right fit for a new employee just yet, but it is virtually inevitable since Ed goes into the market to find a real game-changer with every opportunity. He's a pleasure to work with.
Michael, President of a solar company in Connecticut

Ed was knowledable about the position and was able to set up a meeting with his client relatively easily and quickly once the client decided to come to the table to hire. I found Ed to be a straight-shooter who did not sugar coat anything and gave me a clear picture of what MRElgin had in the pipeline in relation to my qualifications.
Neil, Renewables Trader in New York

Ed helped me prep for the interviews he arranged for me. Extremely helpful.
