It is my great pleasure to provide this enthusiastic recommendation for Jeff Snyder at J.A. Snyder & Associates, Inc. Jeff's approach to the recruiting process is unlike any other employment service I have encountered. It is his business ethics, honesty, listening to the customer's requirements and building lasting relationships that drives his process above the rest. His exceptional communication skills open the door into gathering the technical employment requirements of his customers. Jeff is able to drive the process in a focused and goal oriented manner.

When future employment needs arise, I will contact Jeff first. His firm is pure quality and no-hype - superior customer service and orientation. No other firm has left me with such a positive and lasting impression.

Carl, Chief Information Security Officer, Insurance & Financial Services

I highly recommend Jeff Snyder as a professional recruiter who gets the job done superbly. He succeeded in getting me hired for a rewarding position before numerous other recruiters even had potential jobs lined up.

In my contacts with Jeff, he responded quickly and took the time to understand the type of position that would bring me the most satisfaction. He quite evidently had done exactly the same with his clients who were looking for professional staff, because the resulting match between my management style and the local culture, and between my desired responsibilities and those of the position were extremely close. He guided me through the application and interview process, providing excellent advice every step of the way. The result was a relatively painless hiring process, with minimal delays and an extremely high level of satisfaction on both sides.
If you want a responsive, thoughtful, and extremely competent recruiter on your side, talk to Jeff. He won't steer you wrong.

This is a formal letter of recommendation for J.A. Snyder and Associates. I have known Mr. Jeff Snyder for the past decade. He recruited me once as a candidate. I have used the services of his organization ever since its inception.

Mr. Snyder worked with my staff, the Human Resources department and myself. Not only did he understand the technology infrastructure completely, he understood the type of personnel that will enhance it. He probed us until he completely understood the type of people that fits our corporate philosophy and culture. Sometimes it seems like he knows us better than ourselves.

Mr. Snyder is a relentless worker, who earns every penny of the recruitment fee. He is unconventional in his search for the right fit. He works with the candidate, and is always candid in briefing us to their strengths and weaknesses. He never hesitates to caution us about some potential shortcomings in a candidate even after he has presented a candidate. He is always trying to look after our best interest. Best of all, he is following up and giving us feedback throughout a recruitment process.
He works with both the candidate and employer to figure the best compensation package that is win-win for both parties. He is excellent in coaching and guiding both parties through this tricky yet necessary part.

Jeff's ability to understand the nuts and bolts of technology is a key factor as to why candidates trust him to find them job enrichment and employers depend on him to present the right skill set. That is the reason we continue to deal with him exclusively. He saves us valuable time and money. He usually provides very few candidates for a given opening, and we benefit from his narrow focus.

Jeff has filled Technology Management to heavy-duty application development positions for us. He continues to keep abreast of what is necessary to be successful in a particular area in technology.

He made me successful and I believe he can do the same for others in my position.

Regards,
Sam, CTO and EVP, Incentive Marketing

I recommend Jeff Snyder as a highly qualified recruiter in the field of information technology security. As an experienced IT professional I am impressed with Jeff's understanding of the business and his attention to detail. Jeff's sincere interest in providing a win-win situation for both clients and candidates sets him apart from other recruiters.

Those that work with Jeff will find that he is a trustworthy professional. During my job search campaign he often took time from his busy schedule to share information and provide feedback. His input was instrumental in helping me to land a management position within a successful Fortune 500 company.

I intend to call on Jeff in the future to help address my staffing needs. I know from experience that Jeff will focus first on understanding the job requirements and then submit only qualified candidates.

Stephen, CISSP, IT Security Manager, Manufacturing & Chemical Industry

I want to personally thank you for your continued assistance with recruiting high-quality staff for our company. Our most recent vacancy, IT Applications Director, was a particularly difficult position to fill. As always, you provided a well-screened candidate who was a good fit for the role. She has proven to be an excellent employee and I am very pleased the contributions she is already making.

I believe that you've placed 41 employees at Premcor (previously Clark Refining and Marketing) during the past 10 years. Congratulations on achieving that milestone. Your success with our account is a reflection of your diligence to fully understand our needs and screen candidates to match those needs. I appreciate your responsiveness and professionalism, and look forward to doing business with you in the future.

Sincerely,
Cindy, CIO, Oil Refining Industry

I would like to take this opportunity to recommend Jeff Snyder as a recruiter in the Information Security field. I have had the great pleasure to work with Jeff during the course of the last six months. His perseverance and professionalism directly led to my finding and obtaining a new career opportunity to meet my career goals.

Jeff is not your run of the mill recruiter. He takes the time to fully understand career objectives and gives an honest assessment of your career strengths and weaknesses. Once identified, he seeks out unsolicited opportunities in the field to match your skill set and goals. Jeff is not in the habit of flooding the market with your resume, but actually takes the time to understand the positions he comes across, and will only present you to organizations with matching goals.

Again, I highly recommend Jeff, and will certainly work with him in the future to develop my staff.

Matthew, CISSP, Director - IT Risk Management, Banking & Financial Services
