Gave me a career. Dan Casey enticed me away from Falcon Engineering. Enjoyed a fabulous career. I will write a chapter in my second book! STERLING STORIES will give hope for future employees. What an ADVENTURE! WHO'S IN CHARGE NOW?

I had just been laid off my job after four months of furlough, when out of the blue I received a call from Aurelija Cekalinas from Sterling Engineering. She had come across an old resume of mine from ziprecruiter that I had forgotten was still active. She advised me to get her an updated resume as she had a company in urgent need of a travel coordinator, which just so happens to be my expertise! I was out of a job for ONE WEEK in the middle of COVID thanks to Aurelija.

She fast tracked the hiring process and I started right away. The best part of this entire experience is I was hired last week for a permanent position after three months of working a contract. Sterling was always professional in answering any questions that I had as I had no experience working with a staffing agency. From Aurelija to Human Resources, they always responded and were super easy to work with. THANK YOU for your assistance in a new career with ATS Automation. I highly recommend working with this company! They care about their employees. :

I had an great experience working with Ashley! She connected me to a job quickly and made sure the transition was as smooth as possible. Communication was good and whenever I had question she always found an answer!

Communication could be a lot better than what it is at this company. I always had to reach out to them and wait from up to 3-4 days for them to fix a communication mistake they made with the company I worked for continuously. My recruiter did not even communicate with me that the company I was temping for, did not need me to come in anymore. They have yet to call. I have left messages with my recruiter and nothing. This is unacceptable and deserves 2 stars.

Ashley Schmitt helped me get an amazing career and I cannot thank her enough! She went above and beyond and was flexible with her schedule to work with me on finding this amazing opportunity. She told me what was expected of me in the interview and gave me valuable insight into what the company was looking for. Thank you Ashley!
