I worked with Colin during my transition to PM at Millennium and his guidance and expertise were instrumental in all the steps of the process. He has a long-term view of relationships, and was willing to spent time and effort even if initially I was not planning any move. He will be my reference for recruiter in the future.

He's also a great person and will think about your personal preferences on top of your professional career.

Colin is everything you could hope for in a recruiter. He hustles, serves as an advocate for his client, and is a tremendous human being to boot. Any friend in the industry looking for a Sherpa to help them get to their next good home, I'll happily send them Colin's way.
