What clients say

I had the good fortune to meet Jim Rossi through a Veterans Administration program designed to assist veterans in finding suitable employment. Jim was very knowledgeable about job opportunities in the region and had numerous contacts in HR departments in large corporations and small companies. He provided exceptional service, methodically identified my strengths and skill set, and composed a unique plan to focus efforts in my job search.

Carl Livermore, Client

Jim and I were quickly able to establish a plan to speed my return and success at work. Jim was able to assist me with vital computer training I needed to move into a position that I was capable of performing. Without Jim’s help, direction and concern, I would not be where I am today.

Bob Sipp, Client

Jim assesses the actual skills used by his clients and candidates and matches those skills to real jobs with real companies in the real world. Jim depends upon facts gleaned from interviews and field experience in drawing his matches. Research by assumption is not permitted. If you are serious about getting the right person in the right position, Jim should be your first stop.

Steve Franckhauser, Client

Jim’s knowledge, professionalism, and expertise expanded my career potential. After many years out of the job market, he opened many avenues I would not have otherwise pursued.

Joanne Mueller, Client

Jim Rossi is a dedicated, committed professional that helps individuals utilize their talents and resources to improve their quality of life through employment opportunities. I have witnessed first hand Jim’s genuine concern for others, especially military veterans facing challenges as a result of their service to our country. Jim first develops a dialogue of trust and concern with the individual veteran to let them know they are important and they have a partner in finding gainful employment.
