Damon will dig into our perceptions and see if those concerns and worries are justified, discuss how they affect labor and market trends, and share how Talent Acquisition professionals can add this information to their toolkit to best advise businesses on hiring strategies.

Ann B., Director of Sales

Kristen, I wanted to send you a quick thank you. I was listening in on the PHRMA webinar on “The Art & Science Behind an Accepted Offer” you just did with Scott and Kimi, and it was great! I learned many helpful tips that will be beneficial for our customers. Thank you, you did a great job!

Kim C., HR Manager

I wanted to take just a minute of your time to let you know how professional and pleasant your team here in Austin was when I worked with them on a potential opening.  Even though I did not get the job, I must commend Amy and her team on how they handled things. Unfortunately, being responsive and following up doesn’t always happen in today’s world, so I was pleasantly surprised by your team’s approach.  Wishing you a prosperous 2023!

Trent B., Recruiter

Even though I never interviewed or was placed by you all, you each helped me in my search to figure out my path. Plus, the webinar with Robin was very insightful and helpful for me. I clearly need to step up my LinkedIn game!

Haley, HR Coordinator

Thank you so much for taking the time to speak with me yesterday – it’s nice to feel like I have someone on my team! I appreciate the resume tips and the suggestions on how to get involved in PHRMA. I’m looking forward to connecting with you again soon!

Renee Q., HR & Administrative Director

I met Lauren through networking and she was a tremendous resource for me! First she helped get my resume organized in such a way that my skills and accomplishments really stood out and made it easier for recruiters to see me for who I am and what I have to offer. Then, and this was of the most benefit I think, she provided probably the most direct and honest feedback I’d received to set my expectations and get my career on track. Her experience and expertise showed from the beginning and her willingness to help me as an individual was truly a gift.

Cindy R., HR Generalist

I have worked with Lauren for the past three years. She is a consummate professional, and has been most helpful to me both with job placements and as a resource in my work. Lauren always responds to my inquiries and is clear and upfront with the information that she provides. I cannot state enough how valuable she has been to me and to my colleagues.

Liz H., Government

I just wanted to take a moment to thank Mulberry for their excellent service during a very stressful time. Our latest hire is a gem; we are lucky Mulberry found her. My experience established a trust not often seen these days – trust that they would really listen and deliver the best candidates as quickly as possible.

Melissa M., Manufacturing

Lauren and Mulberry have helped me fill four roles at this point, and I’ve been very happy with their targeted sourcing for my positions. She’s done a lot of work to understand my unique requirements and preferences and has helped place professionals in my organization who have added immediate value. Thanks, Lauren.

Robin K., Professional Services

It’s such a pleasure partnering with you and your team, Lauren! From our very first interaction, your dedication to the work you do and the candidates and clients you serve – and your passion – clearly shine through. Mulberry’s high-touch communication, devotion to everyone’s success, and highly personalized approach have set you apart in a crowded space. I appreciated having the opportunity to participate in your Mulberry Career Conversations webinar to share resume and LinkedIn profile tips. Such a positive experience all around! And, Kelsey was amazing throughout the process. Her communication and support were impeccable. I’m really grateful our paths have crossed.
