Candidate Testimonials – Engineering

Equally as important to the Client Search Process is the “Candidate Process”. Candidates represented by NLC Recruiting are given the utmost respect and courtesy. Here’s what some of our candidates say about their experience.

 

I have nothing but good things to say about Nancy. She is professional, determined, personable, and motivating. She listened to all my requirements for a new job, encouraged me to apply, and found a perfect-fitting position for me. It was all very fast and efficient. She is truly a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Nancy for any civil engineers that are looking to make a change in their career.

David Lozenko, Senior Civil Designer, CF Crozier

 

Nancy was very thorough and professional in her recruitment. I was not actively looking for new opportunities at the time, but after speaking with Nancy at NLC Recruiting, I decided to meet with a potential new employer and am glad I did, as I am now in a new position. It was a career advancement situation that I would not have benefited from if it wasn’t for Nancy’s hard work and dedication.

Carey Wrzosek, Senior Project Manager, RJ Burnside - Calgary

In the GTA, it is not too hard to find a head-hunter.  But if you want to find one with a good knowledge in engineering consulting business; or with a strong initiative in finding opportunities, or with a great attitude in helping people – Nancy Chapman from NLC Recruiting and Consulting is the one!

Chaodong Shen, Storm Water Engineer; Cole Engineering

Nancy, you are a thoroughly professional and dedicated individual – your expertise and negotiating skills have helped me tremendously in seeking employment and you are one of the best consultants in your field that I have had the pleasure of dealing with. I just wanted to say a BIG thank you for the hard work & effort that you put in to help me find the absolute perfect opportunity and I have no concerns in promoting your services to my colleagues and other professional people in need of work but also to employers as your level of service and consideration is second to none.

Leila Zavareh, Project Engineer, Cole Engineering

I have known Nancy Chapman for many years. She successfully placed me at my current engineering job, where I happily accepted an offer and am currently employed. Based on my experience, I would highly recommend utilizing her expertise and services in matching prospective candidates to suitable roles. I found Nancy to possess exemplary communication and organization skills throughout the interview and offer process. In my years of experience, some people stand out for their great qualities and Nancy is one of those people. Due to her dedication, diligence and positive attitude, I would not hesitate to recommend Nancy and NLC Recruiting.

Ary Rezvanifar, Project Manager, Cole Engineering

After receiving a lot of calls and emails from different recruiters with different available positions, Nancy’s approach immediately grabbed my attention and I was not disappointed. She is very knowledgeable about the engineering industry and connected me with a career opportunity which was mutually suitable for both me and the company. Nancy’s professional behaviour and dedication to her work has gained her the reputation and trust of many companies and therefore she is able to commence and keep the recruitment process going at a fast rate. She’s very understanding throughout the whole process and keeps all parties informed of any updates by the hour if needed to ensure that one does not get frustrated by lack of contact after an initial interview, up until a job offer. It has been a great pleasure for me to meet Nancy and I would highly recommend her to experienced professional looking to explore other opportunities.

Pouya Haghshenas, Design Engineer, Cole Engineering

 

My recent experience of working with NLC Recruiting was exceptional. When Nancy first approached me about an opportunity with Cole Engineering, I was not looking to switch from my position with the current employer. However, after she presented the opportunity which was a great match with my skill-sets and career goals, I couldn’t keep myself from exploring it. Nancy was very knowledgeable about her client as well as very enthusiastic. As things progressed she worked very hard to keep up communications between myself and my prospective employer and always made herself available whenever I needed to speak to her. No questions went unanswered during the entire process from the initial contact through to successfully placing me in the Project Manager role with Cole Engineering. Nancy’s contribution, support and patience through all stages of the recruiting process was invaluable. Once again, thank you Nancy for introducing this excellent opportunity to me. I am very excited to join my new company and the opportunity that is in front of me. It is without hesitation that I’d recommend NLC Recruiting to others.

Mani Seradj, Project Manager, Cole Engineering

When focused on a career change, my initial thinking was that a big organization would be the right move in order to reach my technical dreams.  NLC Recruiting introduced me to Counterpoint Engineering and it is clearly the best company for me! Before meeting with NLC Recruiting I was unaware of the opportunity or company, so thank you Nancy for introducing me to Counterpoint’s super engineering team! To describe Nancy: she is very smart, honest, super professional, and someone you can call a friend. Her positive energy helps inspire people to follow their dreams.

Reza Kazemi, Stormwater Engineer, Counterpoint Engineering

Working with Nancy has been an amazing and life changing experience. When Nancy called me, I was not looking for a new opportunity and approached the call with a dismissive attitude. However, Nancy’s knowledge, experience, and the passion with which she discussed the new opportunity with Cole Engineering changed my thinking completely. I was very impressed by the way she presented the opportunity as not only an upgrade career-wise, but also as an upgrade in work-life balance due to the culture at Cole. During the interview process, she was in contact every step of the way, making herself available at any time that suited my schedule. When I was extended and accepted the offer with Cole, Nancy was sure to assist me in my resignation with sound guidance and advice on what is always a difficult day. I am extremely pleased that we were able to work together, and grateful to Nancy for helping me find my new career home at a great company like Cole Engineering!

Jamshaid Muzaffar, Project Manager, Cole Engineering

Working with Nancy was truly a pleasure. Like many others, I was not looking for a new opportunity when she called but I was open to possibilities.  Making a decision to pursue a new career opportunity can be challenging when you don’t want your departure  to leave your current clients and team members in an awkward situation.  That being said, great career opportunities don’t come along every day so when such an opportunity comes up it needs to be looked at seriously.  Nancy was more than patient and understanding with the time I needed to take to ensure that I left my position in the most effective way for both the organization I was leaving and the clients.  I felt no pressure to move faster than I could and, Nancy was there to be the sounding board I needed to help me make the decision I knew I had to make to take my career to the next level. I’m now in a great role at a great organization with the opportunity to successfully build on my own career and the company as a whole.

Rob Brandrick, Branch Manager, Calgary, RJ Burnside

I was recruited by Nancy from a job that I loved at a company I’d been with for 19 years.  I received calls from recruiters fairly regularly at my job, but something about Nancy made me return her call.  I’m so glad that I did!  My entire experience was incredibly positive.  Nancy presented an opportunity to me that I couldn’t resist exploring.  She was consummately professional throughout the process, but more importantly to me, she was respectful of the process I needed to go through in considering a career move that I had not gone looking for.  I felt she considered my interests along with my prospective new employer’s, so that in the end, it felt like the move was the right fit for both.  Nancy was an absolute pleasure to work with and I’d recommend anyone who gets a call from Nancy to answer it!  I’m excited to start a new chapter in my career with SNC – Thanks Nancy!

Helen Reeve, Director, Engergy Management - Integrated Real Estate Solutions, SNC Lavalin

Nancy was a pleasure to deal with throughout my recent career move. She is efficient, communicative and engaging. From the beginning, she listened to what I had to say and what I was looking for, read and understood my resume, and made an intelligent recommendation for what she thought would make a good pairing. As it turns out, she was spot on and I landed an excellent position with an outstanding employer! I can’t thank you enough Nancy!

Sergio Longo, Electrical Engineer, RJ Burnside

Nancy’s professionalism, process engagement and responsiveness allowed me to make the right choice for my career. She recognized that I was at a critical inflection point in my career and her expertise aided in alleviating any apprehensiveness that one might feel throughout the recruitment process. Her attention to detail addressed my needs and the needs of the organization to ensure that I was an ideal fit. I highly recommend Nancy for future recruitment needs.

Richard Moura, Business Development Manager, Rail, SNC Lavalin O&M

Nancy was fantastic to work with. She listened to my career goals and provided the appropriate opportunities. Communication and responses were always prompt. I highly recommend Nancy’s services.

Derrick Canete, Land Development Engineer, Geranium Corporation

I would like to unconditionally recommend Nancy Chapman for any recruiting assignment you may be considering. I believe I can offer a somewhat unique perspective as to Nancy’s qualities in this role.

Highly professional;
Very informative and communicative;
Helpful in terms of interview preparation;
Concise and Direct; Very quick responding to questions and in supplying and information I asked for;
Gave me the impression that she was someone I could trust.

John McArthur, President Bilfinger Berger Bot

I personally admired Nancy’s working style and would recommend NLC Recruiting and Consulting to any candidate or potential employer.”

Bilal Sherazi, Engineer, RJ Burnside

As a new graduate the decision on where to begin my professional career was an intimidating prospect. Nancy Chapman’s professionalism, experience and sincerity were a great asset to me as I was navigating this complex situation. With Nancy’s help I was able to find an ideal company where I am challenged to grow and learn on a daily basis. Thank you Nancy!

Bill Terry, Counterpoint Engineering

Nancy was really friendly and great to work with throughout the entire process, from pre- to post-interview. Though I wasn’t looking for change, Nancy presented the job and company accurately and allowed me time to think about it without any pressure. That gave me the opportunity to truly examine my interest in the position, and make a clearheaded decision. I decided to take the job and haven’t looked back since. NLC Recruiting is set apart from the pack by truly giving a candidate some space to digest the information and make a decision they are happy with.

Tamar Nalbandian, Electrical Engineer, RJ Burnside

Nancy is very professional, personable, responsive and committed. This was my first experience with a recruiter, and while I was somewhat apprehensive initally, Nancy made the process very easy. Nancy was available and provided insight into each step of the process, and was understanding of my requirements to come to an informed decision. There were a number of unique circumstances following my acceptance of an offer, and Nancy maintained her presence and helpfulness throughout. I would highly recommend Nancy and NLC Recruiting to any potential candidates.

David Eyles, Business Development Manager, SNC Lavalin O&M

Nancy really understood my needs and was able to match them with her clients needs. My experience with Nancy was very positive and I am happy that I used NLC Recruiting to help me get my career started.

From the first phone call from Nancy Chapman at NLC Recruiting and Consulting Inc., I’ve been treated with nothing but a professional and positive attitude. It’s been more than a pleasure to work with Nancy as she is approachable, and positive.

I’ve dealt with other recruiters in this economical low, and I couldn’t see myself landing a better position that I have with Nancy’s communication and great relationships with her clients. I would choose NLC Recruiting and Consulting Inc. over any other agency any day!

Thanks Nancy!

Michael Thivierge, Project Engineer, David McManus/Trow

Working with Nancy Chapman at NLC Recruiting and Consulting Inc. was a very positive experience. If it wasn’t, I wouldn’t have mentioned her to my old colleagues. All the best to you Nancy!

Victor Szeghalmi, CAD Design Technician, SCS Consulting Group Ltd.

I would like to thank Nancy for setting me up with my first full time job and helping me start up my professional career. As a new grad from university, I didn’t know what to expect for my first employer. Nancy took the time to discuss my career options and presented me with various job opportunities from different companies. She even guided me through the entire job hunting process, preparing me for interviews and making follow-up arrangements with the employers. I would highly recommend Nancy to anyone who is looking to start a new career or just a change in position.

Again Nancy, I am very grateful for your help and guidance.

Peter Chen, EIT, Valdor Engineering Inc.

I was approached by NLC Recruiting and Consulting Inc. with an invitation to consider a position for which, in her opinion, I qualified ideally. At the time I was doing shift-work on a remote project in Saskatchewan. I liked the job but I was looking, even though not very actively, for a job in Ottawa. Nancy was very persistent, professional and patient during the hiring process. I have gladly recommended her services to two of my family members.

Andrei Komarov, Laboratory and Field Manager, Houle Chevrier Engineering Ltd.

Working with Nancy and NLC Recruiting and Consulting Inc. simplified my job search. She ensured I was well prepared and informed during each step of the process. I believe I will be extremely happy in my new position. Thank you for helping me take the next step in my career.

Today is my last day at my current employer, and I am looking forward to my new job at SCS Consulting. I really appreciate your positive, can-do attitude. Thank you very much for making it possible. Also, thanks for the Star-bucks Card!
