MindSpring Partners

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about MindSpring and Julie S. They were there to support me as I went through a big career change, and for that I am completely grateful.
In March, I applied for a listing that was posted by Julie S. Within 24 hours, I had interviewed and been offered the temp position for immediate start. The speed of the whole process made me feel uneasy, and Julie was there to ease my fears. She assured me that the company would not hire so quickly if they hadn’t felt that I would be a great fit. I trusted her and accepted the position.
Fast forward two months, and I’ve decided to apply for a full-​time permanent position with the company I was temping with. Julie S. was not only supportive of the decision, but provided resume feedback; acted as a liaison between myself and HR; and even called me one night at 8 pm to run through a practice interview! I’m so gracious for her help, and I know that I would have been a lot more nervous re-​entering the process if it weren’t for her guidance.
When I accepted the offer, she was the second person I told.
The best part is that I have a number of coworkers I have who rave about Julie S. and the professionals at MindSpring. There are at least a handful who got started their career through MindSpring, and when you ask them how they started, they don’t hesitate to compliment the team.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

The short of it: I had a fabulous experience with Mindspring Partners, but specifically with Eric M. I was blown away by his drive to genuinely help me find the perfect job– and not just fill another position in Chicago. Did he find me a fantastic position? Yes! Thank you, Eric!
The long of it: I had never worked with a recruiting company before, and once Eric started to pursue a new job for me, he didn’t stop until he found me a position I would love and excel in. He diligently called me, asked me questions, keep my head level and feet on the ground when I would freak out, and walk me through the interview process and performance. He was always professional, and wouldn’t hesitate to go the extra mile if I needed more time or help. The other team members at Mindspring were always kind and encouraging if I stopped over to the office to fill out paperwork or talk with Eric, I felt like they were all rooting for me, and when we did get a new position, everyone was super excited too! I’m so thankful to everyone at Mindspring, as it was a new, and ultimately, wonderful experience. Special thanks to Vito as well!
If you are looking to get hired, or are in need of a recruiter to find someone on your behalf, Mindspring Partners is your place to go.

Julie is wonderful and the reason for the star. She has consistently been looking for me. However, I must say I am not impressed with the interviews I have been on. I go in with an open mind, but nothing but rudeness from their clients. Vito has called me a few times to pitch a position, but after getting me hyped up about it, the job either ‘disappears’ or ‘wants experience’. Great agency, but has let me down quite a few times.

I wanted to like them. I actually had faith that this service might work out. LIsten if I don’t have the experience, just be straight with me. She played it up saying that I had more than most who came in and that I shouldn’t have a problem. She was familiar with the company I worked for and why I wanted to leave, I followed up accordingly and she connected me with whom I believe is a newer recruiter… she got me an interview — didn’t get the job, that’s fine. I thought everything was fine and got that impression from the person interviewing me. In fact there were a couple of implications that made it seem like I would be hired with how smoothly everything went and even what the interviewee was stating.
She never found out what happened… You would think she would to at least give me some feedback. Then she told me about another position that I would be great for — got worked up again but then said later that I need legal experience. WHY DID YOU TELL ME ABOUT IT?! I’m very frustrated at this point. I wanted to believe this was going to be a different recruiting experience but so far it’s just like everyone I’ve been to.

I worked with Mindspring Partners in May of 2011, and I have nothing but positive feedback for them. They worked diligently, specifically Molly, and found a great fit for my skill set and my career goals. Thanks so much for your efforts! Two thumbs up!

I’ve met with more than 15 employment agencies in Chicago, and not one has called me with more opportunities than MindSpring.
The company just spun off from its parent, Cortland Capital, and has a pleasantly aggressive team of seasoned recruiters who seem to find work that other employment agencies miss. Molly and Diane are absolute professionals; they exert the effort to see that you are put into a position to succeed.
Highly recommended. Whether looking for temp work or direct to hire opportunities, your search should start here.
