I contacted Vanrath after being laid off by my previous employer and had the pleasure of speaking with Jordan Burns. Jordan was fantastic to deal with. He found me the perfect role that matched my skill set and experience and within a day or two had an interview lined up. Within the same week I was made a job offer which I happily accepted.
