Word on the street

Nicole B, MA

I could not be more grateful for Lilian and her help that brought me into my new role. Being a mother, and wife, my career often took back seat to everyone else’s needs. I worked off and on through my career and had obtained many skills that were valuable. I searched for a job for a year and was often asked
why there were so many gaps. My proud response was “I am
a mother”.  

Lilian is a trailblazer!  Ready to change the game for women
like me. She dug in and learned of my skills and talents both professionally and personally.  Lilian not only made me see further into what I was capable of, she encouraged me to go
after roles I would not of imagined were right for me. She is a connector of people and I am so happy with my new job. 
Thank you Lilian Dutra, I hope to pay it forward one day.

Lilian has been an essential part FGB’s growth over the past 3 years. She consistently delivers top tier talent, meeting our wishes to select from a diversified group of candidates. As a female business owner, it’s important to me that women are being put forward for upper management roles in my company — and I look to Lilian for her expertise in identifying female talent alongside other candidates. Her shortlists always hit the mark.

I was especially expressed with two candidates who exceeded my expectations — one of which lead my sales organization for 2 years.

I worked as an executive search recruiter myself prior to starting my company and it’s one of the reasons I know Lilian is among the best in her field.

Should you like any further detail on my experience working with Lilian, please reach out.

Lilian is probably the most assertive talent recruitment agent I have ever met. She read through my resume, understood right away the type of technical professional I am, and found a perfect match for me with the best company I have worked with in 15 years of professional experience. She really took good care of the process, helped me negotiate, and stayed until my start day. She simply did an amazing job that brought so much happiness to my professional life.

I am starting a new business and was having a hard time staffing it in time for the opening.  Lilian went above and beyond to not only help me with staffing, but finding the best candidate for the position in a matter of days.  I would absolutely recommend Lilian's service as she's professional, efficient, reliable and very easy to work with.

Working with AEN Talent Search and Lilian is an absolute pleasure. She is exceedingly responsive and takes the time to really understand what we are looking for in a new hire. Over and over, she provides excellent candidates and is there with us, and the candidate, every step of the way. We look forward to continuing to work with her as we grow our business knowing that she’ll help us find the right level of expertise for whatever role we need to fill.

I wanted to take a moment to share my positive experience working with Lilian Dutra during the recent recruitment and selection process to a Board of Directors seat.

From our initial conversation, Lilian demonstrated an in-depth understanding of both the role and the technical and Business skills required, which made me feel confident that this opportunity aligned with my career aspirations. She took the time to thoroughly explain each step of the process, keeping me informed and prepared along the way. Her professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail were truly impressive.

One of the highlights of working with Lilian was her commitment to ensuring that I was comfortable with the next steps, whether it was preparing for interviews or addressing any concerns I had. She consistently provided valuable feedback and guidance, which helped me feel more confident throughout the process.

Overall, Lilian made what can often be a stressful experience feel smooth and positive. Her supportive approach, coupled with the passion for finding the right fit for myself and the company, has left me with a lasting positive impression.

Thank you for providing such an exceptional recruitment experience, and I am excited about the opportunity to potentially contribute to the innovative work being done as a part of the Tech company’s Board of Directors.
