She is encouraging and keeps you updated and informed during a stressful job search process especially during a pandemic.

She is skilled at matching the best experience to the right job opportunity. I have no hesitation in recommending Helene to anyone looking for a job or to any organization looking to find a perfect candidate to fill a position!!

— Elizabeth, Associate Director, IT Vendor Service Delivery & Management

“As a young professional entering the workforce, Helene is a great resource to have in your corner. Navigating the corporate hierarchy can be tricky and it is reassuring knowing you have someone with Helene’s skill set to guide you.

Helene worked to place me at my employer and also helped to negotiate my raises when the time was right. I eventually was hired permanently by said employer, and it goes to show the trust that they hold in Helene’s recommendations.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Helene to anyone within my network who is looking to broaden and enhance their career.”

— Antoinette, Lead engineer global escalated support

“I highly recommend Helene Ruggieri as a technical recruiter. I’ve worked with Helene and her team for many years. She consistently finds talented candidates for our open positions. She takes care to understand all aspects of the position we are recruiting for as well as the firm’s culture and work environment. She presents candidates only after careful vetting to ensure that only viable matches are presented for interview. Success speaks for itself; most of my successful candidates have come to us through Helene.”

— Rita, Director of Legal Informations Management 

“I’ve been in technical support since 2012 –first as a contractor out of school from 2012 to 2014. I must say that out of all the agencies that I’ve worked with, Q-Search Partners has been the best by far. Despite the hard work, their recruiters are willing to work with you. They’re there for you. 

In comparison to other agencies, I’ve had more of a long term and genuine relationship with Q-Search. Helene Ruggieri truly runs a company that cares about its employees.

Helene demonstrated many times her interest in helping me attain permanent employment. Without her, I don’t think I could have ever made it this far in my career. I am very happily employed- initially as a contractor thru Q-Search, who a year ago was converted to a great permanent position in a great firm!

I would certainly recommend Q-Search Partners to anyone looking for employment and taking the next steps in the professional world.”

— Jon, Senior Help Desk Analyst, Major Global Law Firm

“Helene is a top-notch technical recruiter. I have worked with Helene for many years because she's forthright, honest, and gets the job done positively and professionally. If you are looking to fill a key technical position, I highly recommend Helene!”

— Pat, Senior Director Of Administration, Major Nyc University

“I could not have asked for a better person to find my resume after posting on it on job boards. Helene took one look at my resume and knew she had a perfect fit for me. After one phone call, I drove to NYC and met with Helene in person. She prepped me for my interview and the rest is history. I couldn't be happier with where I ended up and it is all thanks to her. Not only did I find a great job but I also gained a great friend in her.”

— Stephen, Senior System Engineer, CISSP

“I first met Helene when I was a senior in college looking to break into the IT workforce. Helene and I went back and forth for several positions in New York City, but in the end, I decided to take a role at a company in New Jersey. Over the next three years, Helene would check in regularly with me to see how things were going for me. She was not calling to convince me to leave my current role, rather she was connecting on a personal level and seeing if I needed any guidance and mentoring me during my career growth. 

One summer afternoon, Helene called me informing me she was working to fill a team lead at a top law firm in midtown. This was not like the other jobs Helene would mention during our check-in calls. This time, she was adamant that I set up a job interview. Through our conversations, Helene knew exactly what I was looking for and that this role was a step in the right direction for my career. 

The rest is history as I have experienced an immense level of professional growth and success in this role. I routinely refer friends to Helene as I know she will always work to make sure the client is happy, even if it means passing them for a role she can easily fill.”

— Joseph, Principal Virtualization Architect, CMD Group

“Helene places amazing people, period. In addition to a candidate's experience, she also knows it is as (or more) important that personality fits the dynamics of an organization. She is no nonsense and is focused on how people can grow and add value to a company. I have known Helene for over fifteen years and she is someone you can trust and gain insight from. I recommend Helene.”

— Rene, Director of Information Technology

“Helene is the best recruiter I have ever worked with. She helped me find a great opportunity. I was very impressed by her understanding of the job requirements, and she spent hours with me, in both phone conversations and face to face meetings, to understand my background and career goals, and elaborating on the job role and the company. Furthermore, she kept me updated with statuses, feedback, and future steps. Never once I had to reach out to her for updates. I would certainly leverage her for further staffing needs.”

— Ning, Senior Manager Information Security Operations

“Helene possesses a unique ability when it comes to working with job applicants. While working with me, she always maintained a professional and respectful manner; she possesses vast knowledge in the recruiting industry. 

What separates her from other recruiters is her ability to provide exceptional guidance that most other recruiters wouldn’t supply. Even after I managed to get my job, she had still followed up on my well-being, rather than just moving onto her next client. I am so glad that Helene had discovered the amazing opportunity that suited my needs!”

— Eric, Web Development Manager
