Testimonials

“Over the years, I have worked with a number of recruiters for various positions ranging from technical field staff to upper-level management.  My experience using Matt Nichols and Kelley Ruthstrom at E3 Recruiting has been different in a very positive way.  They truly listen to their client’s hiring needs, work to understand their clients and the company culture to ensure the best match possible.  There are many talented people who can meet job requirements but finding the one who excels in a particular environment is the real trick.”

“Today’s challenging hunt for great employees increasingly makes it difficult to find the top talent out in the marketplace.  At our company that challenge exists in the 32 marketplaces we do business in. This past year we have been able to improve our hiring by partnering E3.  Their ability to listen, source, and present multiple candidates for each opportunity we give them has been instrumental in assisting us with growing our teams…We are glad that we partnered with E3.”

“It is my pleasure to recommend the recruiting services of E3 Recruiting. Based on a referral from a trusted network contact I recently engaged E3 to work on a field sales position for our company. I was impressed at Kelley’s thoroughness in confirming the candidates’ key competencies, characteristics, and cultural fit for our position. Kelley quickly vetted and presented a slate of qualified candidates. What I especially appreciated about Kelley was her responsiveness to schedule interviews and solicit interview feedback. Her response time to a call or e-mail was typically within the hour – even on weekends. If you are looking for a recruiting partner I highly recommend reaching out to E3.”

“E3 is always easy to work with. Matt and his team make sure to spend the right amount of time upfront to truly understand the company and its current needs. This makes life much easier when it’s time to interview, there is no time wasted. Every candidate had always been on point and capable of doing the job, it has always come down to details for alignment with our company culture. Looking forward to working again with the team on our next project.”

“Matt Nichols and the team at E3 are not only a top-tier recruiting services firm, they have served me in also extending their depth of understanding and knowledge in providing professional advice to me as an entrepreneur, senior manager, and client. They address the underlying needs of a company to provide for its future success. I look forward to future engagements with Matt and the E3 team.”

“Matt is hands-down, one of the best recruiters in the business. In the past 12 months alone, Matt and his team have collaboratively filled more than 20 of the toughest national positions and remarkably within 30 days from search assignment to placement. It is evident that both Matt and E3 operate at the highest level of Expertise, Efficiency & Ethics in Recruiting. The approach Matt and his team take in understanding our business and successfully profiling candidates are equally collaborative and innovative. The candidate and organizational experiences are positive and the results speak for themselves. Whether you are like me and have tough positions to fill or simply seek assistance in finding highly qualified candidates, I recommend you partner with Matt and/or E3 to achieve the highest level of success.”

“I had an opportunity to work with Matt Nichols on a recruiting partnership venture with my organization. I was very pleased with the level of service he provided and professionalism he exhibited. I appreciated the personal attention he gave to our recruiting needs and was very pleased with his open and direct communication style. I can comfortably recommend Matt Nichols as a trusted colleague and do not hesitate to recommend him as an excellent recruiting partner.”

“Recently, we were searching for a very specific profile for a leadership role within my company and after having used a couple of other recruiting firms with no success, I retained E3.  Matt’s firm quickly found several excellent local candidates, none of whom I had seen before.  When I interviewed the top candidates, they knew far more about my business than any candidates I had interviewed prior, and we were able to have substantive and meaningful first interviews.  Utilizing Matt’s team, we were able to place a new CFO within two months of engaging E3’s recruiting services.  It is no exaggeration to say that hiring E3 Recruiting was an extremely positive experience!”

“Matt is extremely knowledgeable and always a pleasure to work with. He is a motivated individual who is looking to do the best work possible. Our company will continue to do business with Matt and E3 Recruiting!”

“Matt was instrumental in helping me secure a brand new career in Minneapolis. Matt is the consummate professional, working with me throughout the recruiting and interviewing process. I would not hesitate to recommend E3 Recruiting and Matt.”
