testimonials

“Working with Mike and Quantum was an exceptional experience. His deep understanding of our needs and extensive talent network resulted in us hiring some truly outstanding talent for our team. If you're looking for the best in recruiting, Mike and Quantum are your go-to. I can't recommend them enough.”

“Chris and his firm have been game-changing for us: far and above the pack. He and his team deeply understand our business and vision, and work at warp speed to pair us with awesome people that match our technical and cultural needs. Having been along for the ride with several hyper-growth startups, Chris is also an invaluable strategic partner that helps us see around corners and preempt growing pains. 11/10 would recommend.”

“Chris and the Quantum team are absolutely world class. They've been invaluable partners from day 1, and helped us assemble an elite leadership team across Engineering, Marketing & Design. They're fun to work with, deliver exceptional results, and operate with next level hustle. If you're a startup founder, I highly recommend building your company with Quantum.”

“I worked with Chris and Quantum on a few strategic hires. Chris is a true partner & friend and I recommend him strongly for other CEOs who are looking for a different type of recruiter.Other than Chris’ values, the biggest differentiation I see in his work is that he doesn’t just find strategic hires - he creates them. Chris will go after your top ideal fit candidates and get them excited about your company and journey, and will line up candidates that otherwise aren’t in the market. For me that’s a unique skill. If you want to build an elite executive team, I highly recommend Quantum.”

“Chris has assembled a truly unique team relative to technology recruiting and has set a tone of drive and motivation that comes across in every interaction. Quantum's ability to spot great talent, keep a constant pipeline available, and also flex to the ebbs and flows of your own hiring are second to none. Highly recommend you give this team a chance to ‘show, not tell’ how all the little things that make them different can lead to your success in the talent domain!”

“If you need help hiring, I highly recommend Chris and the team at Quantum. One of the best agencies I've worked with in terms of integrating with your team, representing your brand, and sourcing/closing your ideal candidate. It only took two months for the team at Quantum to close out the two roles we had open, and both of these roles had been open for nearly six months before Quantum took over the search. We will absolutely be using them for our future hiring needs.”
