“I was not actively looking for a new position when Shelle approached me, but I was extremely unhappy with my current company. Shelle reached out to me based on my prior experience and skill set and presented a position at a company that I had dreamed of working at. She coached me before my interview, followed up right away, and was a cheerleader throughout the entire process. She took time to get to know me and reassured me that I should ask for more because I would be an asset to the company who was interviewing me. I was offered the position and started a few weeks later. Shelle kept following up to make sure I was happy and that it was a good fit for me. I am still in my position, happier than ever, and I owe it all to Shelle!”

“ My experience with Shelle and Retail Top Talent was well beyond the resume submissions I experienced with other recruiters. We spoke about my skill set and what I was looking for, then collaborated on target companies. Before the interviews, we spoke extensively about the interviewees, company culture and their needs. She also offered guidance on pay and benefits. All of this was done with the appropriate sense of urgency, without being overbearing. I would work with Shelle again and have recommended several colleagues to her. ”

“ I wasn’t in the market for a new job when Shelle called me. We talked over a year ago and the particular job she was working on was not a fit for me. But, she remembered me and called me back when she had the perfect job. It was my busiest time of year, but she was persistent and I called her back because of the relationaship we have. I can’t believe that I would have missed out on a great opportunity. I’m so glad I took the job. It’s my dream job and it never would have happened without Shelle. ”
