"Our company has been working with SK for about 10 years. I'm happy to say that every person Mike Levine has found for us is still employed with us today. He has the uncanny ability of getting to know a company's culture inside and out before he makes any introductions. He respects all parties involved and knows fairly quickly if a candidate is a good fit or not. At times he will ask me to think out of the box if he really believes that a candidate could add value to our company. One of the most important things to know about SK is that Mike and Joe both have a high standard of ethics. I trust them implicitly."
