A Few LinkedIn Recommendations

Susan Levitt Director of Human Resources, Nikon Precision, Inc., BELMONT

During the many years that I worked at Nikon Precision, we were the wrong size to have a full-time, in-house recruiterbut for a number of years, Alison Wright performed those functions with exemplary dedication rarely seen in a contingency-fee

recruiter. Her network of contacts was enormous, her sourcing skills were legendary, and she was always available at a moments

notice to tackle both routine and emergency staffing needs. She has a unique ability to form lasting relationships with both the line-

hiring managers and with HR staff that is invaluable in identifying the right candidate for a job. She knows her contacts, on both a

professional and a personal level. Armed with that knowledge, she was able to cut through the barrage of resumes and passive

candidates to locate those who were not only eminently qualified but who would work well with the individual hiring manager and

his/her team; And on a side, but important, note: Alison is simply fun to work with. She has my highest recommendation... In

summary, it is hard to imagine a better set of talents for a recruiter than the ones Alison naturally possesses:

Dedication to filling positions with the best, possible candidatesMasterful networking skills & a strong relationship-builder

Ability to tap into the passive candidate pool

Sense of urgency in filling positions

Ability to read individuals

Corporate culture cues to ensure proper matchups

Scott Smith Consultant in Project Management | Proteomics, CONNECTICUTI had the pleasure of working with Alison Wright during extensive nationwide technical talent searches. I found her hard working,

energetic, astute, and genuine, a dedicated and focused professional who shows determination in doing a great job. Alison is action

oriented, producing results through proactive candidate sourcing and screening, doing the work it takes to identify talent rather

than just pass on marginal candidate. Her preparation and screening abilities are excellent which help create the win-win in the end

for all parties involved. She never wasted my time. These are some of the reasons why Alison is an effective and successful

recruiter and I give her my highest recommendation

Maria Huffman Director, Ink and Deposition at Sol Voltaics AB, SWEDENI have known Alison since the mid '90ies. She placed me with a Semiconductor Equipment Manufacturer in CA. The whole

experience was very positive and I found Alison a highly professional and competent recruiter. I remember well how helpful shewas from the first time we talked on the phone through my accepting the job and my move to CA from MD; No detail missed and I

could always count on her help and guidance. Alison is a vivacious and caring individual, attributes that help her be very good at

interfacing with people. She is dependable and detail oriented and follows through all the way from start to finish. I highly

recommend Alison and have always turned to her either for finding appropriate candidates or for personal advice throughout the

years.

Bill Lampe Plant Manager at Bluhomes, MARE ISLANDAlison is the most engaged recruiter I have ever met. She puts the companys interests first. Her results have been outstanding

because she takes the time to recruit from and for the job description provided and looks for the perfect fit to the role rather than

just getting somebody hired to fill a hole. One of the things that really stand out in my experience working with Alison at B lu has

to be her willingness to look beyond the norm to obtain a candidate that will fit in with the company culture and provide the

positive results required.

Bob Duke Senior Headhunter in Life Sciences, SAN FRANCISCOAlison is definitely one of the best recruiters in the business...on a scale of 1 to 10 she is a 10 Plus.... she will always focus, tackle

and complete her search projects successfully ...working with her is always a treat!
