Working with your team was easily the best and most successful partnership I've experienced in the staffing\recruiting world. I was constantly impressed and moved by your attention to professional needs and your ability to find me work, especially in the crazy economy of Covid-19.
DR - Executive Support
I appreciate your principles and how you have conducted yourself.

Forward Progress Staffing has truly done an outstanding job matching up my talents and skill set with the right job. I have been contracting for over 7 years and have had worked with dozens of Headhunters, IT Talent Recruiters, Contracting Agencies etc. Forward Progress’ services found me a permanent job which pays as much as my previous contract, which normally I would lose income by moving to a permanent position. He has analyzed my skill set and matched me up precisely with the job requiring my skill. This is rare since most other talent requisition representatives just do a keyword search online and just throw out offers for jobs that are not in the realm of what I do. This makes the Forward Progress Staffing services a cut above the rest. They know the IT environment and they work hard to bridge communications between a job seeker and an employer. Outstanding job Eric, my hat’s off to you. Thanks!
RW – Manager of Enterprise Systems
To be honest, this has been one of the most awesome experiences I've had at any Staffing Agency. In past situations, I was treated like a dollar amount and not a human being. However, when I was contacted by Michelle, she gave me confidence that she saw greatness in my resume and me as a person. Michelle was very personable and very welcoming. She didn't rush the conversation, but made it a very smooth interview process.
Eric was just as kind and informative as he was engaging. A lot of times when going through staffing agencies, you can be hit with a surprise question or come to find out there was more to the role than discussed; but not with Eric. He was very transparent and coached me to through the interview process. He also got to know me, the person, to ensure I was a fit for this role. I am glad to have gone through this process and glad to be a part of the Forward Progress Team.
VG - Sr. Desktop Support
I never expected the high level of service that he has offered. When working with recruiters and staffing agencies in the past, on both sides of the table, the expectations have been very low. Forward Progress and Eric offer high quality candidates but also ensure the candidate is a great fit for the organization. Understanding the needs of the open position as well as understanding the best qualities of their candidates, creates the highest probability of a mutually success employer/employee relationship. Eric has worked diligently to ensure that my employment needs are met with the utmost expediency and care.
MF - Sr Systems Engineer
I was contacted by Forward Progress for an EDI Analyst position a couple of months ago. I was very impressed with their service. They guided me every step of the way, and even after landing the job! Forward Progress is by far the best recruiting service I have used. I highly recommend it.
JM - Sr EDI Analyst
Forward Progress has many unique qualities as a recruiting company. They have excellent employer contacts and a keen ability to match candidate skills with appropriate opportunities. They prepared me for the immediate goal of finding employment and also coached me on how to be more marketable in the future. In addition, I appreciated how they continued to support me in my new position by providing me valuable feedback from my boss on my performance.

Abraham Lincoln’s Advice for These Challenging Times
My son is a huge Abraham Lincoln fan. So much so that he dressed up like Lincoln for Halloween when he was 10. An interesting choice considering most of his friends were dressed up as superheroes, villains or cartoon characters. Regardless, he donned the beard, black coat and stovepipe hat and set out to pillage
Spicoli doesn’t consult for free, why should you?
There’s an on-going debate over what to do when a prospective employer asks you to provide what could be deemed as “free consulting” during the interview process. That could manifest in a variety of ways from a simple, “How would you go about reaching this demographic?”; to the more complex “Please provide a detailed presentation
