I had been an unemployed CPA for a few months earlier this year and looking for a good quality accounting job located in the Lehigh Valley - Pennsylvania area. I responded by submitting my resume to all the appropriate classified job ads in The Morning Call newspaper, I often searched several nearby company websites, I posted my resume on Career Builder, Monster, and Yahoo!'s Hot Jobs, and I even had other popular accounting recruiting agencies assisting me with my job search. I went on plenty of first and second round job interviews, and I was often considered one of the top-rated candidates for numerous available accounting positions. However, I did not receive any job offers until Hobbie Professional Staff Management, located my resume on one of the major job recruiting websites and stepped up to help me when I needed it the most.

In a few short weeks, I was scheduled to take a comprehensive computer based accounting exam at the Allentown, PA Hobbie Professional Staff Management office. The exam's results rated my skills and abilities at 83% higher than all other exam applicants. Hobbie Professional then forwarded my exam scores to the Controller of a fast growing, privately held company who was very impressed with my scores and previous matching work experience. Hobbie then scheduled a job interview for an Assistant Controller position with the company's Controller and Vice President of Administration. I was considered one of the top three candidates that this company was interviewing for the position. The next day after my second round interview with this growing company, Hobbie Professional called to congratulate me on receiving a job offer for this prestigious Assistant Controller position. I was excited to receive both a substantial salary increase and a long awaited promotion in my extensive accounting career. I am very grateful and thankful for all that Hobbie Professional Staff Management has done to make my recent local job search a COMPLETE SUCCESS!

I have had the recent pleasure of working with Hobbie Professional Staff Management to secure employment through a leading pharmaceutical company here in West Point. Hobbie Professional has displayed awesome professionalism that should be noted. I feel that they went above and beyond the call of duty to get me into the company as a contractor and negotiate the highest dollar amount feasible for the position. They are very pleasant to work with, and if any problems arose, they had an immediate resolution. Again, they are very dedicated, hard working, and committed to what they do. Just from my short experience with Hobbie Professional I will highly recommend anyone to seek employment through you.

I worked as a contractor for 3 months here before having the opportunity to go full-time. I would like to extend a big thank you to Hobbie Professional for making it happen for me.

Hobbie Professional Staff Management contacted me at a transitional time in my career. When I was looking to apply my experience to the pharmaceutical sector, they clearly had relationships there allowing an introduction and subsequent contractual work. Hobbie Professional's director, Sherri Wertz, knows that territory and what pharmaceutical clients are looking for.

After securing contractual work, Hobbie Professional's staff does not stop there. They follow up to make sure the contract employee is doing well, comfortable, and pleased with the work. They always respond to questions promptly and with a good attitude. Following through with a client-employee relationship is important to them.

I wholeheartedly recommend Hobbie Professional Staff Management to professionals.
