“Hey Chris!
Thank you very much – I will recommend you for sure if any of my friends are looking for a change. You guys changed my perception of recruiters; I felt so much support and your advice was so on point. I was more prepared than if I had applied on my own. You, Raph and Robert have my eternal respect for the outstanding quality of your work.”

“I would like to say thank you to Julia and Jibran for the great opportunity that they gave me. As a newcomer to Canada, I wasn’t expecting to get the same job that I have before in my home country. I am unfamiliar with the recruiting process here, and I always hear that we need ‘Canadian Experience’ even if it means taking a job not related to your previous occupation or education. But with the guidance and help of awesome recruiters like Julia and Jibran, I was able to get a job well suited to my qualifications and more than expected compensation. I am very grateful to both of them, and I hope that they can help more newcomers like me to have a great job in Canada and start a new chapter in their lives.”

“I would like to take this chance to thank Jay & Vinny for their great support in helping me nail down my new job. It was such a great experience for me to work with them as an alliance during this “fight”. Their dedication and professionalism in this battle has won me first place in the competition!
Thank you very much!!

“GuruLink did a great job helping me land my current job. They guided me through every step of the process. I like how they took their time to explain role, company, and what the client was looking for. They prepped me for each stage of the interview process and checked in after each interview. They relayed feedback from the client and made suggestions on how to approach the next interview. This culminated in a job offer from a wonderful company in a great location. Thanks GuruLink for your help!”

It was a pleasure working with you guys and honestly if it weren’t for you guys I might be slaving away in a cubicle at my previous role right now”

“I would like to thank Gavin very much for finding me the perfect job! You carefully listened to what I was looking for and provided me with fantastic advice which helped with my success during the interview process. I have never had such intensive cooperation with a recruitment agency before, but you did a great job and I made an absolutely great choice.”

“Having applied to many jobs individually and feeling like I was getting lost in a pile of resumes, GuruLink did the legwork of presenting my skills and experience to the employer for me and helped get me the IT job that I’ve always wanted. They have educated me on the company, prepared me for who I’d be interviewing with, what questions might be asked. They gave me the confidence I needed to go in and rock the interviews, and now the job. In a booming IT job market that can be hard to find valuable and interesting work, GuruLink found the job that’s right for me, at the salary that I wanted.”

“I connected with Marshall while I was still living in Japan. When everyone else told me to apply when I moved back to Canada, Marshall got me the interview that eventually landed me an awesome position. He gave me constructive advice and feedback throughout the entire process and truly made my job search painless. Definitely the most positive experience I’ve ever had with a recruiter.”

“While most recruiters only focus on your most recent job, without going the extra mile, GuruLink was instrumental in helping me find a job that perfectly matched my prior experience and career aspirations. Alex was always on hand to discuss the details that were vital in preparing for the interviews, as well as outlining the expectations at each stage of the interviewing process. I would highly recommend Gurulink, as they excel at matching job seekers with the right opportunities.”

“Michael, Brad and the rest of the GuruLink team helped me throughout the hiring processes to land the job that I wanted. GuruLink stands out by offering transparent communication and encourages constant feedback which helped me shine in my interviews as I had a lot more confidence knowing exactly what to expect. They are constantly accessible, very professional and friendly. The team at GuruLink are really experts in understanding what your skills and strengths are and how to find a position for you to best leverage them. I had a great experience working with the team at GuruLink and I would highly recommend them to anyone.”

Nick and Brad reached me right after I applied online for an open position in a company in Toronto while I was in Montreal. When we realized that the position might not exactly match my skills GuruLink did their best to find the best position matching my skills in the same company, so I got the phone interview and then first and second interview at the same day. The did an amazing job in discussing my salary and benefits and I got a very good offer from the employer. I am very impressed by the precise and helpful information that they provide before interviews which I haven’t had the same with other recruitment agencies. Amazing job about following my case and helping me through the necessary steps for my relocation and also helping me in an honest way about making the best decision are things that in my opinion make them stand out from other agencies.”

“GuruLink really stands out from the other recruiters with some of the top qualities:
1. Detailed research. GuruLink found my profile on LinkedIn first but then ventured out to other job hunting sites to find my resume to know my background better before they contacted me.
2. Transparent approach. Gavin made sure that all communication, including the scheduling of the interviews with the potential employer, the salary expectation etc. are up front, so I always knew what’s going on and what to expect in the next step.
3. Preparation assistance. GuruLink not only provided the tips for interviews but also the key interviewers’ bio so I could prepare much better in advance, with more confidence going to the interviews.
4. Constant feedback. Gavin gave me the prep talk before interviews and provided feedback from the employer on how the previous interview went. Also after each interview I would call Gavin to provide my initial feedback on the interview itself and he would comment on things that I was not so sure about myself.
5. Good relationship with the employer. Apparently GuruLink has great and trusting relationship with the employer, which makes it much easy for their candidates to get noticed and the scheduling of interviews is seamless.
6. Team work. Overall I felt that the entire process was a team effort.. Even though I was the person going to the interviews, I felt I had a strong support team behind me and Gavin being the chief cheerleader.
As result, I will recommend GuruLink in a heart beat to any professional who is looking for a job in the market.”

“Marshall reached out to me when I was looking for a change. After a quick chat with him on what I was looking for. Marshall and Brad were able to connect me with three exciting opportunities just in couple days and interviews followed next day. They also provided valuable help for both interview follow-ups and negotiations. I am able to land the job I am really excited about just in couple weeks! I want to Thank them personally for being awesome and supportive. They are the definition of the top-notch technical recruiters!”
Paul

“Marshall is a great recruiter and would recommend him to anyone searching for a job. Working with him, right away it felt like working together with a friend instead of being a client or a job. He kept me well informed of what was going on at every step and even sent a good luck before job interview. Again, totally would recommend him.”

“I’m thrilled that Jordan reached out to me! GuruLink connected me quickly to job opportunities that met my needs and abilities. Jordan and Brad then guided me through the interview process and helped to organize each step. They took care of much of the communication with potential employers, including the negotiation process, and kept me constantly informed of their progress. They were friendly as well as professional and I’m very happy about the end result of their work — namely, my new job!”

“Vinny and Brad have been one of the most hard working recruiters I know. They helped me get a position in two weeks, and followed up with me and the employer diligently around the clock, well past office hours. Their dedication and enthusiasm to helping their clients makes them incredible people.”
I mean every word written here 😀
Again, Thanks for helping me find an employer, and I will definitely come back in the future should I ever require your services again!”

“Working with Jibran and Alex has been an amazing experience. From the initial conversations with Alex, I knew that I was in good hands. Not only did Alex ask about my previous experience, he also asked me about my personal ambitions and career path. From there he was able to find the perfect opportunity along with Jibran. After hearing Jibran speak about the company and the role, I was super excited, and ready to take on the new challenge. Once the interview process started, Jibran and Alex were there at every stage, providing both preparation before, and debriefings after interviews. Best of all, having Jibran negotiate salary, allowed me to have a significantly higher offer, than I had expected. Truly, Jibran’s quote of “Find a job that you love, and you’ll never have to work a day in your life” stands true with my new opportunity. Everyone I had met with jived with my own work style and I look forward to working with them. I recommend Alex, Jibran and the GuruLink team for anyone in the market for a change in career. You won’t be disappointed.”

“Gavin from Gurulink contacted me about a QA position. During the initial phone conversation, it didn’t feel like I was talking to Gavin for the first time. He was very professional and easy going, and the conversation flowed with ease. He got to know me and what I’m looking for. Once I was selected for the initial interview, Gavin personally contacted to me let me know about the timing of the interview, gave me tips on how to approach the interview and what to prepare for. He even followed-up a day before the interview which no other recruiter does and was helpful during all rounds of the interview process. Definitely one of the best recruiters I’ve worked with, and will recommend. Keep up the good work Gavin. “

“Taylor and Gavin are the greatest recruiters I have ever met. They are very detail oriented and handy on support whenever you have any question. I am very thankful that they provided me with the interview preparation guide and the Top 64 interview Q&As prior to my upcoming interview so that I can get myself fully digested all the possible questions and the best answer for them. They also follow up very closely with me and with very friendly manner on every interview scheduling, even during the Christmas period of time; Providing links to job description, person to meet, their backgrounds and questions maybe asked.. I could, therefore, be well prepared on interview in the coming day. They did a great job on helping me landing my dream job, I will definitely suggest them for any others who are purchasing their dream career.”

“I just wanted to extend thanks once again to your staff. I was approached by Helenja via LinkedIn and the timing was just right. At the time of first contact, I was in the job market for almost 9 months, passively and actively looking for a new position. Her assistance came right as I began searching for full time work. I appreciated being told of relevant positions that matched my skill set, something that is seriously lacking with conventional job search methods, as well as being put in contact with other GuruLink recruiters that were responsible for a client. I also appreciated being kept in the loop with regards to the status of my applications. I would like to acknowledge the great work Gavin did with regards to my application that was ultimately successful. The personal touch he brought to working on my application and vouching for the client likely made the difference in finally being given an offer. I am almost three weeks into my new position and so far things are working out well. Thank you all once again. I will definitely keep your services in mind for the future, although I hope this won’t be necessary anytime soon!”

“Working with Jibran was a great experience. He contacted me for a new job in Toronto that fit exactly with my needs. After my successful interviews, Jibran took care of the negotiation process and quickly answered all my requests and questions, even during the weekend. Being from Montreal, he offered me his help and support to find an apartment in Toronto, buying a car and meeting up with me to provide his help. He also asked me to call him anytime I needed help. I have received excellent service from Jibran, as he took the time to get to know me. I would like to extend a big thank you to Jibran and to GuruLink team for this great experience. They have my strong recommendation.”

“Gurulink is the best agency I’ve ever worked with! These guys are awesome! Brad and Jibran supported me throughout the whole process professionally and provided me with all the necessary information about the role, job and company. They are so responsive and thoughtful about their clients and do their best to make both employers and candidates happy.
Gurulink’s online process tracking system is excellent. It allows you to track your status at every stage of the hiring process. It is very helpful and makes you feel confident about your process.
I would definitely recommend Gurulink to my friends, who are both searching for a new job and running a company.”

They guided me each step of the way and provided spectacular assistance. I highly recommend Gurulink, it is different from many other agencies I have been through and you can tell by their service that they truly value their clients!”

“I wanted to take this opportunity to thank GuruLink and Gavin for your help throughout this entire process. I had a few “not so good” experiences working with recruiters in the past but you really set the bar high. From checking with clients about the possibility to work from home in our first contact until the final negotiations with the client, your help was really important. I will definitely recommend GuruLink if any of my friends need help finding a good career opportunity.”

“Working with GuruLink has been an amazing experience. Brad and Nick are so professional, always respond to email, calls, etc. they are so approachable, and humble. They really work very hard taking their time to explain what is needed. I went to my interview feeling very confident because of Brad and Nick, thanks GuruLink. Will I recommend them? Absolutely!!! You will not regret it. They are the best! Thanks Brad/Nick/GuruLink!”

“Working with GuruLink had always been a pleasure. Most other recruiting firms I worked with seem to be playing a numbers game. When there’s a job opening, they try to find as many candidate as they can, while spending as little time as possible and hope one will work out. You likely will never hear from them again if things don’t happen. That’s not how GuruLink works, however. Folks in GuruLink are willing to spend time getting to know you. They know my personal interest, skill sets and career goals, and tried their best finding me the most suitable job instead of the other way around. They won’t give up on you just because one opportunity doesn’t work out. For myself, although I am confident in my technical skills, many of them didn’t happen because as a young professional fairly green to the job market, I often failed to present myself. My account manager from GuruLink also gave me great advice on that. As a result, I landed a dream job as a technical consultant in one of the top tech firms. It’s exactly where I want my next career step to be and I wouldn’t have got it without GuruLink’s dedication and help.”

“My experience working with Gavin and GuruLink has been great. Gavin is an extremely competent, diligent and professional consultant. He was quickly able to identify what I was looking for in my new role. He helped me find the right fit in terms of position as well as the organization which is perfect for me. He always followed up in time and was always available to chat about my questions/concerns. I highly recommend working with GuruLink and Gavin if you are on the market for a new position.”

“Working with Brad McIntosh, Nick Makata and Yan Yan, was an absolute pleasure. They were very professional, knowledgeable, and well organized. They knew the role and the employer very well and were clear on the entire process, I was always kept in the loop and given constant feedback. I’ve never felt this level of care during a hiring process. The GuruLink team are amazing and I’d highly recommend them.”

I actually look forward to my job now. Thank you so very much for all of your efforts. I feel that you guys are world-class recruiters (bar none, the best I have dealt with). Thanks again and anyone who reads this, please be open minded and accept their help. You will not regret getting placed in an amazing new career.”

They’ve provided all the details of every opportunity that arose and have been excellent at keeping me on the loop. The professionalism, the constant feedback and the advice they’ve provided is second to none. I would like to thank you again for helping me secure a position that will certainly further my career. Thank you!”

“Working with the GuruLink team, including Brad McIntosh and Jibran Khan, was an absolute pleasure. Brad and Jibran took the time to understand what my goals and strengths are and matched them with an amazing opportunity. They were very professional, knowledgeable, and well organized. They knew the role and the employer very well and were clear on the entire process, from the interviews to the profiles of potential colleagues, I was always kept in the loop and given constant feedback. I’ve never felt this level of care during a hiring process. Brad and Jibran and the GuruLink team are amazing and I’d highly recommend them!”

“I would equate the service I received from Brad and his team at GuruLink to top class financial planning. They took their time to know me, my strengths and my audicous goals. They aligned my requirements with the job openings. Contrary to many agencies that have an opening and search for the individual, it was refreshing to experience this personal touch. When conversing about an opening, Brad was well informed about the position, the personalities and culture of the company. I was truly pleased with the detail provided in preparation of the interviews. Brad provided biographies which helped during the interview planning. I have yet to experience this much genuine care and communication during the job placement phase as shown by Brad and his team. I would recommend GuruLink to anyone seeking a team that will put you first. We spend most of our life working, finding the right fit should be top priority and GuruLink delivers.”

“Working with GuruLink was an extremely satisfying experience. Brad, Jibran and their entire team took a very tailored approach to my job search. They ensured all my questions were answered before signing my offer. I felt that my best interests were always being considered and that ensuring a cultural fit with my new organization was important. I would recommend GuruLink to any professional seeking the personalized and high quality service they provide.”

“I have worked with a number of recruiters during my career, but only recently I have had the good fortune to be connected with Marshall at GuruLink. He is the first recruiter that made me feel like he was working hard to find the best job for ME. He also assured me that he would have a long-term relationship with me until that best job with the right fit comes along. Most recruiters and agencies I have encountered over my career fade-away and forget about their candidates pretty quickly (after their job lists dry-up, or jobs were not easily place-able for me).
GuruLink was honest, friendly, supportive, transparent, and forthcoming, with all of their information about: careers they had, if and how a career could/would be a good fit, what type of company they can go find for me and connect me with. They also took the time to discuss work history and personal details that can add to my value that may not be prominent on my CV. Most importantly, there was no pressure to take a position that was presented to me. I was presented a number of positions and GuruLink took the time to discuss each one and how it affected my personal life, commute-time, salary vs. quality of life, etc. There are many intangibles that go in to deciding what position is best for someone (as it’s not just about money). Marshall is very aware and understanding of these intangibles. I was grateful that he was there to help me with my decision making process.
In the end, GuruLink helped me land a new position, that is the kind of long-term fit that I have been searching for for years. It feels nice to finally be settled.
GuruLink made the whole process enjoyable, positive, informative, and stress-free.
This is how a recruiting agency should operate!”

“I’ve had the distinct pleasure of working with Marshall and Brad to achieve my most recent job win and have worked with GuruLink and Marshall in the past to find a position that was a great stepping stone in my career. In both cases, everyone from GuruLink that I was in contact with displayed great professionalism and understanding of the technology landscape. In such a varied industry, GuruLink was able to provide me with options that were a great fit for my technology and career interests and where I could develop new skills to stay on top of the game.
What sets GuruLink apart from other recruitment companies is their uncanny ability to find complementary matches between companies and candidates that benefit both. After a match, GuruLink was able to provide me with relevant details about the company and their interview process that allowed me to make an informed and confident choice to join. Thanks to Marshall, Brad, Christian and everyone at GuruLink for their interest in my continued success.”

“I was lucky and fortunate to have associated with Michael, Nick and Brad during my job search. I have only words of praises and appreciation for you and Gurulink. You elevated me from the status of newcomer unemployed to employed status in a mere 2 days, with a highly regarded brand in Canada! You had utmost clarity about what the role demanded and you asked the right questions to see my fitment for the job. You had a right idea of taking and finishing the test in time, before the interview, maximizing the chances of me succeeding in the interview. You prepared me for the interview. Moreover you represented me professionally and diligently to my new employer, which is the most important step, because until the interview employer does not see the candidate but only sees you representing the candidate! The GuruLink employment portal, which I never saw anywhere else, kept me updated for my application in a transparent and detailed manner. I knew what is happening on my application and how it was progressing.
I thank you, GuruLink, everyone involved and all the systems, which brought me to this state. As a gesture of friendship, courtesy, ongoing and long lasting relation, I would certainly recommend GuruLink to other job seekers in my network. You certainly have a right framework in place for matching jobs with appropriate talent, resulting in win-win situation for 3 parties involved including GuruLink, the employer and the jobseeker.
I wish you all great time coming forth with utmost great health, wealth, peace and happiness.”

Everything went very well. The employers team and I were very pleased with the interview, then at this stage we were just waiting for the employer to send the contract, it happed that I got an offer from another firm (not their client) which was a good one too. I went back to Devon and Edwin and informed them about the second offer. Their reaction was very clear and sincere; they let me to decide which one to choose with positive and supportive attitude and it blew me away they had not even one attempt to influence me for their client offer even after all the time they invested with me. My decision to go with Edwin and Devon client’s offer was completely mine and I’m very pleased with the whole experience I had with them.
I highly recommend employers and employees to work with Devon, Edwin and Guru Link and I already started referring candidates to them.”

time to give me feedback. I’m very happy to say that I now work for a great company and that all of this is due to GuruLink and how thorough they are.”

I appreciate the information and advice you provided about how to enhance my resume, navigate through an interview with valuable interview tips, and professional help you shared with me throughout this process. Your detailed expertise and help have been invaluable during this time, always making yourself available (even after hours or on weekends) to answer any questions I might have had. Unlike many other recruiters I’ve dealt with, I appreciate the fact two months after starting my new role you’re still following-up with me and extending assistance to ensure if I’ve settled in smoothly. I’m glad that an organized and attentive recruiter like you and your Guru Link team have found and placed me with an organisation who are leaders in their industry. Again, thank you so much. I sincerely appreciate your efforts.”

“As I sit here today still employed with the company GuruLink placed me I wanted to send over a quick thanks to Marc and Brad for a couple of things that I have listed below. Although things aren’t absolutely perfect, they are damn near close to it and I can deal with the rest as this is a smaller company in the process of growth and there is definite potential. So on to my thank-you’s
1. Thanks for introducing me to this company.
2. Thanks for taking the time to truly understand not only the company itself, but more importantly, the companies requirements as well.
3. Thanks for taking the time to understand who I was and get the information about me and making sure that you were not misquoting. The reason that this has come up is that I have been contacted be many recruiters after I rejoined the technology sector. The main issue is that unfortunately none of these recruiters seemed to really take the time to understand the prospect as much as the client to ensure a proper fit. Some have even not taken the time to remember which job I am currently employed at and were wishing me luck on a job I left 5 years earlier. Small mistake, large consequence……
So in short, thanks for your assistance in past and really taking the time to ensure that you have differentiated yourself from your competition.”

“Finally a company that delivers what they say, unlike other companies who basically run a herd of hartebeest through the African rivers hoping at least one makes it to the other side of the river without being eaten by crocodiles. I’m writing this as I made it to the other side of the river and I felt protected and guided through the process. Being in IT field for about 16 years and 12 years as an IT manager, it was truly amazing how well I was kept informed about my progress. Everything is tracked via their website which I’ve never seen by any other agency. As well, they really took the time to understand exactly my background and my personality to ensure a proper fit for me and the company they are representing.
Marc Balaban and Christian Harris are exceptional in what they do. Marc was able to provide in-depth knowledge of the position and was able to assess and actually understand my skills and experience. Christian was the same but he had in-depth knowledge of the company I was applying to and provided great feedback, kept on top of every step in the process and kept the human aspect as well in being valued.
GuruLink, I thank you for the next stage in my career and finding me a position in a wonderful Company.”

“It all started at the end of last year when I was laidoff and very few jobs out there. Many recruiters wanted to create my detail profile for a fee, change my resume, accept low paying jobs and even some where suggesting change my career in order to get jobs.
A job posting was in the air which resembled my background and the GuruLink guys were the first to contact me with asking only the details what the client wanted (fast and easy). Within next day they landed me a real job interview, I was amazed how quick these guys were with finding and putting likeable jobs on my desk.
Not only that, they helped me with all the interview questions and processes and looked as if they were with me all along. They negotiated my salary and calmed all my doubts before my first day of work. Jason and Omari had done an amazing job understanding my goals, finding me a very likeable job and securing it in couple of weeks. I have found GuruLink to be extremely professional and dedicated recruitment specialists. They work with you in order to find a placement which satisfies your objectives. I highly recommend GuruLink and if my situation changes, I look forward to an opportunity to work with them again in the future.”
Ivan
March 13, 2010
“From the first contact GuruLink started to create a good relation with me. They presented me three different positions they thought I could be interested in, to my surprise all of them were a good match to my profile, I point this out because some recruiters want to put some pressure on me to pretend that I know other things that I don’t but they knew exactly what I can do and what I can’t. From the first time I met Gavin in person, he was friendly and willing to explain everything about Gurulink and the available positions he had for me.
After that everything went even easier he was in touch on the phone and by email for each step without being annoying. For the online tests he explained me in detail how to setup the tests, how many time they would take and what topics to expect. Then he explained me everything about the company, what they do and the technologies they use. Before going to the interviews they recommended some things to make a good interview and answered some doubts I had.
After the interviews they always called exactly when they said they would and kept me informed on the status of the application. When I got the position they asked me again if I was comfortable with everything and never tried to push me to accept. This is the second time GuruLink helps me to get a job and, even when this is a permanent position, if I ever needed to look for a job again I’d definitely get in touch with Gurulink or recommend them to my friends. In general I’m so happy with Gurulink. I like how professional Gavin and Chris worked, I actually thank them and let them know how happy I was with their great job.
Thank you again!”

“If you asked me who is the best IT job agent that I had ever dealt with I would tell you immediately “Gurulink”! In my recent career change, Gurulink had helped me find my dream job. The uniqueness of their services I would say “Efficient, Effective, and Client Oriented”.
Gurulink consultants (Gavin Chand and Drew Lindsay) helped me extract my core strength and value by going through my professional work experience, reassessing my technical and management skills, exploring career interests. Then they presented me the matched opportunities with very detailed explanation of why they thought these were good matches according to my skill set, career interests, family interests, personal characteristics, as well as the future pictures of working for the potential employers. These already ensured high probability of success.
Prior to the interview, Gurulink consultants helped me understand the hiring company’s business, what kind of person they are looking for, what kind of accomplishments I had that matched the job requirements, etc. They also sent email reminder to me for the interview appointment. After interview, they followed up the feedback from both sides of the interview in a timely manner and coordinated the hiring process moving forward.
Job hunting could be very time consuming and sometimes like a full time job itself. But the greatest feeling I had during the period Gurulink represented me was that I never felt being alone and instead I felt embraced by Gurulink’s strong help, support and friendship.”

Throughout my dealings with GuruLink and Gavin, you’ve shown yourself to be a very knowledgeable and professional agency. You’re always prompt at returning my messages and you’re very efficient in coordinating the interview process with the client from beginning to end. I appreciate how you kept me in the loop throughout the whole interview process; especially when the interview process was delayed due to extenuating circumstances on the client side. Your insight and advice regarding reference presentation was very helpful. Thanks again for all your hard work, I have and will continue to recommend your services to anyone that I know who is looking for a new job or who is looking to change careers.”

“Marshall, Jason, and Brad at Gurulink were very helpful in my recent job search. Gurulink approached me with a potential position after I posted my resume online. They took the time to get to understand what I expected in a job as well as clearly explained what they had to offer. They helped assess my skills and how well I would fit in the company while providing feedback and advice on how to proceed.
Proceeding with the interview process, they followed up with me the instant something new came up and kept me informed of their every move. The entire process felt like it flew by without a hitch. As an initial impression of recruiting companies, Gurulink definitely sets the bar high for others to live up to.”

I was very happy to receive quality feedback and coaching throughout the duration of the interview period from experienced, well-spoken professionals. I would strongly recommend Gurulink to anyone seeking solid employment in IT. Thanks again Martin, Brad and the entire team! Overall I really was happy to be corresponding with you guys on a regular basis. It’s really amazing how easy you made the process – from initial email to job offer, everything seemed quite seamless. I really appreciated the individual interview feedback I got from Martin when we had met in person – those tips definitely carried out well into this morning’s interview. Also I should mention that the attachments on the automatic system reminder email were very useful as well (mostly about body language and general HR questions, etc.) I definitely look forward to starting out next week and just wanted to thank you again for all your help along the way.”

We met in late June. They had informed me of a great opportunity in my field of experience. I learned of the position and expressed my interest. The interview process went very quick. I had my first interview on a Tuesday and a second one (with offer) about 7 business days later. They acted as liason between me and the potential employer to give positive feedback on how we felt about each other right after each interview. The process was smooth and Gurulink was very helpful in the way the communications were handled. I would recommend Gurulink to my other colleagues without hesitation.”

They work in such a real professional way and their process is quick and encouraging. Robert called me in the morning to find out my skill sets and experience background and only a few hours later he showed up again with Brad and a job position. From then they coordinated everything and I could only concentrate on the job itself. It was really challenging but I enjoyed it with the help of them. I strongly recommend Robert and Brad in gurulink to everyone including newcomers who are looking for a new position.”

“First off i would like to thank the team at GuruLink for making this experience an easy, pleasant and helpful one. I have not dealt with recruiting agencies in the past, however after my experience with Martin and Brad at GuruLink I have a very positive idea about the hard work, effort, and skills found in experienced recruiters such as those of GuruLink. If it wasn’t for the dedication of Martin to find a suitable candidate for the position, I would not have been contacted. Martin was straight forward, helpful, and patient in guiding me through the recruitment process. I felt like they genuinely cared about me and wanted to ensure that I was the best candidate for the position, and also that I was 100% satisfied with the job details before proceeding with recruitment.I especially was grateful for his quick response to my e-mail and inquiries, he made the process very easy and stress free.
As well, Martin and Brad have excellent team work abilities, their good communication and team work skills helped them combine their efforts to help me every step of the way. What I also appreciated as well, was the way Brad and Martin spoke to me, although they had only recently met me they showed interest in me, and my qualifications, this gave me the confidence to do well on my interview and eventually get hired. Brad was very inspirational, I think he is an asset to the GuruLink team, he was always pleasant, upbeat, kind and he put forward all the time and energy required to ensure that I was prepared for the meeting with the Employer. I really liked the fact that the GuruLink team utilized e-mailing, and calling to communicate with me in a very efficient manner.
I thank Brad and Martin for the preparation a day before the interview, it really helped a lot and it gave me an idea about what to expect. I would definitely want to work with GuruLink again, I am indebted to their hard work and help.”

“Chris and Brad thank you for you help! NYC is awesome and I feel lucky to be here. I have biked NYC and Jersey city far and wide: Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island. I probably walked every avenue in Manhattan between downtown and the Central Park, and all the famous streets. Manhattan is a treasure trove of architecture old and new. My impression is that the people here in NYC are more forward and less reserved than in TO. And they are more interested in politics.
I have to put some work into establishing a social circle in the city as until now I have been awed by the city’s architecture, numerous bridges, rivers, and the Ocean (getting married to an American woman for instance!) In my next vacation I will rent a car and drive around in NY state. Work-wise, I am still doing Tibco-based systems. Hopefully I will get a chance to go back to J2EE by the end of the contract, though it is likely to be extended.
Your understanding of my needs, and your constant updates and help have been invaluable. I will for sure refer everyone I know and hope we can keep working together. By the way the site www.gurulink.ca is very slick, well laid out, and the new features from candidate side are very impressive.”

“I recently had the distinct pleasure of dealing with Mr. Brad McIntosh of Gurulink.ca in my search for a suitable position. Although the search has not yet concluded I want to highlight the excellent service I have received. I’m glad to attest that GuruLink falls in a very small minority of recruiters who is diligent in keeping potential candidates like myself updated on the status of one’s application for a particular position. One would think that this is common industry practice, and indeed common business sense. Lately I have been dealing with numerous other recruiters in other agencies and I can also attest that this is absolutely not the case. Often there is not even an acknowledgement of receipt of an application. It makes me shake my head in disbelief.
One last point. Not that long ago I was on the other side of the table. I was using recruiters to find suitable candidates for openings. When I will be in that position again it will be an easy decision to engage an excellent employment agency like Gurulink. I firmly believe that GuruLink’s approach results in the retention of a higher-quality pool of candidates and so in the end his current and future customers will be better served. Keep up the good work!”

“Mike, we may have a few roles that are a good fit for you.” This was the 1st message I got from Gurulink. But this is not the first time I received such a message from recruiters. “Hello Mike, this message is to notify you that I have created your application for the xxxxxx search we are conducting for one of our clients.” Wow, this sounds like something may happen now? “Your current job application status is ‘Presented’. Resume has gone out to the client Mike.” Now, something really has happened. “Your previous application status was ‘Presented’. Your current job application status is ‘1st Interview’.” Yes, I got there thanks to GuruLink!
Then 10 more messages, and a lot of in depth conversations with Brad McIntosh from GuruLink. This is Gurulink! Highly qualified and hard working recruiters, instant processing status notifications, invaluable technical assistance, and a truly excellent built web site. This is my recruiter! If a recruiter would like to cross his fingers for you, what else should you expect? Thanks GuruLink, for going the extra step.”
