80Twenty

Taylor Holtemann helped me find an amazing opportunity. She is very easy to work with and always kept me updated in regards to feedback and next steps. I never felt out of the loop. Taylor is definitely an advocate for her clients!

I can't say enough good things about the work 80Twenty does. I chatted with Rob Norris, a senior recruiter in their SF office, and he was extremely professional, took an interest in me, and discussed opportunities in my field. Rob was much more engaged than many recruiters I've spoken to during my career, he really made an effort to get to know me, what I do, what I would like to do, and talked about the possibilities within 80Twenty's orbit. If you are starting out or well into your career, I recommend looking into this fine company.

Had the pleasure of speaking with Rob for a few potential job opportunities. He was able to provide roles that closely aligned with my background/interest. We had to reschedule our initial call but he took the time to reach out again. I'm looking forward to working with him in the future!

It's been excellent working with Justin Ferber at 80Twenty, he's very responsive and TRULY looks out for your best interests -- and everyone is happy in the end -- both employer and employee! I've had a wonderful experience with this recruiting firm, better than any other I have worked with in the past. All thanks to 80Twenty!

Finding My Dream Job During A Worldwide Pandemic

I saw the most perfect job position posted on Indeed by 80Twenty that aligned with everything I wanted with my career. I applied immediately, and checked for the next few days, if my application had been viewed. Knowing how competitive Los Angeles is, not to mention how much more it is now during a pandemic, I searched for the job posting on LinkedIn, hoping I could and a direct message to the assigned recruiter. At the time the job wasn't posted and there were multiple recruiters that worked with 80Twenty. I went through each profile, seeing if maybe they were separated by industry but I couldn't really tell.

So I finally sent a LinkedIn direct message to the CEO of 80Twenty, Annika Brytnse. I sat with anticipation, over-analyzing if I had overstepped, if she would even respond, etc. I've worked with some amazing recruiters before, but often it's difficult to get one to respond back due to the overwhelming response of candidates they usually get. To my surprise, she replied back quickly, providing me an email introduction to Larissa Gerlach, Head of Recruitment Services.

My experience with Larissa was absolutely amazing. I was able to speak candidly with her, and she communicated with me at every step. She even took additional time out of her day, to let me practice a Go-To-Market presentation, I had created on my own, hoping it would help give me an edge. She provided feedback and encouragement, that gave me the confidence to present for the executive team.

When I received the news I had gotten the job from the client, Larissa didn't just email me congratulations, she called me directly! She explained that our connection wouldn't just stop here. She would be there to assist, even after I started the role. I've never felt so supported by other recruiters before. She went above and beyond her job description.

In closing, I would reccomend 80Twenty to both potential clients and applicants. Looking at posts on LinkedIn and my own experiences regarding experiences with recruiters aren't always as positive. Lack of follow-up and full knowledge of what the role entails is often frustrating on both the client and applicant side. Such positive experiences as I've had with 80Twenty should be applauded and shouted to the heavens!

Thank you so much 80Twenty for helping me find my dream role, in the midst of a worldwide pandemic!
