Chris and Todd at The Talent Mine reached out to me in January about their client’s position. They knew who I was, they knew what kind of career I had, and worked with me and their client to make the best decision for everyone. Chris has a background in engineering, which makes him great at finding top tier tech talent and recognizing it when he sees it. I was able to connect with him over Teams about some things we had in common. And I felt understood by him about issues many software engineers are facing right now. He got to know my background and he really listened. The Talent Mine also has great interview prep. They did their best to prepare me for every call I had with helpful tips and anything that might boost my chances. And they advocate for you to their clients whenever possible. They do so much more than phone screening and googling, they find and set their applicants on a winning trajectory so their client sees them at their best. I’m so glad The Talent Mine found me. I’m happily in a new role thanks to their team.

Mark originally reached out to me about a potential position he thought I was a good fit for. Mark set up an initial call so I could go over the job position details with his coworker Chris. I worked with Chris from the initial call onward. I have to say, Chris is a great guy! He not only cared about the work aspect of things, but about me personally as well. It’s rare you see that these days. If I am job searching in the future, I’d definitely work with Mark and Chris again! I’d recommend reaching out to The Talent Mine if you are on the market searching!

A Gold Mine of Expertise and Commitment! I had the incredible fortune of connecting with Chris Bloomquist from The Talent Mine during a previous job search. The Talent Mine business model is a refreshing approach to recruitment as they are not just trying to tick a box to fill a position with a faceless applicant. Chris’s insight into industry trends and competitive salary expectations, along with taking time to understand my talents, helped to broaden my perspective and clarify my goals – and confidence. Chris’s optimistic but grounded personality made every interaction a welcome experience. Chris even guided me in negotiating a deal with a prospective employer I had already been in contact with! I have no doubt that The Talent Mine will be my first choice in my future needs. Chris’s professionalism, expertise, and support have left a lasting impression on me. And yes, ChatGPT helped me craft a more eloquent way of saying ‘These guys rock!’
