We’re glad they do.

Here’s what our clients and candidates are saying about Genius Road.

Sherry, thank you for getting back to me.  A lot of recruiters will not get back to me if it is a negative outcome.  I like the fact that you shared your client’s feedback with me and that made me understand what the client is actually looking for the position. Please do keep me in mind for future opportunities that fit my profile.

Have a great day and keep doing what you are doing, you’re one of the good recruiters. 👍

Sr. Database Administrator, Genius Road Consultant @ The State of Texas

This has by far been my most productive, informative, and smoothest experience with a recruiting company. Every employee’s intent from the recruiter, to the accounting department, to the CEO has been very clear, which is to ensure felicitous job placements and solidify partnerships.

Prior to any potential employer interaction, Genius Road provides proven and helpful tips for successful engagement. I’ve experienced some of the fastest and most informative responses with a recruiting company, to include follow-up correspondence and encouragement from the recruiter and CEO through every step of the way.

Hoping to continue this working relationship with this company!

Sr. Technical Writer, Genius Road Consultant @ The State of Texas

I had a great experience working with Genius Road. Marian was amazing to work with! She was so personable and helpful throughout the entire recruiting process. She went above and beyond every step of the way.

Kimberly and Sherry were also very professional and gave me great advice.

The personal attention and responsiveness from everyone at Genius Road made the process so smooth.

Marian checked in on me when I started the job and continues to check in to ensure that I am set up for success. She has become a friend that is just a phone call away.

I am so glad to be a part of the Genius Road team.

IT Contract Manager, Genius Road Consultant @ The State of Texas

Sherry has been amazing during these long months of interview! She kept following up with me, and was very patient with both me and the client. Thank you Sherry!

Information Systems Security Officer, Genius Road Consultant @ The State of Texas

From the very beginning, the experience has been absolutely great. I felt like I was sought after for a position with a company that aligned with my professional and personal goals. This has been much more than a transactional relationship, but more of a developing professional friendship. Thank you for everything!

Very personal touch from all the personnel I worked with!

Kimberly and Kinslee were beyond helpful in navigating me through the hiring process. I appreciated their knowledge and expertise. They’re both very professional and personable, they made me feel confident in preparing for my interviews.

Recent Candidate Experiences

Of all the years that I’ve worked with recruiting partners, you really stepped up to the plate for us late last year with a lot of trust and commitment to doing the right thing and I really appreciate that type of relationship.

Chief Human Resource Officer, Banking Client

Everyone has been so kind and helpful. These fantastic ladies have become family in a very short period of time. These are fantastic people who want to be sure they are placing you somewhere that is a good fit for both parties not just putting butts in seats.

Kimberly did a fantastic job with practically white glove service!

The whole experience with Sherry and Genius Road has been unreal. Keep up the great work.

The entire process was amazing. Kinslee was a joy to work with and she made sure that I was ready for the interview.

Great follow up and follow through in the intake process. Treated me the way you hope to be treated in the hiring process, but so seldom are.

Candidate Experiences

I love the prep docs I received-really helped! The team there communicated often with regular status updates throughout the process. Would highly recommend.

Genius Road is very attentive in making sure their candidates are on the right path.

Sherry and Kim were amazing! Always helping me out with advice and checking in on me!

Recent Candidate Experiences

Kimberly, it was such a pleasure to finally meet you in person today! I hope you realize how much of an impact you have in people’s lives. Moving to a new city, and with no job, is so stressful but from the moment I spoke with you, I knew I was in good hands. You have a friend for life in me.

Human Resource Manager, Healthcare Technology Client

Top management, recruiters and everyone on the team is highly professional and responsive. I am extremely happy to be part of the Genius Road team.

Senior Consultant, Genius Road

I can’t say enough about this “Genius” team you’ve helped me assemble.  They are all getting along together fabulously!  And the two newbies are starting to get their sea-legs and knocking off some good work this early.

SVP Technology, Major Financial Services Company

Kimberly, your branding seminar was perfect for my team! You provided a tailored seminar within the outline of my Annual Team Retreat. We learned about how effective personal branding can make our team stronger and more influential with our internal and external partners. I loved how you blended theory with practicality by teaching us the 4 Pillars of a great LinkedIn Profile! Make sure you reach out to Genius Road this year! You won’t regret having them as a partner!

Network Real Estate Manager, Telecommunications Client

The team at Genius Road made my recruiting experience quick and easy. Everyone was extremely responsive and I felt like all my questions and concerns were addressed almost immediately. I appreciated the personalized attention.

Marketing Campaign Consultant, Global Client

This was the best experience I have ever had with a recruiting company/team. I would highly recommend them to everyone!

Technical Sales Director, Fortune 1000 Company

Kimberly and her team have been extremely helpful in our efforts to staff across several markets. In the past, I have worked with many staffing firms with varied results. Kimberly and her team offered a refreshing approach and her team goes through great lengths to understand our needs and really listen for what makes an ideal sales engineering candidate. Candidates presented to us for review are screened extensively based on predefined criteria. They never send recycled resumes or candidates that don’t fit these profiles. The candidates that we have hired working with Kimberly and her team have more than satisfied our expectations. Whether we choose to move on a candidate or not, Kimberly is always looking for feedback on how to be a better business partner. We are thankful to have relationships like this to help make our goals a reality.

Director, Fortune 500 Company

Hi Kim, thanks so much for connecting, as I have had the best experience so far with Supriya and your team. She is knowledgeable, professional, and overall wanted to make sure you knew how hard she is working. I think it’s important to reach out sometimes with feedback. I feel like I can trust her, she had good pointers to assist with my interview process, and always responded to me in a timely manner…Thanks for all of your time and consideration!

Digital Marketing Manager Candidate

I am the Director of Human Resources for New Benefits, Ltd. and have had the pleasure of working with Kimberly Zanatta and her team at Genius Road as a client since 2013; New Benefits has been using her services dating back at 2011. The Genius Road team is responsive, dedicated, professional, terrific at what they do (staffing)! They have helped us at New Benefits fill numerous positions in the areas of Human Resources, Accounting, Business Development, and especially IT to name a few.

Genius Road stands out amongst other agencies for many reasons. One of the key differentiators being their customized approach and extensive vetting process. Kimberly took the time to truly get to know our business, culture, and people! This permitted Genius Road to find top talent to effectively match our company’s needs. The candidates from Genius Road were professional and well prepared because Kim and her team were dedicated to prepping each candidate on New Benefits as an organization and the interviewing process. This allows companies like ours to conduct efficient interviews and a streamlined hiring process. Additionally, their thorough vetting process eliminated unqualified candidates from the interview pool which added to the efficiency of our interviewing/hiring process. My team and I have greatly enjoyed our working relationship with Kimberly Zanatta and her team at Genius Road.

Director, Human Resources, New Benefits™

I have worked with Genius Road for several years.  I have used them for staffing, executive coaching, long-term and short-term staff planning, and executive or B2B level networking.  At one point, this was the only staffing firm that I was actually using for my staffing needs although I was required, by my company, to work with and consider applicants from other firms.  When it comes to staffing, using Genius Road for me is like a jeweler using a precision instrument rather than a sledge hammer.  The account executives at Genius Road spend an unusual amount of time getting to know the hiring manager, the corporate and team culture, the job description, and the nuances that may not be found in a job description.  In a particular 12-month time period, if I saw 60 applicants, Genius Road only sent two and both were hired.

As for executive coaching, Genius Road coaches give honest, candid feedback so as to set realistic expectations.  They also spend as much or as little time as is needed to attain the required results.  Resume drafting, review, and grooming  is done at the highest level so as to communicate the right message without misleading or fabricating skills and history.  In a short phrase, Genius Road executive coaching is subtle yet powerfully effective.

In summary, Genius Road is a small but amazingly competent and capable recruiting agency that does so much more.  They absolutely understand the industries that they support which is one of their true strengths.  The other is their strong sense of ethics in business.  This group is dedicated to doing whatever it takes to meet a customer’s staffing needs and they have the right team in place along with the experience and reputation to get it done!
