Founder at Copland - Former CTO at PINCHME, Ellevest, and Canvas

“This should be all you need to know about Scott: I'd love to work with him again, but I'm too happy with my new role to need, too.

Scott has a simple, great process: He'll discuss your careers interests and goals, he'll listen, and then he'll execute based on a plan that fits your goals. Other people in his field tend to focus on fitting square-shaped objects into whatever the shape of the hole that pays the highest commission. Not Scott. He looks for the right candidates, works to make sure it's a good fit, and is exceptionally professional and responsive during the execution phase.”

Quick to respond and extremely patient, I highly recommend working with him.”

“To label Scott as a recruiter would be an injustice to the multitude of services he brings to the table. Simply put, Scott's intention - a rare perspective in the recruiting space - is not grounded in hastily placing you in any available role - but rather, he excels at ensuring the role, it's associated expectations, and the company's culture align with your core values and growth. Scott is a great friend, you can count on him to be unequivocally by your side throughout the course of your company's growth - prepared to connect you with top-percentile talent at a moment's notice.”

Co-Founder of Virgin Mobile & Mast Mobile

“Scott has been an astute and resourceful recruiter of engineering and development talent for Mast Mobile. With his help, we've built a tech team that I and others consider among the very strongest in New York City. Scott identifies the most valuable contributors to key companies, some considering outside opportunities and others engaged in their current role, and speaks informally with them to assess both their experience and skills and their interest in joining a new venture. We have been consistently impressed with the candidates Scott has screened and referred. Please contact me to provide a reference for Scott Williams.”

“Scott is not your average recruiter. He's not even your average above average recruiter. He takes the time to understand the needs of his clients on either side of the relationship and adjusts along the way as he gets feedback. I've known Scott long enough that I don't actually remember when I first met him and his team (we kept in touch by meeting up every few months over beers and video games). When the right opportunity for me came along, he knew what I needed and he knew what the company needed. In my current role, I'm happy to continue working with him to find great candidates.”

Systems Engineer at Persistent Systems

“Alan is head and shoulders above the best recruiter I have worked with. Alan and I discussed the reasons for my search, the types of positions that make sense for my skill set and life goals. Every position Alan sent me felt like it was tailored to feedback from the last position we discussed. Alan provided cultural insights on the company that hired me with that allowed me to walk into the interview with a better understanding of the organization than what you would get by reading a job posting or website.”

I found Alan very professional and helpful and I have recommended him to many friends.”

“Scott and his team are truly unique in the world of recruiting and have repeatedly proven themselves to be extremely capable when it comes to seeking out top talent. Having worked with Scott since our first raise, it has become clear that he views his role as helping to build teams, not just place candidates. He takes the time to build relationships with both candidates and clients over time and gains an intimate understanding of the dynamics of clients' teams and company cultures, in addition to technical needs. By doing so, Scott and BigHLabs have always been reliable partners for us when it comes to finding great additions to our team.”
