  • Mary is an incredible recruiter who puts so much effort and thought into every step of the recruitment process, from her initial presentation of a role to a candidate, through the interview process and beyond. She was well-versed in the industry and did her research, helping with interview preparation and any concerns throughout the process of finding a new role. She is a great communicator, extremely efficient, and always responsive. I enthusiastically recommend her – she was a joy to work with!

  • Andrea is by far the best recruiter that I’ve ever worked with! From our initial conversation she was friendly, professional and always sincere in her recommendations.

    Not only did she guide me through the lengthy interview process and prep me for each round of interviews, but she has also always made herself available to answer any questions I had and offered advice. Throughout the process, Andrea provided useful interview tips and thorough updates on employer’s feedback for each round of interviews.

    Andrea is a professional recruiter who did an outstanding job in aligning my skills and interests with an exceptional opportunity.

    I absolutely enjoyed working with Andrea and would highly recommend her!

    Christy | Compliance Officer | $15B Hedge Fund

  • Andrea is one of the best people I have worked with, recruiter or otherwise. The way that she and her firm work took away most of the major stress of the job search and interviewing process. She was always honest, transparent, and a great person. Using Andrea for a job search is a no brainer, simply put it is the smartest decision I made as part of my job search process.

  • Andrea is very professional and provides a high level of service when it comes to changing employers. Soon after we connected I not only interviewed but got a new job, where I’m very happy, with a minimal amount of hassle. I enjoyed the fact that she’s direct, cuts through the BS and doesn’t waste time. I’m sure we’ll work again in the future.

  • I have had the privilege of working with Andrea for the past few years on Operation roles in financial institutions and this recommendation is long overdue! I wanted to share how great and amazing a recruiter and mentor she really is! I have worked with tons of recruiter but in terms of being professional, understanding and strong work ethics, Andrea simply is one of the best! She provides a lot of guidance and support in helping candidates make sound career choices and assist companies in recruiting top talented individuals.

    Michelle | Investment Operations | $100B Investment Management Firm

  • I worked with Andrea while I was searching for a job. She was wonderful and completely different than any head hunter I’ve dealt with in the past. She is attentive, personable, and clearly an expert in her field. I would happily work with Andrea again and would certainly recommend her to others.

    Elizabeth | Legal Counsel | $5B Hedge Fund and Private Equity Firm

  • My job search experience with Andrea and Steve was unmatched on many different levels. Cardea is not your typical recruitment firm that places candidates in roles without care or thought of whether the opportunity is the right fit or in the best interest of the candidate. Both Andrea and Steve were sincere and helpful guides throughout the process, with the utmost care about my preferences. My feedback was always valued and I was never pressured to take an interview, even on the verge of potential offers. In addition, the positions presented to me by Cardea were among the best opportunities available and tailored to my preferences. Our relationship has turned into a lasting friendship, and for that, I am grateful.

  • Since I was referred to her three years ago, Andrea has been a pleasure to work with. She did an excellent job with interview preparation and it was with her guidance that I landed my first role at a Private Equity fund. She is very respectful, honest and gives constructive feedback. In my experience with her, Andrea genuinely cares that the job opportunities she presents are in line with my desired career path and has set realistic expectations. I will always keep in touch.

    Rachel | Senior Fund Accounting Analyst | $250M Private Equity Firm

  • Working with Andrea was an absolute pleasure. She is by far the best recruiter I’ve ever come into contact with. She genuinely cares for the people she is trying to help, which ultimately makes all the difference. She was there for me throughout the entire interview process: advice, preparation, and execution. Because of her, I was able to interview with the knowledge and confidence necessary to land my first job in the investment industry. If you’re looking for a new position in an industry that you love, Andrea is the person to talk to.
