What People Are Saying

“Jamie was more than wonderful to work with, and she came at the right time in my career! As an environmental consultant with more than eight years of experience, I wasn’t expecting to make a big career shift. After she reached out to me, I realized I had a lot more to offer my industry if I took a chance on myself. She matched me with my current employer and accepting the position has turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made—I am three months in and thoroughly enjoying my “new” company and co-workers.

Throughout the process, Jamie was very easy-going but knowledgeable. She knew how to highlight my strengths and present the best version of myself to my now-employer. She was very resourceful and provided me with a lot of guidance (verbal and written) through the job-searching process. She was very accessible and almost always replied to my emails and texts in a timely manner. Beyond the excellent professionalism, getting to know her was a treat! We had way too much in common so there was no doubt I wanted to work with her. Jamie is a great resource and I recommend that environmental professionals in the region stay connected with her.”

-Senior Biologist/Project Manager

“I highly recommend Jamie. She's been such a pleasure to work with and made the recruitment process easy. She did all the heavy lifting in the negotiations area and ensured all expectations were communicated between negotiating parties. If I'm ever in the market for recruitment services again Jamie will be my go-to person, as she was such a pleasure to work with. Thanks, Jamie!”

— Project Scientist

“Jamie was such a pleasure to work with! Jamie trained me on interview strategies and guided me in accepting a wonderful life-changing career opportunity. She advocated for me the entire time and took care of every aspect of the recruitment process. I would recommend Jamie as one of the most dedicated and responsible recruiters out there!”

—Environmental Planner Project Manager

“Career transitions can be challenging, but Jamie made it manageable. Jamie was incredibly helpful, she understood my specific expectations and provided valuable advice.”

— Director of Sustainability

“Jamie was very helpful throughout the recruiting process. She communicated proactively during and even after she helped connect me with a new organization. She was very personable and professional and did a great job.”

— Western Regional Industrial Hygiene Manager

“Jamie reached out to me regarding a position she was looking to fill and thought I would be a good candidate. Right off the bat I was struck by her courteous message that accompanied her connection request. So many people want to connect and then sell you, but her message was kind, and respectful. Over the next several days that initial impression was not only reinforced, it was just the foundation of who Jamie is as a person and as a recruiter. Most recruiters I've talked to just take your information, resume, and that's it. Jamie took things to a completely higher level by reviewing everything I sent over, and offering some of the most amazingly constructive and friendly critiques of my paperwork to help improve it and my chances of getting hired. She even continued to help after finding out the position she was looking for was filled in house within days of it being posted.

I really can't speak highly enough about Jamie. If she reaches out to you about an opening, please, by all means, connect with her, she is fabulous to work with and her commitment to helping elevate others around her is truly inspiring!”

-GIS Professional

“I have used recruiters in the past that turned out to only be interested in the commission and not really focused on putting the best candidate for the best position. Jamie on the other hand, breaks that mold… I recommend people I know in my field to contact her when they are ready for a change. Her professionalism, integrity and truthfulness goes above and beyond.“

— Director of Health and Safety

“Jamie Owens is an outstanding, professional and reliable recruiter. Her hard work and persistence helped me to secure an amazing opportunity with an industry leading corporation. I will forever be grateful to Jamie.”

—PCA Project Manager

“Jamie connected me with the hiring team at PlaceWorks and made the transition very smooth for all. I was very pleased with the advice and support I received as we went through the interview process, and it has turned out to be a great match professionally. I am happy to give Jamie a glowing recommendation.“

— Associate Principal/Landscape Architect

“Jamie was very easy and reliable to work with. She arranged interviews, reviewed documentation, and worked with me and the potential employer to negotiate salary. I ended up making much more than I thought I could ask for, in a company suited to my career needs. Jamie is extremely responsive and an excellent recruiter. Thank you, Jamie!”
