Mark Powys
Project Manager
"I would like to recommend Cynthia Simpson as an excellent recruiter that has high integrity, is very personable and is totally trustworthy. Cynthia guided me through each step of the process from telephone interview to negotiations, offering valuable advice that was truly appreciated. Cynthia really cares about ensuring that the candidate and company are a great match and this makes her stand out in the recruiting business."

Ken King
Operations Improvement Officer at Amtrak Philadelphia
"I have worked with Cynthia for a number of years since she first recruited me as talent. She is always the consummate professional who took the time to prepare me for interviews, providing inside information as to the needs of the employer so I could enter the interview with confidence. She also paid me the best compliment by seeking my advice on skills that the employers were seeking in my field of expertise, quality engineering, that are peripheral to her core knowledge in the glass industry. 

Over the years I have worked with more recruiters than I care to recall, from those who should be doing something *anything* else, all the way up to Cynthia. There is no recruiter out there of whom I think more highly than Cynthia Simpson."

"It is my pleasure to recommend Cynthia as one of the most professional recruiters I have ever worked with in my twenty plus year career. Cynthia has a great personality along with her honesty and integrity makes her a joy to work with. I never once had to guess where I stand or when I will hear from her because she is a true caring professional. It is without hesitation that I recommend Cynthia and I look forward to continuing my relationship with her and her company."

"I had the pleasure of working with Cynthia on my recent position search. Cynthia was extremely personable, methodical and thorough in the entire scope of the recruitment process. As we worked together we built a relationship that was extremely helpful in upcoming interviews. She managed the flow and detail of the process, from beginning to end extremely well."

Human Resources Manager, Retired Saint-Gobain Glass Containers
"Cynthia Simpson is the epitome of what a great recruiter should be. Cynthia is thorough and takes the time to really understand all the requirements of the opening that you want to fill. Not only does she want to understand the job specifications and requirements, but she wants to understand the company dynamics and team dynamics within the particular work unit as well. She truly finds superior candidates that closely match your requirements. Cynthia does not waste your time on candidates that do not match your open positions. Her focus is always on quality not quantity of candidates that she presents. She also makes sure that the background and references of her candidates have been thoroughly checked and prequalified. This is a real plus in today’s hiring environment. Any HR hiring professional can always be sure that every candidate that Cynthia recommends meets her high standards and she does not just recycle resumes. Candidates that I have hired have told me that Cynthia actually conducts intensive interviews with candidates before she agrees to present them to a customer. They have to pass muster with her before she puts her stamp of approval on a candidate. During my entire career in HR I never found a more dedicated, committed recruiter than Cynthia Simpson. She has filled numerous positions for me in the past and her candidates have always become top employees within our organization. If you want a truly top shelf professional to handle professional recruitment for you, Cynthia Simpson is your person. She has my highest regard for her professionalism and talent!"

"My experience working with Cynthia Simpson during my career search was both satisfying and rewarding. Her professional demeanor and genuine concern (not only for me, but my family) seemed paramount before, during and even after my placement. Cynthia first contacted me with a firm having several plants within the U.S. The initial job opening was interesting, but the location didn’t suit our situation. She understood my reasoning and didn’t try to influence my decision in any way. As it turned out, a few weeks later, the same company had another opening at a different facility. This was in a state I would have never thought of living in before. She was able to match my background with someone needing the skill-set I could provide.

Cynthia did a masterful job of preparing me for the interviews, since the first was over the telephone and later was in-person at the facility. She was able to enlighten me on some of the personalities I would meet and even gave me great suggestions and what to wear for the in-plant interview. Her easy-going manner gave me settled my nerves and gave me confidence; she let me know how interested the client was in me and what I could bring to their operation. Once the job offer came in, I was pleasantly surprised to see the company didn’t quibble with my expected salary. There was no real need for negotiating and I was able to keep my vacation time. I’m certain Cynthia played a huge part in representing me and let the employer know how I could be a valued asset for them.
I have been with this company for almost a year, in an industry I would never have considered in the past in an area my family likes. I thank Cynthia for keeping me in mind after the first job prospect didn’t match. I feel I have the best job I could have ever imagined with a company I had never heard of before, in an industry that is exciting and thriving. Cynthia has got to be the best recruiter I have ever worked with and have recommended her to friends of mine looking for new opportunities."

"Cynthia is among the most personable recruiters with whom I have worked. She made me feel as if I was her only client. Cynthia was quick to build a high-value relationship bridge between the client and me. When it came time for the interview, she offered counsel, which turned out to be the key to the interview, offer, negotiations and acceptance. She met and exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend her."

Director Human Resources, Retired Saint-Gobain Containers
"Cynthia Simpson, a recruiter with J.T. Nelson & Associates, has been recruiting for Saint-Gobain Containers for about 9 years with many of our locations as well as our corporate office in Muncie, Indiana. She is always professional in dealing with our Human Resource Managers as well as our hiring managers. I like her versatility as a recruiter because she can recruit for supervisors as well as VP candidates. Our hiring managers often mention how thorough she is in probing the job description requirements as well as specific requirements to the position or location. This allows her to generate candidates that are on target and expedites the hiring. She does very thorough reference checks on the candidates which is extremely important to our company. Cynthia is one of our top recruiters and she represents our company in a most professional manner. Candidates even comment on her thoroughness and professionalism. I have been in the hiring business for more years than I like to think about, and I have no hesitation in recommending Cynthia Simpson and J.T. Nelson & Associates.

Cynthia is one of the best recruiters I have ever worked with."
