“As talented as one may be, career success cannot be achieved without others. Both clients and candidates are in good hands with Betsy and Mike. At Sterling, their service hallmarks are client care, emotional intelligence and accountability. Their true differentiator, however, is how they craft unique relationships that lead to ‘long-view’ alliances rather than short-term transactions.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Sterling and Betsy Jacobs in joining Harbor House. My first communication was with Betsy on a phone interview and she was wonderful. Very knowledgeable about her client and the position, but equally interested in my background, experiences and who I was as a person. I was able to be honest and direct in sharing my hopes for a new position. Betsy made me feel that what I was looking for was just as important as what the organization needed. She made sure that the position and company was the right fit for both. I highly recommend Sterling and Betsy’s services for those who value a more a personal touch, genuine candidate consideration and a high degree of professionalism.”

In retiring from active duty in the Navy, I had a very specific goal of moving into a leadership position in the non-profit community for the next stage of my career and they were instrumental in making it happen. They are extremely professional and provided great knowledge and insight into their client and the position and were great to work with throughout the hiring process.”
