It was great working with LCI.  There were clear lines of communication and a clear back and forth dialog to ensure that I was properly prepared for my interviews. The process revolves around providing the interviewee the tools necessary to excel in the interview process and transition into a new work environment. LCI took my resume and interests and directly linked my skills with the most applicable and exciting job opportunity.  I would use LCI again because of the quality of the communication with the recruiter and the high caliber of employers that rely on LCI. I would recommend LCI to others because you can count on finding great job opportunities and being fully prepared for every step of the process.  The strength of LCI is in the subject matter experts of the field in which they are recruiting. It was wonderful working with you!   RS-Water Wastewater Project Engineer 2019

Charlie found my dream job and revved up my personal presentation to turn the interview into an offer, even though I’m 63 years old.  Charlie provided support and constructive criticism that made all the difference.  She even guided me on how to accept the offer, write my resignation letter, and ensure an amicable separation from my company.  I owe Charlie big time. –A.P. 2019

Lauren is a consummate professional and our go to for filling positions that are highly competitive in our industry. She and her team does the background work needed to find that ideal candidate that is the ideal fit for both parties. –N.P. CEO/President 2019

I found it easy to work with LCI.  They followed up when they said they would and were always responsive.  I also found that their industry knowledge was critically important to finding the right fit for my next job. Their process is thoughtful.  LCI took the time to figure out what was important to me in my new job and they helped me to consider companies that were not even on my radar.  I ended up with a firm I’d never heard of before and I couldn’t be happier. I am having a great time with my new role in my new company. I have quickly integrated into the company culture and I have found that I’m excited to go to work every day. I would use LCI again.  I thought that the process was thoughtful and that the team helped me to find a job that hit all the right notes for me. The company that I ended up with offered my ideal salary without me having to negotiate – that was priceless. I already recommended them to others! I think that LCI’s industry knowledge alone is a reason to recommend them to friends.  LCI strengths are follow up and perseverance. I can’t think of anything that they could improve. –S.D., Senior Water Resources Engineer 2019

I would like to tip my hat to you and your team as well. I have been getting inundated with contact requests from LinkedIn in the last week. I have talked to a couple other folks in your field and to say that your team dominates in terms of knowledge and polish is an understatement.  I was initially impressed because you exceeded my expectations in terms of what I would expect from a recruiter.  Now I’m even more impressed because the other folks I have talked to can hardly put a sentence together when they get off the script they are reading. It was to the point where I really wanted to know the name of the company they were recruiting for because if they would hire a worthless recruiter then they probably aren’t a worthwhile company to work for as an employee.  So keep up the good work!—D.C. 2018

I absolutely loved working with LCI. I would describe the process as thorough and prompt. LCI strengths would be how approachable, encouraging and helpful they are at all times, especially with the interview prep sessions. Thank you guys so much for assisting me, and for helping me land such an amazing job. –V.S. 2018

“Working with LCI helped me find a career that suits my professionalism in a way where I can use my talent to the best of my ability. The process was fast and to the point. In a matter of two weeks I was working in a field I always wanted to work at. And if I had to do it over again I would because I know LCI will match me with another challenging and exciting job. I would recommend the services of LCI to anybody looking for a great opportunity to find a job where they can be proud of. Their staff quickly got the importance of my talents and sorted them in a way that would be attractive to any employer looking for a skilled worker to join their team. Also, the staff at LCI are patient and will work with you to overcome any obstacles that would be difficult to anyone doing it alone. I would again like to thank you for kick starting me in a new and adventurous career.” –C.H.

“It was a pleasure working with Lauren from Lincoln & Creed. Through every step of the way Lauren coordinated the job opportunity in the most fair and efficient way possible. The process through which I was put through was very structured, but at no junction throughout was there an unwillingness to accommodate what may not have been a part of their template.  Lauren provided me with fair, honest negotiation and was a pleasure to work with. It was quite obvious that Lincoln & Creed analyzed possible candidates on more than what may be contained in one’s resume. Coupled with the streamlined hiring process made for a much needed saving grace. Definitely the communication factor of the process shined through as a strength which correlated directly with the speed of the process.” –J.B.

They were friendly and quick throughout the whole process.” –B.D.

LCI was helpful and provided guidance throughout the process. The process is organized and effective. A phone interview was first conducted to get an understanding of my background and experience in order to pair me with a job opportunity that made sense.

I was then briefed about the first interview and provided some coaching and tips since it had been many years since I had an interview.

“Lincoln & Creed, Lauren, and Christa provided excellent support throughout the hiring process. I was well prepared for each interview, having been provided with the names and background of each individual that I would be meeting. The first offer that I received met all of my expectations, with Lincoln & Creed having already reviewed terms with my future employer. The position is exactly as described and is a great opportunity to advance my career.” –S.J., PE, LEED AP, Project Manager

“Working with Lincoln & Creed, Inc. was a great experience. I have not worked with a recruiter before, but recommend the job they did on my behalf. They kept me informed of the company’s expectations, provided a guideline of things to think about and helped me prepare myself for the interview process. After I was hired, Lincoln & Creed checked back with me on a regular basis to make sure everything was on track and I was happy. I appreciate that follow-up and interest. I’d recommend them to others looking for opportunities. It was a great move for me. Not only that, it is also a great fit. A great job opportunity doesn’t lead to a long term fit unless the culture is also a match. They provided a great match on both accounts. Many thanks!” –G.E., PG, Principal Geologist

“My experience working with Christa DeHerrera began in March 2013, when she cold-called me at work (with my previous employer) regarding employment opportunities. In the past I had not generally taken recruiter calls too seriously, but Christa’s demeanor caught my attention. She got right to the point, and the job opportunity she described sounded like a perfect fit for me, so after verifying Lincoln & Creed as a recruiter, I transmitted my resume to Christa. Things moved very quickly, and I was thrilled when she told me that Lincoln & Creed was recruiting for MWH Global. Christa was on top of this opportunity, and helped me prepare and focus for my interviews. I have always interviewed well, but I learned a lot from the preparation sessions, particularly the focus on my strengths and 5 year plan. Long story short, I received an excellent employment offer from MWH Global and have been happily employed here since May 2013. My experience with Christa and Lincoln & Creed was extremely professional and positive. I thoroughly endorse Christa and Lincoln & Creed, and would definitely use them for any future staff needs.” –S.R., Project Engineer

“I would highly recommend Lincoln & Creed to all of my friends and colleagues. I’ve been very happy with the recruiting process. Lincoln & Creed has led me to a position I’m very happy with and see myself staying at for a very long time. Lincoln & Creed not only sets you up with an interview but are supportive in all aspects of the process from interview coaching to putting in your resignation. Most importantly, Lincoln & Creed understands the needs and wants of both the prospective employer and employee not to waste anyone’s time and prides themselves in making sure the job is good fit.” –A.F., Senior Project Manager

“It has been a pleasure working with Lauren on searches for engineering jobs. She is one of few recruiters with an excellent understanding of the specific skills required for specific positions.

It is good to know that she is there to work with you when you need it. I highly recommend her.” Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, Creative –J.T.

“It was with great satisfaction to work with Lauren and Jackie during the recruitment process. This was the first time in 12 years that I had looked for a position outside my former employer and Lauren and Jackie certainly made the process go smoothly. They were both very personable and professional during the entire process. I was always kept well informed of any new developments and they always followed up. Lauren and Jackie’s high regard for the company I was seeking employment with gave me the confidence that the firm would be the right fit for me. The enthusiasm that they showed during the recruiting process was certainly a plus. I would highly recommend Lauren and Jackie to anyone looking to grow their professional career.” –L.F.

“Over the course of my 20-year consulting engineering career I’ve worked with several executive recruiters, both as a hiring agent and as a client. Lauren Byrne is by far the most professional, thorough, and effective recruiter I’ve been associated with. As a hiring agent, Lauren consistently referred qualified candidates that fit my needs. As Lauren’s client, I was very impressed with her approach of interviewing me and my three references, developing a profile that accurately described my personality, and then matching my profile to the cultures of consulting engineering firms. The result of Lauren’s efforts was a perfect cultural fit for my style and an incredible opportunity to advance my career. I have recommended Lauren’s services to several colleagues and will continue to do so; there’s no reason to waste time with any other recruiter.” –P.S.P, PE | Principal, Director of Water Services

“Lauren worked on three retained searches in a row for our water group across three different geographies. She consistently produced top level candidates, in many cases bringing to us known players whom we were unaware would be open to our firms’ opportunity. They were highly qualified in her process for making the move, and we were able to secure each of the candidates we went after with Lauren’s help. In addition to the searches, she also brought us an outstanding seller/doer in a different discipline, whom we were also able to hire.

Overall we have been extremely satisfied with Lincoln & Creed’s dedication, persistence and industry knowledge and we would definitely use their services again.” –B.A., Senior Vice President
