Testimonials

Fueling your business with the power of people

I learned very quickly after starting to work with Fuel that I could count on them! I handed them a challenging project and they rose to the occasion with exceptional results. They not only found me candidates, they sent me many QUALIFIED candidates! They have stellar communication skills and never left me wondering where their team was in their efforts. As a hiring manager, I believe in having strong connections with the recruiting community, but I'm also very picky about whom I partner with and Fuel is at the top of my list.”

Their strong understanding of our company values allowed them to present incredible candidates who not only met the job requirements, but were also perfect fits for our culture.

Marc, CEO

Fuel Talent are awesome. They were enthusiastic and listened to us. The result was we interviewed great candidates. What more could you want.

Phil Bosua, KnowLabs 

About a year ago we were struggling to find strong candidates for our sales and engineering roles in Seattle. The agencies we had partnered with were not able to provide the quality candidates we look for and need. When we met Shauna we knew immediately that we wanted to work with her team. Since starting our partnership, they have provided a high quality of service, are available when you need them, and always submit top notch candidates. 

Rachel, Whitepages, Lead Recruiter 

I started [our hiring] process with three partners but after a few months working
with Fuel, I dropped the other firms. Fuel found the most effective candidates for us.

Remitly, Director of Product Design

Fuel has been an indispensable partner for growing our organization over the years. They’ve invested in our success, taking the time to understand and adapt to our needs and always finding strong, compatible candidates. Once placed, they follow through by helping grow the relationship between employee and company.
