Linda Strahan-Cordial (#3927) of Search Partners of North America in Noblesville, IN, USA, nominated Patrick Long (NPA #1346) of Provision People in Solana Beach, CA, USA, in the Business Results category.

Linda said: "I am writing to extend my heartfelt appreciation for the outstanding support I have received during my initial placement with NPA. In particular, I would like to express my gratitude to Patrick Long.  I faced the challenging task of finding a Korean-speaking Project Engineer with a background in factory automation, willing to undertake 90% travel. The candidate also needed to be a Permanent Resident or US Citizen with excellent English communication skills. Not an easy search."
 
"Patrick Long excels as an exporter by attentively understanding the position's requirements and meticulously screening candidates, ensuring a thoughtful and targeted approach rather than a scattergun tactic," Linda said. "I commend his team for their thorough screening of candidates and for providing detailed candidate profiles. You and your team were great to work with! I hope to do more business with you."
 
"Furthermore, I want to extend a special appreciation to Marcia for her invaluable support in facilitating connections with recruiters, in particular for her recommendation of Patrick.  She has also recommended several other recruiters that I hope to engage with in the future," Linda added. "I've reached out to Marcia on numerous occasions for assistance with the database, navigating the system, and seeking advice on importers. Thank you for your unwavering support, even for returning my call while you were on vacation!"
 
"Thank you and I look forward to meeting and working with more of my peers in the NPA network," Linda added.
 
Patrick, thank you for being such a dependable trading partner! Great work!
