I had the pleasure of working closely with Brandon during my recent job search, and I can confidently say that he is exceptional and professional. Brandon demonstrated an impressive level of expertise in understanding both the employer's needs and my career aspirations. He took the time to truly understand my skills, experiences, and preferences, ensuring that I was matched with opportunities that aligned perfectly with my goals. Throughout the entire process, Brandon was incredibly supportive and communicative. He kept me informed at every step, providing valuable insights and guidance that helped me navigate the interview process with ease. His attention to detail and dedication to ensuring a seamless experience truly set his agency apart. Thanks to Brandon's efforts, I was able to secure a fantastic opportunity that I am truly excited about. I cannot recommend Brandon highly enough to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, attentive, and results-driven recruiter. It was a pleasure working with him, and I have no doubt that his agency will continue to excel going forward.
Brandon Kostelic is the best recruiter I have ever worked with. He was attentive, caring, detail oriented, and made sure that not only was the job a good fit for me, but that I was a good fit for the job. He uses a perfect combination of new technology, leveraging AI and machine learning, and traditional hard work to find the right candidates for executive roles. He ensured that the first offer I received after the interview process was at my desired salary and bonus, ran through scenarios with me, and checked up after each interaction with my prospective employer. If you need to fill a role or find the perfect job for the next phase of your career, The Kostelic Agency should be your number one choice!
I worked with Brandon from the candidate position in summer 2023. From our first meeting he was always most interested in what I wanted for my career and never tried to push me towards a role that wasn’t a great fit for me personally. He had a position where he thought I was what they were looking for, the interviews went well, I received a strong offer, I’ve now started my new job! I couldn’t be happier with how the entire process went from start to finish. Great communication, transparent dialogue, and a true partnership approach to a negotiation. I’d highly recommend Brandon (and TKA) if you are looking to advance your career, and I fully anticipate using him for my hiring needs in the future.
I rarely use external recruiters, but my outstanding team was having difficulty finding a VP of Finance that fit our unique requirements and culture. Brandon was referred to me and I was skeptical, but after talking with him I decided it was worth a shot. Brandon was extremely engaged with me from day one and delivered several outstanding candidates within 10 days. All of the candidates were excellent, but one was incredible. Brandon fully understood what we needed and delivered exceptional candidates immediately. He helped us through the offer stage and helped me keep our candidate engaged constantly between offer and start date. We have a fantastic new hire and a great external recruiter if we can't find someone through our internal recruiters. Brandon is fantastic!
I highly recommend Brandon as a recruiter. He found me a position that aligned with my career goals and checked all of my boxes. He also continuously checked in on me to see how I was feeling during the process, helped me weigh pros and cons, and wanted to make sure that I was comfortable with the position and the offer. Additionally, I was making a move across the country for this position and he helped tremendously with not just finding the job, but also took the time to give me recommendations (restaurants/activities/areas to live) and checked in to make sure I made it and was getting settled. The entire time he was my number 1 supporter and made sure I was comfortable from the beginning of the process through my first day at the job. He was fantastic and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to help me through this process!
Brandon was the best recruiter I've ever worked with hands down! Brandon found me some super exciting roles that were perfect for what I told him I wanted to do next in my career. During the interview process he was extremely communicative about what was going on behind the scenes and what and when I could expect to hear back from the hiring company. At the end of the process, I did get an offer that was honestly the most perfect fit for me that I could imagine. Brandon was awesome! He didn't want to just find me a job, he wanted to find me the right job. If you're looking for or looking to fill any Finance or Accounting roles, Brandon and Lucas Group are the ones to help. Thanks again Brandon!!! It was really a pleasure working with you.
I worked with Brandon Kostelic who recently placed me at AvAir LLC, and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking employment within accounting & finance in and around the Phoenix area. Brandon was extremely diligent and amazingly receptive to my requirements for both compensation and job requirements. He went above and beyond for me both professionally and personally, while providing timely feedback and constant follow ups. Brandon truly cares for his clients and I would highly recommend his recruiting services.
I recently had the pleasure of working with The Kostelic Agency , and I must say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. From the initial consultation to landing an interview, every step of the process was handled with professionalism, efficiency, and genuine care. What impressed me most was his communication. Other agencies will have the initial call and forget you exist but he made sure you were taken care of. Great agency to work with.
Brandon introduces me a tax director position in Wilson Sonsini, a large law firm. This is an industry change for me. He guided me with quite a few calls, explained the job description as well as the management expectations. Before each interview, he and his team coached me on possible interview questions, concerns that I should address, making answers professionally, topics that I should try avoid etc. I benefit from their help greatly, and got the job I want.
He also assisted me on accepting the offer, salary negotiation. I am very happy to work with Brandon and his firm. Thank you!
Moving across country without the comfort of having work lined up could have been a stressful experience – fortunately, I connected with Brandon. He and the team at Lucas Group were all approachable, welcoming and encouraging. With every opportunity that Brandon presented to me I was reassured that he had my best interest at front of mind – each opportunity was not just a job; it was also a great fit. It is my strong belief that Brandon and the team at Lucas Group would be an asset to anyone seeking employment in the Phoenix area.
Brandon found my dream job! He’s upfront yet professional and friendly. He listens and puts himself in his client's shoes. He communicates and represents well for his client. He’s accountable and trustworthy!
Brandon is an amazing recruiter, he identified the perfect position for me and guided me through the entire process. He made sure all my questions were answered and after getting the position he followed up with me to confirm I was happy at my new role. I would (and had) recommended him to my friends and colleagues looking for new opportunities
