"Ruby Peak Recruiting is like no other agency I've ever experienced.  David Goldman has been the BEST recruiter, advisor, principal, etc anyone could ever ask for.  He doesn't play any games, nor will he waste your time.  He's very smart, genuine and sincere!  He's assisted me with phone interviews and in-person interviews - even if it was through another agency.  I recommend Ruby Peak Recruiting!  Ruby Peak Recruiting definitely sets one of the highest standards out there!  I urge you all to experience this GREAT agency!  Thanks for everything David! YOU ROCK!!!  

Lisa T., Candidate

"I am thrilled to report that David Goldman found me a fantastic position that is a complete fit for me - I couldn't be happier.  I wholeheartedly recommend David to anyone who is looking to work with a recruiter.   He combines a warm, personable approach with superior industry knowledge, creativity and integrity.  David has been with me 100% from beginning to end, and continues to impress me with his follow up and commitment to my career and happiness."

Dayna R., Candidate

"I highly recommend David at Ruby Peak Recruiting.  I got laid off in July and had been out of work for 2.5 months.  Having a background in HR and having negative experiences with other recruiting firms in San Francisco, I was skeptical.  But, because I had been out of work for so long, I figured that I may as well give him a try, plus the great yelp reviews really helped boost my confidence about the situation.

During our first meeting David was very thorough, honest, and seemed to ask the right questions.  He thought he had a good fit for me and we decided to pursue the opportunity.  Throughout the process, David was attentive, reliable, and really advocated for me and my needs.  He even coached me on interview skills and had a very personal approach to his placement technique.

I ended up getting the job and am very pleased!  The job is extremely unique, very exciting, and a great fit.  I highly recommend Ruby Peak and David to anyone that is out of work and looking for a great new job!"

David G., Co-Founder, FMCG Manufacturing Co.

"David and Ruby Peak immediately developed a good understanding of my company's needs, helped educate us on the types of candidates we could/should expect for the position we were trying to fill, presented a range to us so that we could see for ourselves, added some creative ideas and managed the entire process smoothly and personably from start to finish (hire).  Highly recommended!"

Leezah F., Candidate

"I'm coming upon my one year anniversary with a company David assured me would be a great fit.  The year has flown by, and I truly feel like I finally have a job I love.  When I was interviewing, David coached me before the interview, followed up afterward and was very communicative about everything in between.  I highly recommend Ruby Peak Recruiting both for employers looking for the right 'fit' as well as anyone who wants a recruiter who cares about finding you the right job." 

Danielle L., Candidate

"David called me in for an interview after receiving my resume and I was immediately impressed with his professionalism and dedication. While every other recruiter turned me away as I was trying to relocate from San Diego, David worked with me and sent me on interviews with two wonderful companies. Ruby Peak Recruiting is interested in finding the highest quality candidates and matching them with the perfect opportunities; such a nice change from all the rest of the employment agencies only concerned about making a quick buck." 

Holly Buchanan, Administrative Manager, Major, Lindsey & Africa

"I am now a client of Ruby Peak Recruiting, and David has placed 3 fantastic employees for us.  He listens intently to every detail of our need, and works diligently to find both the skill set fit as well as the cultural fit.  His attention to detail and customer service exceed expectations.  He is an absolute pleasure to work with, and we wish him continued success.  Thank you, David!"

"Just wanted to drop you a line to say how great Sherri is working out.  She's been a great addition to the team and it's like a breath of fresh air having her here....Thanks so much for your good work."

Robert Buchanan, Senior Attorney, Buchanan Law Group

"I so appreciated David's attention to detail, communication and follow-up. If you are seeking to hire, and are thinking of going it alone, don't be foolish. Contact David. The time and energy you'll save, and the perfect fit in a candidate you'll end up with, are well worth it."

"Thank you again for helping me find my job... Words cannot describe how happy I am there.  I enjoy my job role as well as the wonderful people I am so fortunate to work with.  The environment is exactly what I would have chose myself; down to earth, kind people in a casual yet professional atmosphere.  It is everything and more than I could have hoped for.
...This job has had such a positive impact on my life and for that I will always be grateful to you.  Keep up the good work.  I wish you much success with Ruby Peak, you deserve it."
