TESTIMONIALS
Holly Buchanan, Director of Administrative Operations at Major, Lindsey & Africa
"I have worked with David Goldman as both a Candidate and a Client. It is without hesitation that I give him top marks and strongly recommend his services.
As a candidate, he found me my dream job, offering support at every step of the way. He worked with me to improve my resume, listened carefully to my needs in order to find a match for my search criteria, coached me throughout the entire process, and successfully negotiated my salary. He followed up several times after my start date to make sure the job was a fit, and that I was happy and adjusting well. The job search process is a stressful one, and David assuaged my fears and coached me to hone my interview skills. It felt as though he took a personal interest in finding me the perfect job.
I am now a client of Ruby Peak Recruiting, and David has placed 7 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!"

"David is a sensational Consultant. He consistently impressed me with his ability to repeatedly locate and place the best candidates for his clients."
Nancy Katz, Senior Director at Costanoa Ventures
"If you are looking for a recruiter who will find you the perfect employee quickly, efficiently and with the highest integrity, David Goldman and Ruby Peak are your answer. We have used David on several searches and all have been filled with fantastic candidates. Unlike many recruiters who will fill a schedule with candidates, only a few of whom meet your needs, David saves you time by truly getting to know what you are looking for and providing you with only the best candidates. He is thorough professional throughout, but is also just a great person to work with. While I'm thrilled with the assistant I just hired, who has more skills than I could have dreamed of, I'm sad not to have the opportunity to interact with David very often any more. I cannot possibly recommend him more highly."
Brian Renehan, Senior Vice President, WSP USA

David Garth, Principal, The Parallax Corporation
"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!"
Lisa Ruggeri, Experienced Talent Acquisition Professional
"I have now worked with David as both a colleague and client, and believe I can adequately speak to his level of professionalism and expertise in a well-rounded way. David works with the highest level of integrity and respect for both his candidates and his clients, and will take the extra time to truly understand the needs of both without sacrificing efficiency. His focus on quality will allow him to continually be able to forge long lasting business relationships. I would recommend his services to anyone."
Garrett Gentry, Executive Recruiter in AI
"I began working with David as a colleague in 2006, then hired him and Ruby Peak to staff our administrative and executive assistant roles at Palantir Technologies. I knew from working alongside him in the agency that over the years David had cultivated a deep network of the best executive assistants in the Bay Area, all of whom respect his work tremendously. He learned our company deeply and, using his keen intuition and judiciousness, competed with other recruiters to quickly send the right candidates we hired."
Dayna Rothman, Chief Marketing Officer, Censys
"David recently placed me in a fantastic job at a truly unique company! Throughout the process David was extremely professional, thorough, honest, and attentive. He really took the time to consider my skills and attributes when deciding if he had a position that may be a fit. When David decided that he did have one in mind, he ensured that the process was smooth, he made me feel at ease, and he truly took a personal approach to recruiting. He returned all of my phone calls in a timely manner and really advocated for me as the process progressed.
I would highly recommend David to both companies looking to hire a quality recruiter and to candidates that are looking for employment. He really made sure that the entire process was both seamless and painless!"
