“To say I love, and value AJ is an understatement! AJ has been my coach. He has been a sounding board. He will challenge me, push me to go out of my comfort zone, and will often have me step back and take an objective view. He has helped me to be my own independent leader, authentic to myself. AJ is someone people trust! He is approachable, easy to speak with, and people trust him immensely and feel 100% comfortable telling him anything. With AJ, I feel like I always have a partner who has my best interest in mind all the time, I have support, he will be honest with me, and he will be there. Period.”
- Lisa N., Director
“I was truly lucky to have the opportunity to work with AJ after I graduated from college and was looking for work. No more than a couple days after I met with him he was able to set me up with an opportunity to work with yelp.com and they have recently hired me on as an Account Executive. AJ is a person you want to have in your corner. He is hardworking, personable, and great at what he does, I recommend him to anyone.”
– Michael C., Recruiting Leader
“Working with AJ during my career search was a great experience. I was looking to make a transition from the public sector into the private sector as a Recruiter. AJ assisted with interview preparation and I was fortunate to find a job within a week of beginning my search. In addition to finding a job within a week of working with AJ, the company I was placed with has a very rigorous interview process and it can be difficult to get your foot in the floor. AJ listens to what you’re looking for in an employer in addition to what the employer is looking for. I enjoyed working with AJ and working with him was one of the best decisions I made and have recommended him to a number of friends. Since working with AJ I have been fortunate to continue moving in my career in my desired direction and don’t regret making the change! Thanks AJ!”

“I moved to California after graduating college, looking for a fresh new start. I was applying for jobs on craigslist and various other job boards religiously. I was getting nervous that I wouldn’t be able to find a job, and have to move back to my home state... I received a call from AJ Mizes who was my “saving angel” during the whole process. After interacting with him, and seeing the compassion he has for people, I knew I was in good hands. AJ has gone above and beyond and made this experience that much more enjoyable. If it weren’t for him, I would still be applying to jobs on craigslist. Thank you AJ for all your help and hard work, I will never forget it!”
– Monika, Project Manager

– Ashley M., Manager, Partner Talent Programs
“AJ helped me land a permanent role at a startup based out of San Francisco. I worked with AJ for the past 6 months while he did everything in his power to help me land a position at the company. AJ was fantastic at finding a role that I could see myself grow into, at a smaller company with a culture that fit perfectly with my goals and aspirations. He was always available for discussion and feedback, and never had a problem with sharing honest and helpful opinions. AJ is somebody with a great level of detail and attention to his associates, I would never hesitate to utilize AJ again in helping me find a job.”

“AJ is the gold standard...AJ is a great balance of approachable, calming and pragmatic which makes working with him a real human experience. He creates a sense of safety that allows you to be vulnerable but it is also not afraid to have difficult conversations. He is proactive, anticipates the next steps so I don’t have to and delivers high quality work/experiences without fail. AJ’s ability to relate at all levels of the organization and to coach without judgement is a gift. AJ has been a significant source of support for me (and my team).”
- Caroline M., Director
“AJ is just a joy to work with. In partnering with him I’ve learned new concepts and methodologies for bringing out the best in teams, and have since leveraged and re-leveraged. This impact is enormous and will help every person bring their best form of leadership to each other...and to the world. He’s kind, friendly, funny and passionate. He moves fast, follows through and brings everyone along. His competence is off the charts and he takes the work seriously, but doesn’t take himself too seriously. I jump at any opportunity to work with him.”
- Megan M., Manager
