It’s a real pleasure to write a recommendation for Jed Gifford because he delivers. His LinkedIn motto is, “If you’re interested in a career and not just a JOB Let’s Connect!” and he makes good on that claim. Jed is the very epitome of the phrase, “attention to detail” because he will catch things on your resume or LinkedIn site that slip through the most thorough proofreader. On top of that he is a Career Coach with a wide range of connections, a comprehensive knowledge of the job market and a great sense of humor. Looking for a “real” career? Give Jed a call.

Jed combines two traits are often found singularly, but rarely together: Enthusiastic and Thorough. We’ve all known people full of energy, but lacking the discipline and maturity to lead and complete projects. Jed is the contrary. He knows when it’s time to brainstorm with the best of them and when it’s time to implement and deliver relentless execution. As a professional, he’s a player you want on your team. As a person, you’re better off for knowing him.

Jed is a great guy to work with, and a person of high integrity.

I am a Junior attending (university confidential) and I reached out to Jed about potentially interning at (company confidential). Jed answered back to my E-mail right away asking to set up a meeting to talk. I spoke on the phone with Jed for about 30 minutes, he asked questions to get to know me from the inside out…Once we got off the phone he emailed me 5 companies, of which he had connections in, that had to do specifically with my major and the career path I am interested in. Jed continued to follow up with me for the next few months, asking how the search was going and if I had any potential internships. Jed went above and beyond what I could have ever asked of him. Jed truly invested his time to help me and really guided my search in finding an internship. Jed is exactly the type of person I hope to work for or with when I graduate. Jed will go out of his way to help anyone who reaches out to him. If he can’t help you personally, he will find someone who can and will make sure you are taken care of.

Jed is a genuine person with a passion for helping others. He has provided me invaluable career coaching, including reviewing and revising my resume, job search techniques and advice on how to expand my online presence and digital footprint.

Working with Jed Gifford was an experience that will not be soon forgotten. His energy and passion in the workplace is unparallelled. I was fortunate enough to be placed by Mr. Gifford in a position at (company confidential) and he continues to coach me on networking and career advancement. He is truly an asset to any company or individual who is lucky enough to work with him.

Jed is the epitome of a professional in everything he does. He is a consistent team player always offering advice or assistance whenever needed. Jed always finds time to network with every candidate that comes across his desk and that makes him an invaluable asset to any team. Not only does he provide excellent customer service to all of our clients he provides innovative ideas and sources for unique recruiting. Jed truly deserves the “super recruiter” title he has been given.

I have had the opportunity to work with Jed as a career coach for a few months now and have been very appreciative of his talents and in depth knowledge of HR, where the workforce is at now, and what is needed to job hunt at this point in time. Jed took the time to understand the sector that I am currently in and where I wanted to go. He is a good listener, was able to help me improve my resume as well as other supporting pieces, and good at teaching some of the soft skills needed to job hunt. I would recommend Jed to anyone that is looking to improve their footprint and presentation as well as how-to knowledge on looking for a new role in today’s market.
