Michael has recruited and consulted for me on many occasions (over 30). His commitment to our company and the candidates comes through both in his dedication and sincere insights into his work. On occasion he got to know us well enough to say “you will like candidate A, but candidate B is best for you for the following reasons…”. He was right on those occasions and many others. The metrics of the average stay of an employee worked for us as well (about 4.2 years). Our company grew substantially through his efforts. He also helped us acquire another company and opened the door to business opportunities as well. I highly recommend him and his team.

Lyle WexlerCorporate Director of Communications

Michael Schlager is a natural networker and networking is a major key nowadays in finding a great opportunity. In the autumn months of 2011, Michael was instrumental in putting me in contact with IT professionals and Baltimoreans, thereby jump-starting my job search in the Baltimore area. Michael’s creative outlook, “can do” attitude, warmth, and good-natured personality make him a pleasure to interact with. Michael is resourceful and has great follow-up skills. If you’re looking for an IT Recruiter, I would recommend Michael Schlager!

David SawilowskySr. Business Analyst

I am happy to recommend Michael Schlager to anyone who is in need of a dedicated, resourceful, passionate, creative recruiter. Having worked with Michael over a period of several years, I can predict these outcomes when you engage Michael: (1) He will give you premier service; (2) His energy level and creativeness will push your envelope; (3) He will make a significant contribution to your staff AND to your recruiting and hiring processes; and, (4) His results will exceed your expectations.

Michael gets people–even when they don’t get themselves…his unerring ability to hone in on the skill sets a client need combined with his ability to get people to find skills they sometimes didn’t know they possessed make him a one of a kind resource…in more ways than one. If you want a relationship that’s about ultra competence and exceeding expectations…Michael’s your man.

Adam JacobsManaging Director at the Aish Center

I’ve sought Michael Schlager’s counsel on numerous occasions when considering either major business planning or human resources issues. He is insightful, passionate in his convictions, and not afraid to argue an unpopular position. Michael is an excellent devil’s advocate. I wouldn’t make a big move without at least his opinion, if not his blessing.

Dan Goldfine

I’ve known Michael for many years, and know him to be a very driven, hard-working person. He is also insightful and innovative in his approach to problem solving. His defining trait however is that he truly cares about helping people, and his efforts to help others in both his work and his personal life go beyond what anyone would expect.
