What Mackey & Guasco Staffing corporate clients have to say about them…

“Maureen was extremely helpful in reaching out to her client and making an introduction. There aren't enough HR people like Maureen who will pick up the phone and try to make things happen.”

Rich Spitz, Owner, Spitz Consulting Systems

“Maureen has been my friend and a close associate since 2001. She is a tireless professional with high energy, a strong work ethic, strong core values and a passion for what she does. She balances the needs of two client bases (employers and candidates) with little effort, making both simultaneously feel like they are her priority. I am proud to know her, to recommend her and to call her my friend.”

David Lewis, President / CEO, OperationsInc. LLC and President / CEO, AllCountyJobs.com

“Maureen is the living example of Malcolm Gladwell's "connector". She has a knack for making friends, a gift for bringing people together, and a talent for making good things happen. I have been the recipient of her generous networking and also a client of her firm. I appreciate the commitment and energy she brings to her work and the personable way she goes about doing it!”

“I have had the pleasure of knowing Luisa for a number of years now. She has both helped me in my own personal job search as well as been a HUGE help to me when it has come to the recruiting efforts I have taken on as part of my current role.

Luisa is always pleasant and upbeat. She has an exceptional work ethic and I am honored to call her an HR colleague as well as a friend. Her interpersonal skills are unlike any other and what I admire most is that she takes on all assignments with enthusiasm and dedication.

Regardless of deadlines or other pressures, Luisa always delivers. I look forward to our continued partnership and highly recommend her as a trusted HR professional.”

Lorena Lupinacci, Manager of Human Resources, Anton/Bauer

“Lu Guasco is without a doubt head and shoulders above any recruiter I've worked with in Westchester NY / CT. She has a knack for pairing job openings with the right candidate. She is honest, responsive, always willing to provide feedback, and has an incredible amount of integrity. I highly recommend Lu and the staff of Mackey & Guasco!!”

Lori DiMaria D'Amico, Compensation Coordinator, PepsiCo

“Lu has been a pleasure to work with since I was referred to her several years ago. I continue to refer people to her and her firm because they are one of the most warm and helpful staffing agencies I know. I consider her an expert in the industry and value her ideas and opinions. I recommend that if anyone is considering making a move in their career to contact her.”

Erika Nachman, HR & Recruiting Manager, Synapse Group Inc.

“Luisa is well connected in the HR field in Fairfield county. She does an excellent job of representing her clients and candidates. Luisa helped me land a position with Diageo by getting me to focus and refine my skills and resume when returning to the workforce. Because of the position at Diageo, I was able to springboard into my current position at Hewitt Associates.”

What Mackey & Guasco Staffing candidates (job seekers) have to say about them…

“I have contracted through Mackey & Guasco Staffing for about 2.5 years for three of their clients. I have also worked directly for them in their offices and seen how both Maureen and Lu work closely with clients to provide them the best talent and services. We go back to 2007 when I had my first assignment with them. When they say that they are all about relationships, they mean it! They are client-focused, zeroing in on specific needs; and ensuring they provide the right talent match - staying in touch and keeping a pulse on each assignment and placement.”

Judy Benedek, Contract Recruiter, Mackey & Guasco Staffing LLC

“I moved back to CT and I registered with Mackey & Guasco. I came in to meet them and was impressed by their friendliness and professionalism. They found me a contract position within a couple of weeks!! They were a lifesaver and became my friends for life. Some agencies will send you on a job even though you are not a fit which wastes everybody's time. Not Mackey & Guasco! They will find the right role for you guaranteed. You will not find a better agency trust me!!”

Sheree Daye, HR Consultant

“Lu is an astute humanistic manager who truly understands the intricacies in the job market today. She intuitively understands the needs of both employer and the job search candidate. Lu gained my respect as she creatively assessed my unique circumstances and background. As a newcomer to Fairfield County, I appreciated the collaborative way that she worked with me, evaluated my skills, and provided interesting opportunities. She is with you 100%...a diligent partner during my search.

I recommend Lu to anyone, employer or employee, who wants a creative professional who can perfectly assess each situation so that employer and employee mutually feel they have found the perfect fit.”

Mackey & Guasco Staffing has been the main support for me during a tough time and even tougher economy. I have enjoyed working for them and will always be singing their name in any opportunity that comes up. They have been truly a first-class agency and one of the best I have dealt with hands down.

I accepted a "temp to perm" position with one of their clients and now have a permanent position for the first time in over four years and it is closer in line with my experience and education than I would have ever thought could happen at this stage!

I am super excited right now and would not have had this possibility without Mackey and Guasco.
