Ransom has had a long, successful relationship with Ben and Smith & Wilkinson over the years. Ben has placed many great candidates in all of Ransom’s offices throughout New England and New Jersey.
Elizabeth Cote, HR Manager at Ransom Consulting, LLC
I had the privilege of working with Ben on a number of engineering and operations leadership searches at Aqua America. I found Ben to be excellent to work with. His in-depth knowledge of the utility industry was a huge benefit to the success of the recruiting efforts. Additionally, I was really impressed with Ben’s ability to develop strong rapport with both candidates and hiring leaders. I would highly recommend partnering with Ben for your recruiting needs.
