Andy Spero, Ph.D. - EVP Model Development at Regions Financial Corporation & CEO at Spero Risk Associates

Simply put, Lin is the best recruiter with whom I worked. It is EXTREMELY difficult to recruit top quantitative talent from outside of Alabama to Birmingham, but Lin made it substantially easier. When we were growing both model development and model risk, she helped recruit five experienced managers and many analysts. Moreover, she operated professionally, tirelessly, effectively, and efficiently; she quickly learned what we wanted, thoroughly screened candidates--especially regarding relocation--and communicated appropriately with all parties. I wholeheartedly recommend Lin as an executive and quantitative recruiter.

Andy Blokhin, Ph.D. - Senior Scientific Consultant at SAP

There are several traits that clearly characterize Lin's approach to talent search: excellent knowledge of human nature, high work ethics, deep individual expertise in multiple business areas, sincere interest in finding the right match between the expectations of the firm and the candidate, and her unbelievable persistence. She did find me the right position, even when I felt I had no desire to look into the market, and she did find the right arguments to convince me. After all, I am truly glad that she did because, after a few years of uncertainty, I am finally feeling that it is the right place and the right time.
