VP of Business Development

Mark was a pleasure to work with and was only looking out for my best interests, which is hard to find and it made the process easy and quick. Lots of options that fit what I was looking for as well as companies that were looking for candidates with my skill set. I am now in my 5^th year with the company and I couldn’t be happier with where I am in my career, Thanks to Mark.

Landon Toth

Business Development

Mark Curtis is an outstanding recruiter. I was identified for a sales role that I would never have considered and it turned out to be the best career move I have ever made! Mark is very professional, thorough and consistently went the extra mile which is why I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Crown Jewel Recruitment. If you are a hiring manager recruiting new staff or a passive candidate looking for career advice I would highly recommend Mark and his team.
