"I first worked with Wells Blair three years ago when they placed me with a new company, and also assisted me in several job orders when I was with that company. Over the last ten years I have worked with recruiters and have not found one better than Wells Blair. I value their honesty, their realistic view of the marketplace, and their extensive network of tax candidates. When I’m asked for a recommendation, Wells Blair is always at the top of that list."

Tasheaya, Senior Tax Adviser

"I strongly recommend Wells Blair. They helped me transition from a company I had been with for nearly 20 years to a company that has been an excellent fit. I had the feeling during the entire process that they were all about finding a good fit for me versus producing a commission for their company. They were responsive and very good at listening, which can be rare among recruiters."
