To whom it may concern:
I am writing this letter to recommend Murgence as an excellent search firm to find qualified engineers in the high technology area.

Murgence did an excellent job filling our Senior Process Engineer position at Extreme Devices. We had spent some time trying to fill this position through local advertisements and were unsuccessful. When we engaged Murgence we knew that this would be a tough search. We were very pleased with their responsiveness and the short amount of time the search took to find quality applicants and are very pleased with the employee we hired through Murgence.

I would recommend Murgence for any of your search needs in the future.

Sincerely,
Keith Jamison, Ph.D.
