Working with Maria to fill staffing needs has always been a positive experience. She truly invests the time and attention needed to ensure the best candidate is placed. I constantly recommend her to people I know who are looking for a job as well as employers looking to fill positions.
CFO
I have worked with Maria as both a client and candidate since 2002. In business you look for results and Maria has provided results every time I have worked with her. When I needed candidates, she provided multiple Qualified applicants every time. When I was in need of a new position, she provided significant help and although not referred by her, Maria called the hiring manager and endorsed my qualifications…. Maria is a true professional.
Maria Calvillo personifies integrity, unparalleled business acumen and top-notch responsibility in the executive recruitment field. She helped us find qualified executives in marketing, sales, and QA. She is dedicated to her craft, conducts the due diligence required and gives both the individual and the company the insights necessary to arrive at a crucial hiring decision.
Quality Affairs Leader
I have been working with Maria in Career Coaching through this last year 2023/2024. Her decades of experience and expertise have benefitted my career with such professionalism and efficiencies in identifying specific management styles, communication skills and implementation tools. Her attention to detail and follow-up exceeded my expectations. Our last fiscal year has been the most profitable in the history of our 18-year company. I highly recommend all her services for your growth and future business success.
Quality Affairs Leader
I have had the privilege of working closely with Maria during my recruitment process, and she has not only played a pivotal role in placing me in an excellent company but has also served as an exceptional career coach. Maria possesses a unique combination of professional acumen, genuine empathy, and an unwavering commitment to helping others succeed.
What truly sets Maria apart is her ability to understand individual strengths, aspirations, and challenges, and tailor her approach accordingly. She took the time to listen attentively to my concerns, offer constructive feedback, and provide practical advice that was tailored to my unique circumstances. Her mentorship extended beyond just securing a job; she invested in my long-term development, offering guidance on networking, professional development opportunities, and strategies for career advancement.
HR Manager
Have you ever sent your resume to several companies or sign up for their services to find out, they did not really try to place you to be THE perfect match, not just for the company but for you? Their only concern was to get a “candidate” hired so they could collect the fee?! I am sure that has happened to you many times. Some companies only “read” your resume but do not take the time to establish a genuine client-recruiter relationship that will get you a long working relationship, find you an employer you will be happy working for and a job that you will love to go to daily.
I met Maria Calvillo over 20 years ago, she did not just only find me my first job in this country at a high level , great place to work in San Antonio, amazing salary, coaching, at an Oil and Gas company owned by one of Texas billionaires, oil and gas tycoon. … I could keep going with EVERYTHING I found and was blessed with, from the first day I met her. Maria took the time to get to know me, my preferences, work ethic, she takes the time to meet her clients and companies she will be placing her candidates at, and she provided me with an end-to-end process. She reviewed my resume, helped me improve it, shared it with the companies she felt I would be a great fit for (she has an amazing sense for that), she coached me prior to my interviews based on the clients.
Every single time I needed her help, she picked up the phone. A client-recruiter relationship turned into a beautiful friendship of over 2 decades now. I would only recommend a person/company if you are a job seeker, MarCal Recruiting!
