“This is the easiest one to write… I have known and worked with Chris for over ten years and have many data points from which to reference when I say that Chris is sharp, efficient, effective, and a pleasure to work with!!!

Chris and TheCoTeam helped me and the SFA team with key placements of two of our team members. We are a small team, so finding the right people counts. More than two years on, SFA continues to grow and these two teammates have grown alongside us as well as an operator and strategic thinker, Chris understands business needs and is able to identify the right fit for the team.

I look forward to working with Chris and TheCoTeam again and would strongly recommend him.

Thanks, Chris!!”

“I highly recommend Chris Smith whose guidance has been invaluable to me in my pursuit of a new career opportunity.

Chris possesses a unique blend of professional expertise, deep industry knowledge, and a genuine commitment to helping others succeed. His feedback was constructive, actionable, and designed to help me stand out in a competitive field. Chris’s ability to not only provide strategic advice but also offer emotional support during the sometimes stressful job search process. His network is extensive, and he introduced key professionals in my desired field. He helped me land a position that aligns with my professional strengths and personal aspirations.

I can’t recommend Chris highly enough. His mentorship has been a game-changer in my career, and I’m grateful for the time, energy, and wisdom he shared with me.”

Rob Salvo, Director of Sales & Marketing
Electronic Environments

“I can’t say enough about how great our experience was with The CoTeam. They took all the headaches out of hiring for a smaller company like ours. We’ve historically used recruiters to fill key roles at our company and have NOT had good success.

Chris’ process is unlike anything we’ve used before. He basically comes on as a member of your team and acts as your hiring manager. 

TheCoTeam creates job adds, vets the applicants, sifts through the junk & only sends the qualified applicants to you. He even performs the first interview to make sure the candidate is not a waste of time, so you’re only seeing the vetted applicants.

I’ll continue to use Chris and The Co-Team for the foreseeable future. The investment is well worth the money!
