Comment from a placed customer:
"Heidi has helped me as an outside recruiter for the past three years. Before I moved to Portland I had a poor image of what an outside recruiting agency could do for me as an employer. In fact, I wouldn't use them ever. Heidi changed that attitude for me in a very positive way. She definitely earns the fees she charges. I have hired numerous successful employees through Heidi that have been great success stories. I would, without question, recommend Heidi Nelson and her recruiting services to anyone. She is awesome!"

" Car People has been consistent throughout the years. Wade has been persistent in helping me in my career since the early 1990's. He has been consistent and caring in finding me appropriate positions that fit my background"

You are so wonderful Heidi. Thank you. I can't express my gratitude to you for being so quick in finding
me a job. And for all the chances you took on me. Your faith in me and how well I would do at this
position is overwhelming. I have never had someone go out on such a limb for me before. I have never
dealt with such efficiency. You are great!

" Heidi, thank you so much for your help in obtaining my future employment. I look forward to working with you again but on the hiring side of things. I think all roads led to you a couple of weeks ago when I was laid off. This position feels so good to me. The other jobs I was looking and trying for just didn't fit like this one does."

She really listened to not only what kind of a job I was looking for but what kind of a company I wanted to work for.

"Car People is always there for me. Heidi is attentive, professional and she never gives up. I know she truly cares and I am important to her. I've never met anyone in my 50 years that is really a stranger but cares about me. She goes the extra mile, never cuts me off but instead takes the time to hear me out and be a sounding board for me. When I was recently laid off she helped me get through a tough situation and quickly placed me in my new job. Thanks for being so positive and believing in me.

When I decided to look for a new job I contacted Car People, Inc. to see what they were like. I was hesitant because I'd never contacted a staffing service before. I immediately found them to be very personable and easy to work with. Heidi was great and made things very easy for me in my job search. This is a fantastic job she got for me at Courtesy Ford. I really like working for the Dealer Principal and the rest of the staff !

The first thing that comes to mind when giving a testimonial for Car People is Heidi's enthusiasm for her job and her enthusiasm to help her customers. She really made my day when I came in for an interview. She was very helpful to me and appreciative of my experience and talent as an Office Manager in the car business. She really works hard to match her applicants with the job openings she has.. But most of all her enthusiasm was wonderful!

I just recently came out of a Volkswagen store as Service Manager. I was amazed and impressed with the service Car People provided for me. They are well informed and have the job leads.

Compared with your competition in other cities you never sent anyone that wasn't qualified and didn't want to be in Boise, Idaho. I have talked to lots of different recruiters and you really did your homework. You were very patient with me and I can be difficult to work for. You really earned your stripes and want to thank you for helping me find the right match for the Controller position open at BRONCO MOTORS.

" Using Car People was the easiest thing I've ever done. I told my fiancé that I'd move up to Portland from Southern Oregon to be with her as soon as I found a new job. Wade at Car People got me one faster than I could believe."

Mr Roger Ronning
Placed Service Advisor
Wade,
As you well know I have been in the auto-service business for 28 years and am a
single parent. I was seeking an upgrade on my job for several reasons,
needing for income and dollars & desiring to work for a large company rather
than an independent dealer, to hopefully increase my benefit package. You
achieved both for me. I always thought I could do it on my own, but not
having the necessary inside connections made it difficult. You, on the
other hand were able to not only make it happen for me but, also make it
possible to spend absolutely NO wasted time with false hopeful's. For all
your efforts I am extremely grateful! I will not hesitate to refer my
friends to your firm, as I do highly respect a job well done. Once again,
thanks for the good service.

Mr. Pat Howard
Placed Controller
Heidi, I feel you and your company handled my placement very professionally and expertly. You waited until you found a good fit while others would have sent me out on anything close. You thoroughly researched my references and background. I understood what the job was and the pay. In short, I recommended to several other hiring manager's they should call you as you were very good at what you do. My new employer also appreciated your lower fees. We will certainly use your firm and you in the future should any need arise.

Mr Trace Salmon

The best thing for me is that you really went to bat for me. You knew all of the Service Managers both professionally and personally. You gave me a sense of what each place is like. I got to choose where I wanted to go and it's free. ( Trace had five years at his last Ford Dealership and had a great references from his past Service Manager. The manager said Trace was a team player. )

I would always highly recommend Car People to anyone looking for an automotive position. Heidi and Wade have a unique ability to seek out the most beneficial opportunities and offer placements where your strengths will be best used. They worked within my parameters and proposed a suitable position almost immediately. Truly an impressive organization!
Ralph Keys

I wanted to thank you for the incredibly strong, professional job Car People did in representing me to the dealers in the Portland area. You scheduled three interviews in the week following my first contact with you, and the third interview was then one that landed me my present job. In my book, that's absolutely the best that anyone has ever done for me. You guys dig right in and you get results. No one could ask for any more than that. Thanks, you're the best.
