I worked with Judy for some years as an attorney before she became a recruiter
and knew she would bring her enthusiasm, insight and integrity to the recruiting
profession. I know that Judy and Robin are very discriminating in who they
send to us, and do not send a parade of candidates who approximate but do
not meet our needs. When we get a resume from them, we know we've got a serious
candidate, often one we can move on. Their understanding of our legal and
personality requirements, combined with their personal approach to recruiting,
has produced high quality candidates who truly fit the position. Some of our
best talent has come from them.

When one of them calls me for a job, I know it's a real possibility for me
and will seriously consider what they have to say.

With their energy, integrity, and obvious pleasure in serving their clients,
Robin and Judy are a refreshing team in the world of recruiting. They have
an incredible intuition about what makes a good match. It was my pleasure
to work with them.

Robin and Judy listen carefully to our needs. We can count on their tireless
attention, their thorough understanding of the position requirements and appropriate
candidate skill set, as well as their sensitivity to matching a candidate's
style to the culture of our organization. Their continuous communication throughout
the progress of the search helps move the process forward and ensure that
the candidate is a good fit. They are a valuable partner to have on your side.

I believe that I have a somewhat unique relationship with Judy and Robin
in that I have been both placed by them and have used them to fill positions
on my team. As a job seeker, I appreciated their timely and accurate feedback
regarding the interviews and their endless support and "sage" advice
during the negotiation process. Now, as an attorney responsible for managing
a team of individuals, I count on them to supply only those candidates suitable
for an opening on my team. The folks at Sage are not only skilled recruiters
with an impressive database of talent, but they are experts in assessing the
capabilities and personalities of those individuals and providing only those
candidates with the right fit. As an employer, I have found Sage to
communicate often, resolve problems and issues promptly, and represent my
company in a totally professional manner. They truly enjoy what they're doing
and it shows.

Robin and Judy really understand IP, and not just the soft stuff. It is a
joy to work with recruiters who don't waste your time with technologies that
are off the mark - Robin's science background, in particular, is an important
plus to patent attorneys on both sides of the hiring process because the nuances
here really do matter. They both are extremely generous with their time, even
if it is unrelated to a specific search they are working. They are smart and
they'll be there for you.
-Michael Scaturro, Long Island, NY
Besides being easy to talk to, Robin and Judy devote much energy to encouraging
a candidate to think about and articulate what he or she is looking for. They
are the only recruiters I've encountered who make me feel like they have my
best interests in mind. They don't push too hard if a position is not completely
appropriate and will support a decision not to move if it seems right in a
particular situation. Their sincerity fosters loyalty - I can recommend Robin
and Judy without reservation.
- Robin Adelson, Executive Director, Children's Book Council, former Associate General Counsel, Primedia,
Inc.
Robin and Judy dedicated an enormous amount of time and hard work to helping
me change my career path. As a full-time PhD working in government, it was
not easy to return to private legal practice but they successfully placed
me as an associate in an established IP firm. Thanks to Sage, I'm back
on track.
- T. S., New York, NY
Judy and Robin seem to really care and take pride in a good match for all
involved. Judy and Robin listen to my needs and move quickly to locate the
right people. They give a realistic evaluation of the market and provide honest
insight that helps shape the search. They follow through on the entire process
to assure success for both the firm and the candidate.
- Ellen S., Intellectual Property Counsel, Fortune 500
Company
They give honest and realistic advice which you can trust about the job
market. During those frustrating waiting periods, Judy and Robin reassured
me with empathy and humor. I can't express my thanks enough for all the
time and hard work they dedicated to helping me find my position.
- Vanessa Hwang, Boston, MA
I met Judy and Robin shortly after receiving my JD and LLM. While most recruiters
prefer to work with mid-level and senior candidates, they were both extremely
helpful, providing direction and advice even when they were unlikely to benefit
financially from a potential placement. They are honest, personable and conduct
themselves with integrity. I expect to stay in touch for years to come.
