Michelle Gargano

I’ve been working with Michelle for 3 years now to successfully expand multiple teams here at Commodore, across divisions. What separates Michelle from other recruiters is her dedication to not only sending resumes that might stick, but to fully building a relationship to establish trust and an extensive understanding of our company culture. I highly recommend partnering with Michelle for any of your talent acquisition needs.

Michelle Gargano is the very best recruiter I have ever had the pleasure of working with, and it isn’t particularly close. I spent 9 years with my previous employer. I had no interest in leaving, as comfort and familiarity was hard to think about losing. Most recruiters bombard you with template messages tailored to no one and expect you to be excited about whatever opportunity they may be presenting. I have ignored over 100 of these such recruiters in 2024 alone, but Michelle’s honest and customized approach blew me away. I wasn’t just a fish she hoped to catch in a wide cast net. No. I was a person and an industry professional that had desires and goals. Michelle, without any pressure, was able to have me open up about what my ideal work environment would actually look like. To my surprise, Michelle had someplace she thought would be a match. She didn’t come to me and say “I have a place looking do you want to interview”. Instead she took the “what do you want?” approach and then came to me with companies that fit my wants and needs. Michelle got all up inside my brain and ninja’d me out of my insecurities and fears and into the most lucrative position I had ever had, with the benefits I needed, and work flexibility that suited my family needs. I can now be a bigger part of my children’s daily lives and save money for vacations we were never able to afford. Michelle is the very pinnacle of the profession. She should be teaching others. She should be writing the book on recruiting. And I am proud to say I now consider Michelle to be a friend.
