Client Testimonials
“The team in La Cañada Flintridge knew that hiring for a technical position like a city engineer would be difficult. To ensure our opportunity stood out, we asked Tripepi Smith to make the case for joining our team with solid language and great visuals for our recruiting brochure. The resulting materials were excellent and valuable throughout the recruitment process. Our search yielded two strong candidates from a large applicant pool that simply wouldn’t have been achievable without the recruiting support of Tripepi Smith.”
