She made me feel at ease throughout the hiring process and was extremely helpful in determining what would be the best fit for me. Rachel was always responsive and professional and did everything in a caring manner. Rather than just trying to fill a role or check a box, she made sure I was happy with my placement. I am very grateful for her and Profiles because, if it wasn’t for them, I would not be where I am today.” – Kara F.

Not Your Average Employment Agency

We wanted to learn all about Profiles of Baltimore and its impressive online reputation, so we took a few minutes to talk with Digital Marketing Specialist, Christy DeAngelo.

The first question we had for Christy was what is it that sets Profiles of Baltimore apart from their competition in Maryland. Here’s Christy’s response:

“We are a relationship-driven company with a focus on creating meaningful connections to best pair top candidates with our top clients. Our Recruiters go beyond resumes and skill sets to develop deeper relationships with our most talented professionals seeking jobs. Our Business Development Managers take the extra time to thoroughly understand our clients’ needs and expectations, as well as their culture, brand, business strategy and goals. We are there for our customers every step of the way.”

We also wanted to know what their mission is at Profiles of Baltimore and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s what Christy had to say:

“Externally, our mission is to partner with our clients to deliver the most dynamic talent-pool while aligning with industry trends and technology, thus, enhancing the brands and technologies of enterprise corporations through the expertise of our consultants. Internally, we aim to empower our team to be real advocates for our clients, cities and talent.”

Building Success Through Consistency, Data and Engagement

Christy attributes Profiles of Baltimore’s strong online reputation to their data-minded marketing department that constantly strategizes ways to reach their audience, which includes trying new technologies, testing copy and channels, tapping into analytics and hyper-targeting. She added:

“It’s a no brainer that consistency is important to brand and online activity, but it truly does make a difference. But lastly, what helps foster our strong online presence is employer branding and candidate relationship management — tapping into reviews, messaging platforms and NPS (Net Promoter Score) ratings. The engagement from our audiences is what feeds our brand.”

Christy went on to say:

“Our online presence encompasses one entity, but we have brick and mortar locations in four cities — Baltimore, MD, Philadelphia, PA, Richmond, VA, and Washington, DC. This works for us, considering we place candidates nationwide. Where appropriate, we build out separate profiles or additional location pages to alleviate any confusion…”

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Profiles of Baltimore has gotten their name out there through a robust digital footprint, by connecting with professionals and prospects at networking events and conferences, and by running a number of digital campaigns and initiatives to reach their audience.

There are so many business owners out there looking to build the kind of online reputation Profiles of Baltimore has. Here’s Christy’s expert advice for them:

“Explore processes. Explore technologies. From there, decide what works for your business. If Pinterest does not bode well with the nature of your business or your audience, do not waste your time. With that, demo new technologies. Even if you are not in the running for any new resources, it is always beneficial to learn what is available, where the tech is going and what the new trends are.”


Congratulations to the team at Profiles of Baltimore for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Christy, for taking the time to speak with us!

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Profiles of Washington, DC has grown through digital campaigns, by attending networking events and conferences, as well as through employer branding:

“Behind the scenes of the online presence, we are a working cog, tapping into reviews and feedback via messaging and conducting NPS surveys to gather and learn from feedback. We are always open to feedback and continuously have a finger on the pulse of our relationships, not only to see if we are doing well, but to see what we can improve. It is through these activities that we can tell our customers, ‘We hear you!’ It’s one thing to offer the opportunity to share feedback; it’s another to not follow-through.”

There are many business owners looking to grow their business and build their online reputation. Here’s Christy’s expert advice for them:

“Explore processes. Explore technologies. From there, decide what works for your business. If Pinterest does not bode well with the nature of your business or your audience, do not waste your time.

Not Your Average Employment Agency

We wanted to know what makes New York’s number one employment agency so special, so we took a few minutes to talk with Account Manager, Emmey.

The first question we had for Emmey was what makes Aerotek of Syracuse unique compared to their competition in New York. Here’s what he had to say:

“Aerotek, for the past four years, has been awarded best of client and customer. We have achieved world-class for our contracts. We started in 1983, so we have been around for a long time. If we can’t provide our clients with what they need, we refer them to a company that can. We don’t turn people away without giving them an outlet for help.”

Emmey added:

“I would like to shout out our recruiting team. They’re truly the heart behind giving all of our contractors the best experience, which has allowed us to have such a great online presence.”

Building Success Through Happy Clients

When we asked Emmey what their secret is to such a strong online reputation at Aerotek of Syracuse, she attributed it to their commitment to making sure that their customers are happy, that they reach out about any issues within 24 hours and that they are constantly taking care of their clients.

Every business owner wants to grow their business and build their online reputation the way Aerotek of Syracuse has. Here’s Emmey’s advice for them:

“Honestly provide a great service so that, when you ask for a review, people will give you positive feedback. A lot of times, you don’t have to ask for that review because you have changed their lives. I feel we do that because we are honest with other people…”


Congratulations to the team at Aerotek of Syracuse for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Emmey, for taking the time to speak with us!

“[This is] one of the best medical staffing agencies to work [with]. They have an exceptional staff that really understands and supports all of your needs. I highly recommend working with them if you are pursuing a career as a travel nurse. Also, the payroll department is super helpful!” – Samuel F.

A One-of-a-Kind Employment Agency’s Secret to a Strong Online Reputation

MAS Medical Staffing has managed to build the kind of reputation any business owner would envy, and to learn a little more about that reputation and this one-of-a-kind business, we sat down with Marketing Director, Alicia Ghannad.

The first thing we wanted to know was what makes MAS Medical Staffing unique compared to the many other employment agencies in New Hampshire. Alicia told us:

“We Care. When you work with us, you’re not just a number; you’re a person. We do more than just putting you in a job. We’re there with you throughout the entire experience to ensure that it’s a positive one and it leaves you feeling great when you’re at your assignment. You tell us where you want to go and what you’re looking for, and we’ll get you there. A big part of why we are successful is that we offer more than just your normal benefits package. We offer different perks just for working with us and being loyal to us. You can continue your education, earn additional cash incentives or even take a paid vacation. We are a goal-oriented company; we explore your goals and dreams and make them a reality. We want our employees to feel empowered when they meet or exceed goals, and we celebrate YOU.”

When we asked what the secret is to such a solid online reputation at MAS Medical Staffing, Alicia pointed to the fact that providing exceptional service is their number one priority:

“In such a competitive environment, I feel that, if you’re not creating a meaningful, trusting relationship, you’re not doing it right! It’s also all about being consistent with it, following up, showing empathy and that you are there for them, and being available and present. It really goes a long way! The people who work with us become an extension of our family…”

Alicia also told us about how important feedback is to her and her team:

“Online surveys are super important to us; we thrive off positive as well as negative feedback. We are always looking to innovate our processes and evolve our culture.”

Making the World a Better Place by Empowering Excellence

We also wanted to know what their mission is at MAS Medical Staffing and how they work to make the world a better place. Alicia said:

“Our corporate mission is to promote and sustain a culture that empowers excellence. We work to empower all of the people we come in contact with and make a difference in the world. We bring meaningful careers to people and allow them to grow. It’s not just a job; we try to focus on the fact that it’s your life, it’s where you spend a lot of your time. Ensuring that our employees are happy inside and outside of work is super important.”

Alicia went on to tell us about a few of the other ways they’ve given back to their community.

“Every year, in what’s called MAS Gives Back, we partner with a local charity. This year, we’re partnered with the National Alliance of Mental Health for New Hampshire. We hold fundraising initiatives throughout the entire year and raise money and awareness. We do a lot of local work. We do Beautify Londonderry Day, where we walk around and pick up trash all alongside the main roads. We attend a ton of career fairs and different local events. …We have a great Internship program where work to teach college students about our industry and help them learn, whether its sales, recruiting or marketing.”

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, MAS Medical Staffing has grown by having multiple touchpoints with their clients, including check-in phone calls and emails. They also celebrate birthdays by sending branded apparel to their clients to say thank you for working with them.

It’s clear that Alicia knows a thing or two about growing a business and building an online reputation. Here’s her expert advice for the many other business owners out there:

“BE CONSISTENT! A positive online reputation isn’t built in a day; you have to work at it diligently. Tell your story; tell your employees’ success stories. Work at it every day.”

Alicia added:

“I believe that it all stems from the service provided in your very first interaction. It’s simple; if you’re providing great service then your aiding in creating that positive word of mouth. If people feel happy with the services they receive, they will go online and talk about you. They will tell their colleagues, friends and family about your business. It’s all about that word of mouth and doing meaningful work. If you treat your staff right and make sure they’re happy, they will then promote you in return. We have employees that live, breathe and bleed MAS. They’re online talking about us and they’re leaving us positives reviews. It’s really about staying connected with them. You’re not going to get reviews if you’re not following up with them and making sure you have a relationship with them.”


Congratulations to the team at MAS Medical Staffing for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner!

We highly recommend MAS Medical Staffing in Londonderry. Visit their website today!

“A percentage of everything we make goes to Oklahoma Baptist Children’s Home, Plumbline — which does mental health counseling — and DaySpring Villa — a women’s shelter. These charities are special to us, and that is just one of the ways we like to make an impact on the community.

When we asked Cory how Trinity Employment Specialists has gotten their name out there outside of building a powerful online reputation, he said:

“We do everything. ‘What aren’t we doing?’ is a better question. We use Indeed, Glassdoor and Facebook. We do everything to keep things up to date. I do a podcast every week that helps people with the decision process of selecting a new job.”

It’s clear that Cory knows a thing or two about growing a business and building an online reputation. Here’s his expert advice for the many other business owners out there:

“Be authentic, and quit trying to fake it. It’s a marathon; it’s not a sprint. People today are trained to see through the hype and really can tell if you’re being authentic. If you love people, they will be able to see it in your eyes. We strive for that here, and we hope you feel that.”
