Testimonials
Jason White - CEO
“Our Company is a 40+ year old family-owned, national business. We identified a need to take our IT leadership to the next level with the addition of a CIO.
In early 2023, we posted this position on Indeed and social media. Simply put….that did not work.
After sharing our “struggle” with friends and peers, we were introduced to Jason White and the DataMasters team. Within days, Jason’s team provided a dozen candidates and helped us to identify five to interview.
I was most impressed that they knew every candidate personally due to their work in IT staffing over many years.
Working with DataMasters was a huge success. Within three weeks we conducted four rounds of interviews and we found a great fit for our company.
The DataMasters team is professional, easy to work with, and well-connected in the IT space. Even though we could only hire one candidate, I’m confident all interviewed were capable and qualified.
We highly recommend DataMasters to help you identify and find the right IT professional for your organization.”
CEO/ President – Privately-held Retail/ Wholesale company
Stacey Green
“I’ve known Stacey Green since 2012 when she reached out to me about a new IT role.
From the very beginning, she was always transparent about the skills required and if she felt I was under or overqualified for any position. Stacey got to know me, my experience, and my desired career path.
She’s not one of those recruiters who tries to push you into a role that isn’t a good fit just to close a deal. She genuinely cares and will help you land the right job. If Stacey doesn’t have the right job for you, she’ll refer you to other team members who might.
Stacey is an excellent recruiter who forms genuine, long-term relationships where you feel valued.
I highly recommend Stacey Green for any recruiting needs.”
Matt – IT Director
“Stacey Green is a shining star among recruiters and will help anyone realize the difference between fast-talking impostors and the genuine article.
Her style of role-matching is where the magic happens, as she’ll truly try to match the talent with the company. By combining integrity with a straightforward personality, you’ll never have to worry about smoke, mirrors, or nonsense. Stacey will have both your and the company’s best interests in mind.
If that wasn’t enough, Stacey is also incredibly personable, humorous, and calm; three qualities absent from many, other recruiters.
Your welcome connection with her will be founded upon the obvious reality that you’re in good hands.
Is Stacey the complete package? My experience says, “Absolutely, 100%.”
Sean – Software Development Manager
“Stacey Green did an amazing job at understanding that my skill level was well above my resume. She used that understanding to place me with the perfect company to fit my criteria and the company’s.
It is very rare today to work with someone like Stacey who care about what happens to both the candidate and the client.
Stacey goes above and beyond for both and that’s what makes her great!”
Lamar – Systems/ Network Strategist
Stacey Griffith
“When you envision the prototypical recruiter, thoughts of quota-driven individuals with zero vested interest in their candidates come to mind.
Stacey Griffith is a refreshing exception to this generalization. Every phone call I received was like talking to a friend. Every job scouted was relative to my experience, no square pegs in a round hole nonsense just to get as many recruits in front of a hiring manager as possible. Stacey is very thoughtful and meticulous when pairing candidates with a perfect fit opportunity.
>In summation, when you work with Stacey, expect a high level of personal service without sacrificing high-performance results. You will be in good hands with her (and the rest of the DataMasters team) cheering you on to success.”
Rusty – VP of Information Technology, Not-For-Profit
“Stacey Griffith’s candidates go to the top of the stack and get my immediate attention!
I have been working with Stacey for almost 12 years and highly recommend her recruiting skills. Stacey ensures she understands the job description by asking detailed questions to clarify/prioritize the skill set and personality traits needed for the position. Her technical recruiting experience is evident in her impressive knowledge/understanding of both infrastructure and application roles.
Stacey has a broad network of candidates as well as recruiting partners. She quickly responds to questions about candidates and has outstanding negotiating skills.
I know Stacey has vetted the candidate before she sends me the resume – and exactly why her candidates take priority with me.”
Renee – IT Portfolio Manager – Supply Chain & Manufacturing
“Stacey Griffith recruited me for a Consumer Products Company.
I consider Stacey a high-caliber recruitment professional. Her high degree of honesty was impressive and made the process of finding employment a smooth process. I also found her willingness to go that extra mile, at any time (including major holidays) to be outstanding.
Since being employed with my current employer, Stacey has helped them with finding a contractor in the MCD team. Her selection of candidates was of great skill and all were worth consideration, this speaks to Stacey‘s ability to understand the needs of the client and match them with the “good fit” candidate.
I would highly recommend Stacey as a recruiter for any potential candidate or organization.”
