Kind Words

  • Kyle Weiss, Team Lead/Senior Account Executive

    My advice, do what Kate and Emerald Edge say and reap the rewards. What I was most impressed with Kate is that she genuinely cares about the fit between company and new hire. She wants her clients to thrive in their new role and for both parties to benefit in the new appointment. Kate knows the ins and outs of the B2B Saas world and found my perfect employer match. For anyone who is looking to change roles, find a better fit or break into the Saas world, I cannot recommend Kate and Emerald Edge enough.

  • Eric Gordon, Director of Sales

    I have worked with Kate/Emerald Edge for almost a decade and they have helped me build several sales and revenue teams at a few different companies. Kate takes the time to understand our business needs, strategy, and existing teams to identify top-performing talent for our open positions. When Emerald Edge presents candidates to our hiring managers, it streamlines our hiring process due to the thorough screening and vetting process that aligns with our open positions.

  • Madison Sage-Wasdin, Commercial Account Executive

    I've been in tech sales for over 12 years; during that time, I've have worked with countless recruiters that provided lackluster results. Fortunately, all of that changed after I was introduced to Kate Merrill at Emerald Edge Consulting! Kate is passionate about finding the best candidates, understanding their needs, wants, and professional goals, and setting them up for success throughout the entire interview process. If you're looking for a tenacious recruiter to find your next dream job, look no further than Kate Merrill!

  • Brian Hunt, Sales Development Representative

    Margaret and Kate at Emerald Edge are an absolutely stellar team. They were there every step of the way for me whether it was resume adjustments, interview prep, or confidence building, and the one that stood out to me the most was the amount that they genuinely cared about me. I have referred as many people as I can to them and will continue to do so. They are the best in the business and will make you feel valued. I highly recommend Emerald Edge to anyone looking to further, better, or change their career paths.

  • Paddy Ivers, Sales Development Representative

    The aid and support I had from Emerald Edge was phenomenal, I think coming from a non-sales background trying to move into the sales world that I wouldn’t have been able to do that so efficiently without the help of Margaret. The entire company is focused on streamlining and providing support for people looking to move forward in their career, the help that they provided was invaluable.
